Cold War mentality would endanger world's peace, says China's top leader

President Xi Jinping proposed a Global Security Initiative on Thursday, calling on the international community to reject a Cold War mentality, oppose unilateralism and say no to group politics and bloc confrontation.

In a speech delivered via video link at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2022, Xi stressed the importance of upholding a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, and adhering to non-interference in internal affairs.

It has been proven time and again that the Cold War mentality would only wreck the global peace framework, that hegemonism and power politics would only endanger world peace, and that bloc confrontation would only exacerbate security challenges in the 21st century, he told an audience of world leaders and business executives.

The forum this year brought together leaders including Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund.

In explaining the Global Security Initiative, the president said the legitimate security concerns of all countries must be taken seriously, and a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture should be built.

He stressed the need to oppose the pursuit of one's own security at the cost of others' security, resolve differences and disputes between countries peacefully through dialogue and consultation, and support all efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of crises.

It is important to reject double standards, oppose the wanton use of unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction, and maintain security in both traditional and non-traditional domains, he said, adding that the international community should work together on regional disputes and global challenges such as terrorism, climate change, cybersecurity and biosecurity.

The initiative came on the heels of the Global Development Initiative, proposed by Xi at a United Nations event in September, to advance sustained global growth, economic recovery and narrow gaps between different nations.

Xi mentioned challenges including the once-in-a-century pandemic, the emergence of new traditional security risks, the weak and faltering global economic recovery, and a widening development gap in his speech on Thursday.

Faced with the many challenges, we must not lose confidence, hesitate or flinch. Instead, we must firm up confidence and press ahead against all odds, Xi said.

He stressed the significance of working together to defend people's lives and health, saying that countries must support each other, better coordinate their response measures and improve global public health governance.

In promoting economic recovery, Xi underlined the need for greater macro policy coordination and to turn to science and technology for more growth drivers, keep global industrial and supply chains stable, and prevent serious negative spillovers from policy adjustments in some countries.

The international community has evolved so much that it has become a sophisticated and integrated apparatus, he said, adding that acts to remove any single part will cause serious problems to its operation.

The president expressed his disapproval of unilateralism, the excessive pursuit of self-interest, the practices of decoupling, supply disruption and maximum pressure and attempts to forge small circles or to stoke conflict and confrontation along ideological lines, stating that such acts are doomed to fail.

It is particularly important for major countries to lead by example in honoring equality, cooperation, good faith and the rule of law, and act in a way befitting their status, he said.

Xi called for efforts to strengthen the growth and development of Asia, saying that Asian nations should resolutely safeguard peace in the region, vigorously advance cooperation and jointly promote unity.

He underscored that the fundamentals of the Chinese economy — its strong resilience, enormous potential, vast room for maneuver and long-term sustainability — remain unchanged, and the nation's faith in and commitment to reform and opening-up will not waver.

Georgieva, the managing director of IMF, said in a prerecorded speech that China's actions to counter its slowdown and achieve its growth target are vital to global recovery.

But the solutions for the global economy go beyond any one country. Countering the far-reaching damage of these back-to-back crises, and the risks we face in a more shock prone world, requires stronger international cooperation, she said.

习近平在博鳌亚洲论坛2022年年会开幕式上发表主旨演讲

博鳌亚洲论坛2022年年会开幕式21日上午在海南博鳌举行,国家主席习近平以视频方式发表题为《携手迎接挑战,合作开创未来》的主旨演讲。

习近平指出,当下,世界之变、时代之变、历史之变正以前所未有的方式展开,给人类提出了必须严肃对待的挑战。人类历史告诉我们,越是困难时刻,越要坚定信心。任何艰难曲折都不能阻挡历史前进的车轮。面对重重挑战,我们决不能丧失信心、犹疑退缩,而是要坚定信心、激流勇进。

习近平强调,冲出迷雾走向光明,最强大的力量是同心合力,最有效的方法是和衷共济。过去两年多来,国际社会为应对新冠肺炎疫情挑战、推动世界经济复苏发展作出了艰苦努力。困难和挑战进一步告诉我们,人类是休戚与共的命运共同体,各国要顺应和平、发展、合作、共赢的时代潮流,向着构建人类命运共同体的正确方向,携手迎接挑战、合作开创未来。

——我们要共同守护人类生命健康。人类彻底战胜新冠肺炎疫情还需付出艰苦努力。各国要相互支持,加强防疫措施协调,完善全球公共卫生治理,形成应对疫情的强大国际合力。要坚持疫苗作为全球公共产品的属性,确保疫苗在发展中国家的可及性和可负担性。中国已经向120多个国家和国际组织提供超过21亿剂疫苗,将继续向非洲、东盟分别援助6亿剂、1.5亿剂疫苗,为弥合“免疫鸿沟”作出积极努力。

——我们要共同促进经济复苏。要坚持建设开放型世界经济,加强宏观政策协调,维护全球产业链供应链稳定,促进全球平衡、协调、包容发展。要坚持以人民为中心,把促进发展、保障民生置于突出位置,围绕减贫、粮食安全、发展筹资、工业化等重点领域推进务实合作,着力解决发展不平衡不充分问题,稳步推进全球发展倡议落地落实。

——我们要共同维护世界和平安宁。冷战思维只会破坏全球和平框架,霸权主义和强权政治只会危害世界和平,集团对抗只会加剧21世纪安全挑战。中方愿提出全球安全倡议:坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观,共同维护世界和平和安全;坚持尊重各国主权、领土完整,不干涉别国内政,尊重各国人民自主选择的发展道路和社会制度;坚持遵守联合国宪章宗旨和原则,摒弃冷战思维,反对单边主义,不搞集团政治和阵营对抗;坚持重视各国合理安全关切,秉持安全不可分割原则,构建均衡、有效、可持续的安全架构,反对把本国安全建立在他国不安全的基础之上;坚持通过对话协商以和平方式解决国家间的分歧和争端,支持一切有利于和平解决危机的努力,不能搞双重标准,反对滥用单边制裁和“长臂管辖”;坚持统筹维护传统领域和非传统领域安全,共同应对地区争端和恐怖主义、气候变化、网络安全、生物安全等全球性问题。

——我们要共同应对全球治理挑战。世界各国乘坐在一条命运与共的大船上,要穿越惊涛骇浪、驶向光明未来,必须同舟共济,企图把谁扔下大海都是不可接受的。国际社会发展到今天已经成为一部复杂精巧、有机一体的机器,拆掉一个零部件就会使整个机器运转面临严重困难,被拆的人会受损,拆的人也会受损。要践行共商共建共享的全球治理观,弘扬全人类共同价值,倡导不同文明交流互鉴。要坚持真正的多边主义,坚定维护以联合国为核心的国际体系和以国际法为基础的国际秩序。大国尤其要作出表率,带头讲平等、讲合作、讲诚信、讲法治,展现大国的样子。

习近平强调,过去几十年,亚洲地区总体保持稳定,经济持续快速增长,成就了“亚洲奇迹”。亚洲好世界才能更好。我们要继续把亚洲发展好、建设好,展现亚洲的韧性、智慧、力量,打造世界的和平稳定锚、增长动力源、合作新高地。

第一,坚定维护亚洲和平。今天,亚洲首倡的和平共处五项原则和“万隆精神”更加具有现实意义。要秉持相互尊重、平等互利、和平共处等原则,奉行睦邻友好政策,把命运牢牢掌握在自己手中。

第二,积极推动亚洲合作。《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》正式生效,中老铁路建成通车,有效提升了地区硬联通、软联通水平。要以此为契机,推动亚洲形成更加开放的大市场,促进亚洲共赢合作迈出新步伐。

第三,共同促进亚洲团结。要巩固东盟在地区架构中的中心地位,维护兼顾各方诉求、包容各方利益的区域秩序。国家无论大小强弱,无论域内域外,都应该为亚洲添彩而不添乱,都要共走和平发展大道,共谋合作共赢大计,共创团结进步的亚洲大家庭。

习近平指出,中国经济韧性强、潜力足、回旋余地广、长期向好的基本面不会改变,将为世界经济企稳复苏提供强大动能,为各国提供更广阔的市场机会。中国将全面贯彻新发展理念,加快构建新发展格局,着力推动高质量发展。不论世界发生什么样的变化,中国改革开放的信心和意志都不会动摇。中国将始终不渝坚持走和平发展道路,始终做世界和平的建设者、全球发展的贡献者、国际秩序的维护者。

习近平最后说,日日行,不怕千万里;常常做,不怕千万事。只要我们携手同心、行而不辍,就一定能汇聚起合作共赢的伟力,战胜前进道路上的各种挑战,迎来人类更加光明美好的未来。
