At the same time, as a big country in the eastern part of the Asian continent and the western part of the Pacific Ocean, China's special geopolitical environment and its complex relations with neighboring countries in history and reality also constitute a "microclimate" that affects China's national security environment, and the strategic trends of the U.S., Russia, Japan, India, and other neighboring powers are essential "parameters" for evaluating and examining China's national security environment.

I. The new century, the international security situation

At the beginning of the new century, the international security situation is undergoing the most profound changes since the end of the Cold War. On the one hand, peace and development is still the theme of the times in today's world, the world war in the foreseeable future still can not fight, to security, cooperation, and promote development has become the world's peoples *** with the same aspirations and unremitting pursuit. But on the other hand, the world's overall peace and local wars, overall détente and local tensions, overall stability and local turbulence, the international security situation has become more intricate and complex, with various uncertainties growing unabated, and traditional and non-traditional security issues are intertwined, so that world peace and development are facing new tests and new challenges.

First, local wars will become the main form of warfare. After entering the new century, the world situation will generally tend to be more moderate, and a world war will not be possible, but various armed conflicts and localized wars triggered by factors such as ethnicity, religion, territory and resources will be unavoidable.

Second, military security has become more prominent. After the end of the Cold War, the United States and other Western countries, relying on their economic, scientific and technological and military superiority, in dealing with international affairs, the threat of the use of force and the tendency to direct military intervention has been significantly strengthened, hegemony, power politics, and further rise of the international security situation is still very grim, the military security factor will continue to be the focus of attention of all countries.

Third, to adapt to the new military transformation, take the road of science and technology to strengthen the country. The world's new military transformation continues to deepen, to win the modern conditions of high-tech local war is the focus of attention of all countries. The future of high-tech local wars put forward new requirements for the army construction, a new round of military changes affecting the world is deepening, relying on science and technology to strengthen the army, the implementation of the quality of the army, has become the beginning of the new century, the army construction of all countries **** the same choice.

Fourth, international security issues are becoming more diversified. Traditional security factors and non-traditional security factors are intertwined, making the uncertainties facing international security greatly increased. "The events of September 11th have shown that the threat to security in the new situation is all-encompassing, and the maintenance of security should also be all-encompassing, and that relying only on traditional military means is no longer sufficient to deal with the changing security situation. Therefore, the establishment of a new comprehensive security concept will be the 21st century countries to formulate national security strategy to emphasize the focus.

Traditional security threat factors mainly refer to the military threats facing the country and the military factors that threaten international security.

Non-traditional security threat factors are relative to traditional security threat factors, referring to factors other than military, political and diplomatic conflicts that pose a threat to the survival and development of sovereign states and humanity as a whole.

The characteristics of the world's military strategy pattern

1. Meaning The world's military strategy pattern refers to the relatively stable structure and posture formed in a certain period of history through interconnection and mutual struggles among the major strategic forces in the world's military field.

2, characteristics we know, from the early 20c90s, bipolar political pattern disintegration, the original military pattern also completely disintegrated, at present, the world's military strategy pattern is in the old and new alternation and to the direction of multi-polar development of the historical period.

(1) From the point of view of force structure, "one super strong" is the overall situation and general characteristics of the world's major military force ratio at present and even in the future for a long period of time. "One super" refers to the United States, "many strong" including Russia, Britain and France on behalf of the European countries, Japan, China, India and so on.

(2) From the perspective of strategic relations, after the end of the Cold War, the strategic relations between the major forces in the world military field have undergone profound changes and adjustments. The "one super" and "many strong" and "the powers" both competition and cooperation, both contradictory, but also coordinate with each other, both conflict of interest, there are security **** The same needs.

(3) From the perspective of development trend, multi-polar check and balance is the general trend. Fundamentally, the ultimate cause of the evolution of international relations lies in the economy, and the imbalance in the development of the world economy is changing the contrast of strategic forces in the world. Therefore, the globalization of the economy and the multipolarity of the economic landscape will certainly drive the multipolarity of the world's political and military landscape.

All in all, at the beginning of the 21st century, the world's new military-strategic pattern has begun to emerge, and at present, it mainly presents the structure and posture of "one super and many powers". And this military pattern appeared in the context of peace, it will exist for a considerable period of time, and with the comprehensive national strength of the countries and changes.
