In East Asia, the situation on the Korean Peninsula is very tense. South Korea held targeted military exercises with the United States on the so-called "Cheonan" incident. The Korean Peninsula is a strategic buffer zone for China's northeast security, so the tension on the peninsula will not only undermine the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula, but also affect China's modernization process. Moreover, Japan arrested a Chinese captain near Diaoyu Island in China, which led to the continuous tension between China and Japan. Japan's hawkish foreign minister Seiji Maehara openly fabricated that the Chinese and Japanese foreign ministers had reached an agreement on the East China Sea issue, and openly accused China of "China's rare earth export stagnation". US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton even said that Diaoyu Island belongs to Article 5 of the US-Japan Security Treaty, which is the defense obligation of the United States to Japan. Summing up the recent situation in East Asia, China is under pressure from the United States, Japan and South Korea. The situation is not optimistic.

In the South Asian Peninsula, India has always regarded China as an opponent rather than a friend. Its strategic goal in the 2 1 century is to develop a powerful military force, deter Pakistan, contain China, prevent foreign powers from infiltrating into South Asia and control the Indian Ocean. Indian Ocean is the only way for China to connect the Middle East, Persian Gulf, Mediterranean Sea and East Africa. Indian and Pakistani competition in nuclear and conventional armaments has intensified, which also threatens the situation in western China. In Southeast Asia, many ASEAN countries have territorial and territorial disputes with China. However, the actual occupied area of Nansha Islands is not much. In recent years, Indonesian, Malaysian and other countries illegally collected oil and gas in China's territorial waters, which also seriously damaged China's territorial sovereignty and economic interests. Recently, Vietnam told the outside world at the ASEAN summit that Vietnam plans to reopen Cam Ranh Bay to foreign warships. No matter which country uses this port, it will definitely have an impact on the situation in the South China Sea.

Russia in North Asia has been China's largest neighbor since ancient times, and it is also one of the most important factors affecting China's security. In recent years, Sino-Russian relations have been friendly, but it is still unknown whether the revived Russia will be as aggressive as before. The situation in Central Asia is more complicated. After the color revolution in Central Asian countries, the political instability and unrest in some countries will inevitably affect the security situation in China. The political situation in Thailand in the western region is unstable, and there have been many red and yellow confrontations, while riots have occurred in Myanmar, and a large number of refugees have fled to the China-Myanmar border. Events have also affected the stability of the situation in China.
