Theory of international political system
For the concept of "international political system", western scholars think it is a kind of "behavior system", a set of variables that are interrelated and different from the environment [2], or a set of independent political entities that interact frequently with each other in a regular process [3]. However, domestic scholars generally believe that the international system is "all kinds of actors in the international community (including state actors and non-state actors)."

Body) in accordance with certain rules, through regular interaction and interconnection and the unity of various relationships "[4]. Even so, scholars have at least reached an understanding that the international system is a concept that describes the overall situation of international politics, and it emphasizes the inseparable connection and integrity among international political actors. As an open dynamic system, the international political system has the appearance of overall movement, which occurs continuously and irreversibly along the time coordinate. Behind the appearance is essentially an evolutionary order and law. The international political system has gone through a complicated evolution and change stage, that is, from Westphalia system, Vienna system (metternich system), Bismarck system to Versailles system, Yalta system and post-cold war international system, and it has gone through a long historical process through nonlinear interaction and self-organization adaptation within and among international systems. In the evolution of the international political system, complexity is its essential feature, and dynamics, nonlinearity, self-organization and emergence are its basic features.
