The significance of traditional security

In the structure of international relations, each country independently exercises sovereignty, but it should not have authority over other countries. Countries cannot act rashly, and their actions will be restricted by external forces (mainly those of other countries). Countries rely on internal forces to safeguard their own security. But in fact, the country's strength, geographical location and population resources affect the country's ability and foreign policy orientation, and it is difficult for external forces to restrict a powerful country.

More importantly, there are no abstract moral principles in international relations. Although some western countries advocate the existence of such a principle, in practice, national interests are the standard of behavior. Countries use power to pursue interests, and power is the greatest guarantee for countries to gain interests and win conflicts. In this sense, traditional security mainly refers to national security.
