First of all, China's national security environment is formed by internal and external interaction, rather than any party acting alone. To a considerable extent, it is the result of China's own internal role. For example, the end of ten years of turmoil in China has fundamentally improved the national security environment. Not only can we develop with peace of mind and seek security through stability, but other countries can also rest assured that China will not export ideology and poverty. This will help other countries to reduce their precautions against China, thus shaping the willingness of neighboring countries to have normal exchanges with China and making China feel that the external security environment is gradually improving. This is the overall logic and consequence of the improvement of China's national security environment since the reform and opening up, and its conclusion is basically unaffected by the twists and turns in China's neighboring relations over the past year.
Secondly, my long-term practice at home and abroad has brought me a good opportunity to improve my own strength. After a short period of efforts, China's total economic output has reached the second place in the world, and its total foreign trade has climbed to the first place in the world. This is the result of China's efforts to seek cooperation, which also makes China more capable of making a difference to the international community. In a more interdependent world environment, shaping the positive attitude of other countries towards China's national security environment can make China more secure. For example, China's main neighboring countries have taken China as their largest trading partner, which shows that China's willingness and ability to consume products from these countries have obviously increased, and China is also providing more necessary materials for the economic and people's livelihood development of these countries. The increasing economic and trade dependence between the two sides helps each other to resolve conflicts in a peaceful way, which is the driving force for China and neighboring countries to create a secure environment with each other brought about by China's progress.
Thirdly, China's reform and opening up for more than 30 years has brought unprecedented material strength to itself. As far as economic output is concerned, China's GDP exceeded Japan's by 0.7% last year, and it may exceed Japan's 10% this year. In a few years, it will surpass Japan twice and be closer to the United States. This is judged by the official exchange rate. If calculated by purchasing power parity, China's current economic output may have surpassed that of the United States 1/3 (calculated by purchasing power of one dollar equivalent to two yuan). Such national strength must be reflected in national defense. Judging from China's defense budget in 20 10, according to the official exchange rate, China's military expenditure of $78 billion has exceeded 50% of Japanese and 150% of Indian. According to China's military expenditure of 60 1, 0 1 billion RMB in 20 1 year, China's defense expenditure capacity will surpass that of Japan and India. Soon, China's GDP and military expenditure will exceed that of Japan and India combined. These factors will undoubtedly enhance China's ability to shape the national security environment with its own will when dealing with these issues.
