International status is the embodiment of a country's comprehensive strength, including economic, political, military and scientific development, which directly reflects a country's comprehensive development level. 2008 is the year when China's international status rose and its international influence expanded fastest since the Opium War. With the outbreak of the financial crisis, the international situation is undergoing important changes, and China's international status is also undergoing tremendous changes. Moreover, there are many discussions about the change of China's international status. How to look at the new changes in China's international status, I think it can be understood mainly from the following aspects: First, 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. Second, 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. Third, 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 Iraq war launched by the United States, its secret prisons and mistreatment of prisoners of war have greatly reduced the image of the United States as a standard-bearer of "democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law" and greatly reduced its international status and reputation. The financial crisis made its reputation as a free market economy model decline, and it had to be adjusted. In addition, the strength and international status of countries such as Russia have also continued to decline. Although India, Brazil and other emerging powers are developing slowly, their strength and international status are always behind China. Fourthly, 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 affirmed and recognized worldwide. At present, the international situation is in a period of peaceful transition, which has both opportunities and challenges for China. We should fully understand this. First of all, we should solve our own internal problems, such as unbalanced internal development, lagging system construction, ecological and resource problems. We should coordinate the two overall situations at home and abroad and handle the two relations well. With the improvement of world status, it should play a greater role in international affairs and reflect its status as a big country. The improvement of China's international status is a good thing. China's peaceful rise will make greater contributions to world development.
