The development trend of. Maintain world peace and promote

* * * With the development

The world today is in a historical period of great change. The bipolar pattern has ended, various forces have regrouped, and the world is moving towards multipolarization. The formation of the new pattern will be a long and complicated process. It is possible to strive for a peaceful international environment and avoid a new world war for a long time to come. At the same time, we must also see that the current international situation is still turbulent. Various contradictions in the world are developing in depth, and ethnic contradictions, territorial disputes and religious disputes in many countries and regions are prominent, even leading to bloody conflicts and local wars. With the increasingly fierce international economic competition, the economic environment of many developing countries has deteriorated, and the gap between North and South has further widened.

Peace and development are still two major themes in today's world. Development needs peace, and peace cannot be separated from development. The existence of hegemonism and power politics has always been the main obstacle to solving the problems of peace and development. The development of the world must not be based on the long-term poverty and backwardness of developing countries. The drastic changes and turmoil in the international situation have further awakened the people of the world. Developing countries with the same historical experience are strengthening the trend of maintaining independence, sovereignty, unity and cooperation. World peace, national development, social progress, economic prosperity and improvement of living standards have become universal demands of people all over the world.

Seeking development in peace and stability is an urgent task in today's world. With the internationalization of world economic life, the economic ties between countries are deepening day by day. Production layout, investment direction, financial exchange, scientific and technological development, personnel training, and even environmental protection have all crossed national boundaries. The growth rate of world trade greatly exceeds the growth rate of world economy. The scientific and technological revolution is permeating all walks of life, and the scale of economic activities is expanding and the speed is accelerating. The development of such a global economy cannot be based on the development of a few countries and the long-term backwardness of most countries. The world economy needs new impetus and the world market needs new supplements. The economic prosperity of developing countries is the hope of sustained growth of the world economy.

Developing countries, which account for the vast majority of the world's population, have great development potential. Their backwardness and poverty are mainly caused by colonial rule in history and unfair and unreasonable international economic order in reality. Now, more and more developing countries have followed the development trend of world economic internationalization and embarked on a development path with their own characteristics from their own national conditions. Facts have proved that only by taking this road is the road to success. This trend will be even stronger in the new century. I think that if the political rise of developing countries is a major feature of the evolution of the international situation in the second half of the twentieth century, then their economic take-off will be an important symbol of the new world pattern in the twenty-first century. Developing countries will become prosperous and powerful, and billions of people will get rid of poverty completely, which will provide huge trade and investment opportunities for all countries, open up a broad market for emerging technologies and industries, inject infinite vitality into the global economy, and push it to a new stage of development. At the same time, the prosperity of developing countries will also lay a healthy foundation for multipolarization, provide favorable conditions for the establishment of a just and rational new international economic order, and ensure lasting world peace more effectively. In a word, the economic prosperity of developing countries will be a great contribution to the progress of human society.

The world is moving towards multipolarization, which is a prominent feature of the current international situation. No matter in the global or regional scope, no matter in the political or economic fields, the trend of multipolarization is accelerating. Gone are the days when a few big countries or groups of big countries monopolized world affairs and dominated the fate of other countries. Relations between major powers are constantly adjusting, and many power centers are taking shape. The overall strength of developing countries has increased and their status has risen, making them an important force that cannot be ignored in the international arena. Various regional organizations are increasingly active, showing great vitality. Although it is still a long process to form a multi-polar world, this trend has become an irresistible historical trend, which is of great significance to promoting world peace, stability and development.

With the end of the "Cold War", the power of peace has been further strengthened. Mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and no hegemonism and power politics; Dialogue and cooperation, rather than confrontation and conflict, have become the consensus of more and more countries.

Japan), Selected Important Documents Since the 14th National Congress, Volume II, p. 2469.

Generally speaking, the current international situation continues to ease. Peace and development are the themes of our times. The trend of multipolarization has made new progress in the global or regional scope, in politics, economy and other fields, and new divisions and combinations of various forces in the world have emerged. The relations between major powers are undergoing major and profound adjustments. Various regional and intercontinental cooperation organizations are unprecedentedly active. The overall strength of developing countries is increasing. The development of multipolarization is conducive to world peace, stability and prosperity. People all over the world are calling for equal treatment and friendly coexistence. Peace, cooperation and development have become the mainstream of the times. The factors for maintaining world peace are growing. For a long time, it is possible to avoid a new world war and strive for a good international peace environment and surrounding environment.

However, the cold war mentality still exists, and hegemonism and power politics are still the main sources that threaten world peace and stability. Expanding military blocs and strengthening military alliances are not conducive to maintaining peace and ensuring security. The unjust and irrational old international economic order is still harming the interests of developing countries. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening. The phenomenon of using "human rights" and other issues to interfere in other countries' internal affairs is still very serious. Local conflicts caused by ethnic, religious, territorial and other factors are one after another. The world is still restless.

Hold high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory and comprehensively promote the cause of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Judging from the current world economic development, there are several trends that deserve our attention. First, world economic and technological cooperation has been strengthened, and the trend of globalization has become more and more obvious. Economic marketization, internationalization of trade and investment and regional economic cooperation have accelerated. Countries have increasingly close economic ties, deepening interdependence, enhanced cooperation, and intensified friction and competition. The competition of global market, capital and resources is more intense, and the worldwide trade competition and the contest of economic strength between countries are more and more intense. Second, the world's scientific and technological revolution is advancing by leaps and bounds, and countries pay more attention to the development of high-tech and key technologies. There is a saying in the world that the next century will enter the era of information economy, science and technology economy and sustainable development economy. The new technological revolution is changing the traditional mode of production and becoming the main driving force of modern economic growth. Third, international finance is becoming more and more active, which has a greater impact on economic development. In recent years, international capital flows have accelerated, but financial risks have also increased, and financial markets have fluctuated greatly, especially the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia this year, which has spread to many regions around the world. We should pay close attention to the changes in the international financial market, learn from the experience and lessons of other countries, and strive to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Speech at the Central Economic Work Conference (1997 65438+February 9)

The trend of economic globalization is the product of the development of world economy and science and technology. It brings development opportunities as well as severe challenges and risks to all countries in the world, and puts forward a new topic for all countries, especially developing countries, on how to maintain their own economic security.

The trend of economic globalization requires countries to actively participate in international economic cooperation. However, when opening wider to the outside world, countries should follow their own specific conditions step by step and pay attention to improving their ability to prevent and resist risks.

The trend of economic globalization has deepened the interdependence and mutual influence of national economies. Once economic crisis occurs in some countries and regions, not only developing countries will suffer greatly, but also developed countries will find it difficult to stay out of it. A globalized economy needs global cooperation. All members of the international community should jointly safeguard the stable development of the world economy in the spirit of responsibility and risk sharing.

The trend of economic globalization has occurred and developed under the condition that the unjust and unreasonable old international economic order has not been fundamentally changed, so it will inevitably continue to widen the development gap between poor countries and rich countries. The fundamental way out lies in efforts to promote the establishment of a just and rational new international economic order conducive to the common development of all countries.

After the end of the cold war, the world has developed towards multipolarization, but the formation of multipolarization will take a long time, during which it will be full of fierce struggles of various political forces. Various forces in the world are undergoing new differentiation and combination. The United States has become the only superpower, while the European Union, Japanese, Russian and China are also relatively prominent, and the overall strength of developing countries has increased. The trend of multipolarization reflects the profound changes and historical development of international relations, which is conducive to weakening and containing hegemonism and power politics and promoting the establishment of a just and rational new international political and economic order. However, we must also see that the development of various forces in the world is still very uneven.

At present, the trend of multi-polarization in the world continues to develop, the international situation is still tending to ease on the whole, and peace and development remain the theme of the times. Although the world is still far from peaceful, it is possible to avoid a new world war for a long time. The final formation of multipolarization will be a long-term process full of complex struggles, but this historical direction is irreversible. This is an important judgment made by the CPC Central Committee on the basis of scientific analysis of contemporary world contradictions and comprehensive examination of the growth and decline of peace forces and war factors.

Speech at the Central Economic Work Conference (1999165438+10/5)

Looking forward to the development and changes of the world economy, there are three trends that deserve our high attention. First of all, the world is undergoing economic restructuring. In recent years, great changes have taken place in industrial structure, product structure and enterprise structure in various countries, especially in developed countries. The rapid development of emerging industries, especially the development of information industry, has prompted changes in traditional industries. New products emerge in an endless stream, and the proportion of high-tech products in social production is increasing day by day. The wave of mergers and acquisitions in western countries has greatly improved their ability to seize the market, monopolize technology and obtain excess profits. Second, scientific and technological progress has advanced by leaps and bounds. The application of computers, the development of information technology, the application of new materials, new energy, genetic engineering, aerospace technology and other high and new technologies have greatly changed the mode of production and lifestyle of society. The possession, allocation, production and application of knowledge or intellectual resources have become an important support for economic development. The competition of countries' comprehensive national strength will rely more on scientific and technological progress and knowledge innovation. Third, the influence of multinational corporations is growing. The rapid expansion of multinational corporations has caused changes in investment methods and international division of labor, accelerated the globalization of production, investment, trade and finance, strengthened international economic ties, but also intensified international competition. Economic globalization is a double-edged sword, which not only provides new conditions for the development of all countries, but also brings risks to varying degrees. Developed countries have obvious advantages in the process of economic globalization, while developing countries are in a relatively unfavorable position because of their low level of economic development and weak ability to take advantage of opportunities and prevent risks. If the strategy is not properly grasped, its finance and economy will face risks and shocks. The outbreak of the Asian financial crisis fully illustrates this point.

From a comprehensive analysis of the international economic situation, we can also draw the conclusion that the trend of economic globalization has brought and is bringing profound influence to the economic development of all countries. We are faced with both new development opportunities and severe challenges. We must strengthen our sense of hardship and strive to make ourselves develop faster and better.

Speech at the Central Economic Work Conference (1999165438+10/5)

The trend of multipolarization in the international situation is the requirement of the progress of the times, in line with the interests of people of all countries and conducive to world peace and security. This multi-polarization pattern is different from the situation in history in which great powers competed for hegemony and carved up spheres of influence. Countries should be independent, and mutual cooperation and various forms of partnership should not be directed at third parties. Great powers have an important responsibility for maintaining world and regional peace. Big countries should respect small countries, strong countries should support weak countries and rich countries should help poor countries.
