China Youth Daily Client News (China Youth Daily·China Youth Daily reporter Ma Ziqian) “When future historians describe our era, they will definitely say that the most important event that changed the course of history was China’s brave leap into The ocean of globalization." Kishore Mahbubani, a distinguished researcher at the Institute of Asia Studies at the National University of Singapore, wrote in recommending the book "China and Globalization in the 21st Century." "China and Globalization in the 21st Century" was written by Wang Huiyao, Chairman of the Globalization Think Tank (CCG), and Dr. Miao Lu, Secretary General, and was recently published by CITIC Publishing Group.
At a time when a century of changes has been compounded by a century of pandemic, the haze of war has enveloped the world, and mankind has entered a new "Bretton Woods moment." Where will globalization go from here? How to prevent imbalances in the world structure from triggering conflicts between countries or regions? How to better make globalization serve human development? As the world's second largest economy, what role should China play in it? These are the questions that "China and Globalization in the 21st Century" attempts to answer.
Former Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan once said: "Few people, groups or governments oppose globalization itself. What they oppose is the disparity caused by globalization." One of the core points of this book is, The development of globalization is a historical process, which is destined that its development will not be linear, but will sometimes advance, sometimes wander, or even go backwards.
Over the past few decades, globalization has promoted global economic growth and has unprecedentedly intertwined the interests of different countries. Countries have formed deeper interdependence and more common interests in this interconnected network. Although globalization has now encountered setbacks, with the development speed slowing down and the development framework changing, the general trend of globalization will not change and the era of globalization will not end. After self-repair and adjustment, globalization will return to the right track again.
In the view of Zheng Yongnian, professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) and dean of the Qianhai Institute of International Affairs, "China has evolved from a relatively isolated economy before reform and opening up to the de facto second largest economy today. This The process was realized during China's globalization process. "China is widely regarded as "one of the biggest beneficiaries of globalization" and is one of the important backgrounds for the writing of this book.
Based on the combing of the changes and theoretical development of globalization, the summary of the characteristics of globalization in the post-epidemic era, and the review of China's integration into globalization, "China and Globalization in the 21st Century" should become a "globalization" from China From the perspective of "returner", China proposes three pillars and seven paths for promoting the development of globalization. The three pillars proposed by
"China and Globalization in the 21st Century" are: humanistic globalization, open regionalism, and global coexistence and co-governance. The seven major paths are: first, using "humanistic globalization" as the entry point to gather the power of overseas Chinese and international students around the world to communicate with the world and build consensus; second, promote the establishment of the Asian Alliance on the basis of the "Chopsticks Cultural Circle" , by promoting new arrangements for regional and higher-standard integration , driving integrated cooperation in other regions, and ultimately realizing a new type of globalization; third, using the "One Belt and One Road" to consolidate the Eurasian foundation of the new globalization , by promoting the multilateral development of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, filling in the "depressions" of development between the East and the West, and achieving a rebalancing of globalization; fourth, strengthening cooperation and innovation with developing countries, and promoting globalization in a more inclusive and equitable direction development; fifth, strengthen cooperation with European countries in the fields of climate change, digital economy , and achieve an effective balance in the triangular relationship between China, the United States, and Europe; sixth, build a "new major power G2 relationship" with the United States and stand on the global The two major powers should take great responsibility and rely on the world's 7.5 billion people to strengthen cooperation in climate change, infrastructure, digital economy and other fields to avoid falling into the "Thucydides Trap"; seventh, actively innovate in global governance system and proactively share global governance responsibilities.
He Yafei, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and former Deputy Director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, commented on "keeping up with the trend of the times" after reading this book.He Yafei said that globalization will be reborn and enter the Globalization 2.0 stage, and the global governance system will also be reborn, creating new structures and rules. The new world needs new ideas, new concepts, and new plans. China unswervingly supports new globalization and the reshaping of the global governance system, and is determined and confident to make its due contribution as a major country to the upgrading of globalization.
Lin Yifu, dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University, believes that the book "China and Globalization in the 21st Century" proposes a feasible plan for promoting a new type of globalization in the face of major changes unseen in a century and in the post-epidemic era. It is worthy of reference by people from all walks of life who are concerned about the future prospects of China and the world.
