2. The surrounding security environment is an important part of the international environment facing China, and it is also the most direct and important factor that affects the national security and development of China. China is located in the east of Asia, bordering 15 neighboring countries and facing 8 countries across the sea. It is located in the center of the Asia-Pacific region, and its special geographical location has long made the surrounding environment complicated. China's geographical environment can be described as congenital deficiency, which is difficult to make up for and can also be plastic. China has the second longest border in the world, with a land border of 22,000 kilometers and a coastline of1.8000 kilometers. There are many neighboring countries and many strong neighbors, so there are naturally bad differences on the territorial sea issue. 2. The threats to China's security environment mainly come from "three directions and two key areas".
Three directions: Northeast Asia, Central Asia and the ocean, which are closely related and cross each other.
1 Northeast Asia: There are two main problems that affect my security environment, one is the Korean Peninsula issue, and the other is the Japanese issue.
If the position and role of the Korean Peninsula in the security around me is second only to that of the Taiwan Province Strait, then Japan's threat to our national security is second only to that of the United States.
Direction of Central Asia: As far as China's security is concerned, the security risks in the direction of Central Asia mainly come from two aspects: one is the threat of "three evil forces"; The second is the future political trend of the five Central Asian countries. In particular, the United States and western forces are actively intervening in the affairs of Central Asian countries in an attempt to launch a series of so-called "color revolutions" and vigorously support the pro-Western opposition there to seize power through "legal procedures" elections, which puts the CIS in danger of disintegration and greatly weakens Russia's leading position and core role in this region. The geopolitical pattern of Eurasia is undergoing major changes in favor of the West. This is undoubtedly a new round of great impact on the Shanghai Cooperation Organization headed by China and Russia, especially on the western security environment of China. It deserves our high attention and vigilance.
Ocean direction: US-South Korea, US-Japan military exercises pose a great threat to China's territorial security, and at the same time show off its military, which is a serious provocation to China and North Korea. As for the South China Sea issue, at present, most of the islands in the South China Sea are divided and occupied by neighboring countries. China originally worked hard for the long-term stability and mutually beneficial cooperation of the South China Sea issue, but at present, it still needs long and arduous negotiations to achieve a fair and reasonable solution to these issues.
5 Two key areas: Taiwan Province Strait. In recent years, the political ecology on the island of Taiwan Province Province continues to deteriorate, which greatly increases the possibility of Taiwan independence forces taking risks and creating major events in Taiwan independence. After Song Lian's visit to the mainland, although there are some signs of relaxation in cross-strait relations, the overall grim situation has not changed. The problem of Taiwan Province Province is still in a high-risk period of serious conflict. Recently, the momentum of the joint intervention of the United States and Japan in Taiwan Province Province has been obviously strengthened, which is a historic and significant test of my strategic will, determination and strategic ability to "control independence and stop independence". Diaoyu Island. The historical legacy and current problems of Diaoyu Island are also the reasons for the continuous tension between China and Japan.
6. The basic judgment of China's security complexity: overall stability, local severity, complex security issues and increased risks: First, the United States has become the most important factor affecting the surrounding security environment; Second, there are realistic and potential security threats to China's surrounding environment; Third, the threat of other countries in the surrounding environment to China; Fourth, India's invasion and threat to our territory; Fifth, the real threat of terrorism.
