Improving the Chinese Approach
and Implementing the Two Global Initiatives
Tao Jian*
The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China states that “China has put forward the Global Development Initiative (GDI) and the Global Security Initiative (GSI), and it stands ready to work with the international community to put these two initiatives into action.”
Development is an eternal theme of human society and the cornerstone for people of all countries to live a better life. The GDI, together with China’s efforts to advance the construction of a global partnership and community of development, has become the Chinese solution to the long-standing challenges in global and regional development. The GSI, on the other hand, has contributed the Chinese approach to addressing international and regional security challenges through its answer to the two important questions of our era: What kind of security concept does the world need and how can countries achieve common security?
Sustained prosperity and guaranteed security represent precisely the goals of the two global initiatives and the value of the Chinese Approach. The two global initiatives focus on finding the largest common divisor for building a global community of development and security, and take alleviating and eliminating the global peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit and governance deficit as the entry point, and safeguarding human peace and common interests as the end result. As the strategic measures proposed by China to promote the establishment of a world of lasting peace, universal security, and common prosperity, and to achieve a community with a shared future for mankind, the twin initiatives have become not only an important component of China’s major country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, but also the symbol of the Chinese Approach, encapsulating Chinese wisdom and sentiments.
Implementation of the two global initiatives would not be possible without learning and understanding in depth the holistic concept of national security, since the initiatives are the reflection and application of the core principles and concepts of the holistic concept of national security at the global level, in the context of unprecedented changes in a century. The essence of “coordinated development and security”, when projected onto the reality, is the pursuit of high-quality development and high-level security at the international level.
And improvement of the Chinese Approach would not be achieved without the buttress of first-class international security research. From advancing the construction of an open world economy to better benefit people of all countries, to deepening and expanding global partnerships of equality, openness, and cooperation; from practicing the global governance concept of joint consultation, construction, and sharing, to participating in improving the global security governance mechanism; from safeguarding the new development paradigm through a new pattern for security, to devising effective measures in response to some country’s practice of building walls and barriers, decoupling and breaking chains, imposing unilateral sanctions, and exerting extreme pressure, in every step, we need the support of research in relevant disciplines and the advice from the academia.
In 2023, the International Security Studies will build on the fruits of studies on the holistic concept of national security in recent years. Guided by the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC, we will continue to stress important topics and give priority to theoretical exploration, strategic and tactical research on major international security issues, including the two global initiatives. It is our hope that the carefully chosen and edited papers published in this journal will present more insights that shine with wisdom.
