International influence and international status are the embodiment of a country's comprehensive strength, including economic, political, military, scientific and cultural development, which directly reflects a country's development prospects. Since the founding of 1949 People's Republic of China (PRC), China has once again stood in the east of the world as a big country. After more than 30 years' rapid development since the reform and opening up, China's international status has been continuously improved, and its international influence has also been continuously expanded. China is the largest developing country in the world, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and a staunch force for safeguarding world peace and promoting common development. China is playing an increasingly important role in the international arena. It can be said that almost all major international and regional issues were solved with the participation of China. After the outbreak of the financial crisis, important changes have taken place in the international pattern, and China's international influence and status have become more prominent, which is obvious to all the world. Facts have fully proved that the development of China cannot be separated from the world, and the prosperity and stability of the world cannot be separated from China.

Text 1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) was established! The people of China, suffering from war and backwardness, have finally stood up again! China, like a dragon, once again stands in the east of the world as a big country!
At that time, the people's livelihood in China was depressed, the economy was seriously backward, and the national cause was in ruins. Time flies like water, and the years are fleeting. Over the past 60 years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in China, and China's international status has also changed.
The international situation is undergoing profound changes. Peace and development are still the themes of today's times. World multipolarization and economic globalization continue to develop in twists and turns. Overall peace, local wars, overall relaxation, local tension, overall stability and local turmoil will be the basic trends of the international situation in the coming period.
Peace and development of mankind are still facing challenges that cannot be ignored. The unjust and irrational old international political and economic order has not been fundamentally changed, local wars, tensions and turmoil have broken out one after another, and the gap between the North and the South has further widened. Non-traditional security issues such as terrorism have become more prominent, and uncertainties facing global security have increased. In the face of new challenges, countries should go beyond traditional concepts, conform to the trend of the times, strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and coordinate closely. We should actively promote multi-polarization of the world and democratization of international relations, strive to establish a new international economic order that adapts to the development level and requirements of all countries, reform the irrational international financial and trade system, and guarantee the right of all countries, especially developing countries, to equal development. We should fully respect the diversity of the development of civilizations in various countries, and all civilizations and development paths should coexist harmoniously, learn from each other's strong points in competition and comparison, and make progress in seeking common ground while reserving differences. In other words, peace, relaxation, development and cooperation are the mainstream of the current international situation. In this situation, many big countries are seeking cooperation with China, and China's market potential and comprehensive national strength have attracted much attention. The main theme of relations between major powers is coordination and benign interaction. Although the global security strategy of the United States has not changed at present, it has to give up unilateralism and pay more attention to seeking cooperation and support among major powers because of its political missteps and out-of-control economy. The strategic position of the EU has risen, and its international participation has further increased. Russia further counteracts the western strategic squeeze, especially NATO's eastward expansion. The conflict between Russia and Georgia shows that Russia will not sacrifice its strategic bottom line, but it will not seek confrontation with the West and will not return to the Cold War. Japan's strategic intention of seeking great power status has not changed, but it also attaches great importance to dealing with its neighbors. The role and influence of some emerging economies in the international political and economic arena are increasing day by day, and western powers seek cooperation and coordination with them when dealing with international hot issues. These changes will affect the evolution of the global economic and political structure, and many countries propose to establish a new regional economic or monetary system. The new geo-strategy is being adjusted. China is more closely connected with the world than ever before. China has participated extensively in global and regional cooperation and has become an important driving force for world economic growth. In 2007, China's contribution to world economic growth surpassed that of the United States for the first time, ranking first in the world. In 2008, China contributed nearly 22% to the world economic growth. China has established numerous contacts with the international community, actively participated in international and regional affairs, fulfilled its due international obligations, played a responsible and constructive role in international affairs such as counter-terrorism, non-proliferation and combating piracy, and has become an important force for safeguarding world peace and promoting development.
The status of economic strength has risen significantly. In 2 1 century, China ranked first in the world economy last year, jumped to the third largest economy in 2008, and may become the second largest economy, the first in foreign exchange reserves and the third largest trading country in the world in 2009 or 20 10. In 2008, the total economic output reached 4.4 trillion US dollars, which laid the foundation for the change of China's international status. In this round of economic crisis, China's performance has also enhanced its international influence. On February 16 this year, the statistical bulletin released by the Cabinet Office of Japan showed that in the fourth quarter of 2008 (June 10 to February 12.7), Japan's GDP actually decreased by 12.7% at an annual rate, setting a new record of 65,438+. Affected by the first oil crisis in 1974, Japan's GDP decreased by 13.438+0% in the first quarter of that year. On the other hand, in China, GDP growth keeps rising year by year. In this situation, Japan has to seek cooperation with China. When meeting with China, president and Hu Jintao, Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama put forward the idea of establishing an East Asian Community in the form of EU, which may include adopting a single currency. Hu Jintao disagreed with this proposal, but he expressed the hope that peace and friendship in the sea area could be achieved by solving the crux of the dispute. As early as the Japanese war of aggression against China, Japan proposed the establishment of the Greater East Asia Glory Circle, which was obviously an excuse for aggression at that time. However, in this situation, Japanese democratic parties obviously believe that China can help Japan get rid of the United States and seek better development. The dominant country in East Asia must be China, and the unified currency must be RMB. Doesn't this mean that China's international status is improving?
In addition to economic strength, China's military, science and technology, and soft power have also continued to rise. Militarily, China's investment has been greatly improved, which makes China's navy and air force significantly improved compared with the 1990s. In terms of science and technology, space activities have made a breakthrough and attracted worldwide attention. In terms of soft power, China's development model has been recognized by more and more developing countries and developed countries, and has become a model that many countries try to emulate.
The Shenzhou VII manned space flight was launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 21:0004 seconds on September 25th, 2008. Astronaut Zhai Zhigang made his first extravehicular activity on September 27th 16: 30, becoming the first man to walk in space of China. China's space industry has developed to the point where the world takes notice. Some countries, such as French, also turned to China to help launch satellites. Isn't this a disguised recognition of China's advanced space technology?
In 2009, during the 60th National Day military parade in China, China displayed the J-J 10 fighter, new main battle tanks, new strategic missiles, "Air Police -2000" and "kj-200" early warning aircraft. "Zhi Jiu" new armed helicopter and improved "Ninth Five-Year Plan" artillery family. In the14th military parade in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China, all domestic advanced equipment appeared in the parade box, and the birth of J 10 made China the fifth country in the world to independently develop the third-generation fighter. The comprehensive performance of ZTZ-99 new tank ranks in the top three among the third generation tanks in the world. The Ninth Five-Year Plan shows once again that China is one of the few countries in the world that can independently develop light weapons. In the face of this series of names, which country dares to challenge the law?
While China's strength and international status are rising, the international status of other big countries in the world continues to decline, further demonstrating the remarkable rise of China's international status.
The "peaceful development" strategy put forward by the China government since the 16th National Congress, the continuous improvement and development of China's foreign relations, and its actions and performances in UN affairs, international economic and financial reform, anti-terrorism, preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and anti-piracy have been recognized and recognized worldwide.
China, the great changes in the past 60 years, will not be forgotten by everyone in China. As a college student, I also firmly believe that through our efforts and struggles, the motherland will become more and more prosperous and the people's lives will become better and better! On the journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, there will be one brilliant 60 years after another! The rise of the Chinese nation will surely make the world proud of us! Generally speaking, China's international status has been significantly improved due to the reform and opening up, and we should continue to strive to realize the revival of China.
