In the past five years, from 10 to 15, China's international status has been significantly improved than ever before.
China's position in the world.
Generally speaking, China is the largest developing country in the world, with the strongest comprehensive strength, constantly improving its position in the international arena and increasing its influence in international affairs, making it an important force in the international arena.
First, China is an independent political power, a developing country with rapid economic growth, and a country with strong military defense.
Second, China is a permanent member of the United Nations and the only permanent member among the developing China countries. China is playing an increasingly important role, actively using United Nations forums to uphold and uphold justice.
Third, as the largest socialist country in the world, China has always pursued an independent foreign policy of peace, unswervingly followed the Socialism with Chinese characteristics road and the road of reform and opening up, and has become a country with great characteristics and influence in the world.
Fourthly, as the largest developing country, China has provided successful experience for developing countries to get rid of poverty economically. Politically, strengthening unity and cooperation with developing countries has made important contributions to opposing hegemonism and maintaining peace.
At present, China is the largest developing country in the world with the strongest comprehensive strength. Its position in the international arena has been continuously improved, and its influence in international affairs has been continuously enhanced, making it an important force in the international arena. The peaceful rise of China is of great significance to the whole world: first, it has promoted historical progress and the transformation of the world pattern; Second, China is an important force in opposing hegemonism, power politics and safeguarding world peace. Third, it has profoundly changed the face of the United Nations and greatly changed the status and role of this international organization. Fourth, it has changed the face of the world economy and promoted the international order.
Since the 20th century, China's international status has changed significantly.
First, the status of strength has risen significantly. 2 1 century, China's economic strength only ranks seventh in the world, with a GDP of about 1 trillion dollars. 2 1 0 in the first eight years of the century, China ranked first in the world economy last year, jumped to the third largest economy in 2008, and may become the second largest economy, the first in foreign exchange reserves and the third largest trading country in the world in 2009 or 20 10. In 2008, the total economic output reached 4.4 trillion US dollars, achieving the goal of quadrupling the total economic output by 2020 compared with 2000 12 years ahead of schedule. This change in strength and status laid the foundation for the change of China's international status.
Second, in addition to economic strength, China's military, science and technology, and soft power have also continued to rise. Militarily, the U.S. Department of Defense believes that China's military spending has increased at a double-digit rate every year for more than 20 years. With such a large investment, the strength of China's navy and air force has been significantly improved compared with the 1990s, and the scope of military activities has also been expanded. In terms of science and technology, space activities have made a breakthrough, which makes China people all over the world proud and makes the world sit up and take notice. In terms of soft power, China's development model has been recognized by more and more developing countries and developed countries, and has become a model that many countries try to emulate. There is a certain degree of Chinese craze in the world, which also shows that China's status has risen.
Third, since the financial crisis, China's strength has not been fundamentally hurt, and its international status has risen instead of falling. The world generally hopes that China will take the lead in getting out of the crisis and lead the world to recover. China's $2 trillion foreign exchange reserves and sufficient capital in its banking system make China the backbone of a few countries in crisis. The strength and international status of banks and enterprises in China have improved significantly, and overseas acquisitions are very active.
Fourthly, while China's strength and international status are rising, the negative attitude of western countries towards China remains unchanged due to ideology, social system, values and other factors. China's overall international image and reputation have not fundamentally improved in the mainstream western public opinion, and the fundamentals are still negative, which is reflected in the torch relay outside the Olympic Games, Lhasa "3? 14 "serious violent crimes of beating, smashing, looting and burning", "poisoned milk" and "poisoned jiaozi" are clearly stated. We have two images in the world: one is a powerful country, getting stronger and stronger; The other is a "bad country", which criticizes that our social system and ideology are not the mainstream of the world, and there is no democracy, no human rights, no freedom, no legal system and no credit. This is a common view in the western world. We must keep a clear head and take corresponding measures.
