How to build our geopolitical security

If someone insists on imposing war on us, we will not be left to be slaughtered or bullied. But right now, the initiative of war cannot be said to be in the hands of the provocateur. We, China, still have choices and room for manoeuvre, whether to choose war or peace, which needs to be determined by us according to the principle of maximizing our national interests, and which choice is the most advantageous for China, and that's our choice.

Even if we choose war, we will not make such a decision out of anger, but rather such a choice must be in the best interest of our country. China's geopolitical environment has been in a perilous state since the late Qing Dynasty, as evidenced by the changes in China's map.

China's geopolitical security environment is generally characterized by the simultaneous deepening of China's interdependence and mutual friction with the outside world, the parallelism of strategic cooperation and strategic precaution, and the concomitance of strategic opportunities and strategic challenges. What is noteworthy is that the negative side of China's security environment is on the rise, with an increase in low-frequency shocks. Comparatively speaking, the south is relatively turbulent, while the north is relatively stable; the sea is relatively turbulent, while the land is relatively stable; the security field is relatively turbulent, while the economic and trade fields are relatively stable; the near periphery is relatively turbulent, while the far periphery is relatively stable.

The main purpose of the U.S. return to the Asia-Pacific is to maintain U.S. hegemony and the dominance of Asia-Pacific affairs unchallenged, and the containment of China's rise has naturally become the main goal of its Asia-Pacific strategy.

Economically, the U.S. rules to dominate and operate the TPP, and exclude China, blocking the ASEAN economic integration process. Militarily, it loosens its grip on Japan, makes security commitments to Southeast Asian countries, stirs up territorial and territorial sea disputes in China's neighborhood, pulls China's attention, and curtails the expansion of China's influence.

There are many inherent contradictions and hot spots in the Asia-Pacific region, coupled with new crises and conflicts caused by the U.S. factor that are on the rise, the security situation is becoming increasingly severe. In the foreseeable future, the Asia-Pacific region will gradually develop into the world's economic, political, military and cultural center of gravity, and regional security issues will certainly become an important aspect of international security.

In short, the great power game based on the strategic space competition is in full swing, and the resulting regional security issues are getting more and more intense, and the international security environment is facing serious challenges.
