Throughout the 18th century, China has always been the world's largest economy.However, it subsequently experienced the rapid failure of the national strength after the Opium War, the chaos of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the warlord section, the Anti -Japanese War, and the KMT civil war.Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the People's Republic of China was formally established on October 1, 1949, marking the beginning of New China.
After 70 years of development, China is already the world's second largest economy today.China's comprehensive national strength is not only reflected in the economy, but also in terms of strategic strength and international influence.Yesterday, China held the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and showed its power through a military parade.
In these 70 years, China has not been easy all the way, and it has taken a lot of detours.As Deng Xiaoping, known as the chief designer of China Reform and Opening, said, China crossed the river with stones.Although China has accumulated many years of experience in terms of economic construction, its special historical, political system, and ideology has led to the development of the next stage, and there are still variables.
In 1978, China farewell to the class struggle, fully developed the economy, implemented the reform and opening up policy, and was committed to integrating with the international community.Many of the motivation to reform in China is because the external world has improved too fast. China's backwardness is obvious, and it is necessary to change.At the next stage, China's reform and opening up is not only dealing with external forced external forces, but also must be rely on endogenous power.
The Sino -US trade war shows that the disputes between the two countries are not just tariffs.In fact, the United States is trying to decide with China in the field of economy and science and technology cooperation.According to reports, US President Trump is considering Chinese companies that will be listed in the US stock market to remove cards.Although a spokesman for the US Treasury Department said that it has not yet considered preventing Chinese companies from being listed on the US stock market, it has also reported that the Nasdaq Exchange is strengthening the restrictions on the listing of Chinese technology companies, including slowing the approval process.
The front of the Sino -US trade war has expanded, rewriting the open system and economic order that the international community is accustomed to.With the strengthening of China's economic strength, it will not easily succumb to external pressure.In this case, whether the power of endogenous power is sufficient to ensure the pace of China's reform and opening up, it will be of great significance to the global economy.
Secondly, with the improvement of China's national strength and the changes in the strategic environment, will it adjust the content and cognition of peace and unity?
Chinese President ... With a deep sense of history, he put forward the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the important part of them is the integrity of territory.Although peaceful reunification is the main theme of China, the Chinese military has repeatedly stated that for the reunification of the motherland, he will not hesitate.
The strategic competition between China and the United States is fierce, and some strategic scholars in the United States have proposed a trap of Xunxidide, who must have a battle of the great power and the rise of the great power.Before China and the United States have not established a tolerance new -type relationship, how China dealt with the Hong Kong and Taiwan issues will affect the nerves of regional countries.
Third, after China's rise, how to exercise its new power in this area?How to make neighboring countries benefit from the development of China without feeling pressure?
The rapid development of China's economy has inevitably increase its influence in the region and even the world.Due to the different historical and system, China's strength projection in this region must be advanced and retreat, and a long process of adjustment is needed.In this regard, the way of promoting the strategy of the Belt and Road Initiative in China will determine whether it is regarded as a benign power in the region.
Global economic growth has slowed rapidly, and the trade war from the U.S. priority policy in the United States is a major challenge to China's rise.The United States' blockade in the field of trade and technology will inevitably slow down China's economic development.
However, this is also an opportunity for China.Under the wave of global protectionism, if China can continue to advance the process of reform and opening up, and play the role of leading sheep in terms of multilateral cooperation, it will help further enhance its strategic and economic strength.At the same time, when China exercises its new power, if it can adhere to the rise of peace and the principles of serving people with morality, demonstrate the king instead of domineering, it will be able to win a position that matches its economic strength on the international stage.Essence
