Why are there non-traditional security issues?

Non-traditional security issues mainly include: economic security, financial security, ecological environment security, information security, resource security, terrorism, weapons proliferation, disease spread, transnational crime, drug smuggling, illegal immigration, piracy, money laundering and so on.

Reason:

1 is a long-term injustice of the international political order, causing more contradictions and crises. Countries should treat each other as equals and live in harmony. The Charter of the United Nations and the norms of international law also require all countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, to be equal.

2. It is the long-term imbalance of world economic development that leads to the increase of unsafe factors. China sages have always believed that the disparity between the rich and the poor is an important source of contradictions and conflicts.

3. It is the long-term disharmony between human development and natural environment that leads to more environmental safety problems.

4. It is the mismatch between the rapid development of exchanges between countries and the construction of international crisis prevention mechanism that makes it difficult to contain various non-traditional security threats in time.
