Traditional security threatens traditional security concept.

Traditional security threats develop with the emergence of countries, such as ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts, territorial disputes, resource disputes, ideological opposition and so on. If these contradictions are not handled well, it will lead to all-round confrontation between countries in politics, economy, diplomacy and even military affairs, until armed conflicts break out. During the Cold War, there were hundreds of wars in the world, most of which were caused by traditional security problems.

After the cold war, with the continuous development of world multipolarization and economic globalization, the international situation has undergone profound changes. Although the traditional security threats have not been completely eliminated, their influence has declined relatively, which is an important reason for the gradual easing of the international situation. At the same time, under this background, due to the existence of various international contradictions and the imbalance of world development, some non-traditional security factors have become increasingly prominent. In addition to the increasingly rampant threat of international terrorism and the widening gap between the North and the South, economic security issues such as the Asian financial crisis that led to the near collapse of multinational economies in a certain region, information security issues such as hackers attacking international computer networks, stealing data, and disrupting network operation, as well as public health security issues such as the spread of major infectious diseases such as AIDS and SARS, have caused great loss of life and property, and transnational crimes such as transnational smuggling, drug trafficking, and illegal immigration. As well as serious pollution, environmental degradation, threatened biodiversity and other ecological security issues, all pose a new realistic threat to world peace and stability in the field of non-traditional security and a challenge to all mankind.
