Basic Strategies for China's Deep Participation in the Global Governance System

Liu Jianfei

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has co-ordinated the overall situation at home and abroad, actively created an external environment for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and vigorously promoted China's deep participation in the global governance system. Regard it as one of the important ways to promote the diplomacy of great powers with Chinese characteristics. In the report of the 19th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "China will continue to play its role as a responsible power, actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, and continue to contribute China's wisdom and strength." To promote China's deep participation in the global governance system, we need to recognize the opportunities and challenges facing China's participation in global governance, especially the challenges, and focus on the challenges.

I. Scientific assessment of the opportunities and challenges of China's participation in the global governance system

II. Actively contributing to China's Wisdom and strength in promoting Global Governance

III. Co-ordinating a number of important relationships

From the perspective of deep participation in the global governance system, China needs to vigorously strengthen social construction in national governance, especially the construction of social organizations or non-governmental organizations. International non-governmental organizations or global civil society organizations are important subjects of global governance and these international organizations are based on non-governmental organizations within sovereign States. China's social organizations are not developed enough, so that China lacks a force to participate in global governance, and there are insurmountable obstacles for government departments to communicate and cooperate with foreign non-governmental organizations. The report of the 18th CPC National Congress proposed to "speed up the formation of a modern social organization system with separation of government and society, clear powers and responsibilities, and autonomy in accordance with the law." In this way, it is not only conducive to strengthening China's social construction and promoting the modernization of national governance, but also conducive to China's deep participation in the global governance system.

Practice and Experience of Green Development in China

Li Changjiu

Desertification almost expands with human activities from Africa to the whole world. China is the country with the largest area of desertification. In the nearly 70 years since the founding of the people's Republic of China, especially in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, it has achieved great progress. China will not only build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist country by the middle of the 21st century, but also make greater contributions to jointly building a clean, beautiful and prosperous world.

Desertification is called the "cancer" of the earth. Desertification refers to land degradation in arid, semi-arid and sub-humid arid areas caused by various factors, including climate anomalies and human activities. Desertification refers to the land degradation which is mainly marked by sand (gravel) material in the surface formed by various factors under various climatic conditions.

The practice and experience of afforestation and desert sand control in China are as follows: government-led, enterprise investment and scientific research personnel and public participation.

Government leading

After continuous exploration, China has formed a perfect normative system led by the government, and established a cross-domain and multi-sector division of labor and cooperation mechanism. The State Council directly arranges the work of preventing and controlling desertification, holds a national conference on desert prevention and control from time to time, and sets up a senior expert advisory group of Chinese experts on combating desertification, which is composed of 16 academicians, experts and scholars in relevant fields, in order to raise major decision-making and scientific prevention and control to the highest level.

Enterprise investment

The market plays a decisive role in the allocation of resources, mainly to give full play to the role of enterprise investment, production and management. Inner Mongolia Autonomous region is the largest and most harmful area of desertification in China. Enterprise investment, production and management have played an important role in afforestation, sand prevention and control and desert construction.

Public participation

Disasters such as climate change have no national boundaries and it is difficult for all countries to be immune from them. China actively participates in and promotes the global response to climate change and other environmental issues. China's plan and experience of strengthening the construction of ecological civilization and speeding up green development have attracted worldwide attention and received extensive support and reference.

To Promote the Equalization of Basic Public Services with Multiple Supplies

Yang Yiyong / Cai Xiaobin

On January 23, 2017, the State Council issued The 13th Five-year Plan for Promoting the Equalization of Basic Public Services, pointing out that promoting the equalization of basic public services is the due meaning of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Chinese Dream, which means to promote social fairness and justice, to enhance the well-being of the people and the sense of achievement of all the people in joint construction and shared development, and to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, is of great significance. In order to achieve the goal of equalization of basic public services, the Plan further points out the need to establish a pluralistic supply mechanism. The equalization of basic public services can be promoted by actively guiding the participation of social forces, promoting the purchase of services by the government and promoting the public and private cooperation (PPP model). The Plan only expounds the supply of diversified public services at the macro level, but does not give a detailed plan on how to effectively promote the construction of diversified supply mechanism at the practical level.

I. The necessity of pluralistic supply of public services

II. The theoretical basis of pluralistic supply of public service

III. Strong state-weak society: the realistic situation of the current state and social relations in China

IV. Problems in the supply of basic public services from the perspective of strong state and weak society

V. Recovering the society: the construction of the pluralistic supply system of basic public services

VI. The path of constructing the pluralistic supply system of basic public services

If we formulate the system only in the documents, but do not try to form the system in the minds of the people, the system will not be able to play its due role. We must not only promote the construction of diversified basic public service supply system in the material sense, but also promote it in the conceptual sense. In terms of the current official discourse, we should not only create the system, but also guide people's perception and expectation of the system. Only when people internalize the relevant system into their hearts and regard it as an important constraint of normative behavior, can the system really work. In the concrete practice, in promoting the construction of the elements of the diversified supply system of basic public services, we can start from two aspects: one is to make the new multi-supply system of basic public services deeply rooted in the hearts of the people by strengthening the ideological construction and strengthen the propaganda; the other is to strengthen the construction of incentive mechanism, through the means of rewards and punishments to guide and standardize the behavior of social actors, so that their behavior to the expected direction.

A Survey of the Current Triangular Relations Between the United States, China and Russia

Yu Sui

Many new changes are taking place in the world situation today, all of which are related to the triangular relations between the United States, China and Russia. The primary factor contributing to this change is that the Trump administration has gone too far.

First of all, let's talk about US relations with China. The fact that the US side has provoked a trade war is far from "tariff success" as boasted by the US Government. There is a flood of international comments, and we had better listen to opinions of all sides.

The United States should understand a popular truth: China has no intention of changing the United States, nor does it want to replace the United States; the United States cannot control China, let alone stop its development. A prosperous China is good for the United States, and a prosperous United States is also good for China. The strengthening of cooperation between the two major economies of China and the United States is not only related to China and the United States, but also to the needs of the international community and what the people of the world look forward to.

Let's then talk about US relations with Russia. Subtly, Trump wants to be close to Putin while constantly sanctioning Russia. The maturity and stability of Sino-Russian relations make the United States jealous and worried, but in fact it is superfluous. The United States has "punched people with two fists" against China and Russia, which is a sign of lack of reason, and as a result, Sino-Russian relations have become closer.

The world situation is changing, and uncertainty is the norm, but peaceful development is the mainstream of the times after all, and win-win cooperation has become a global consensus. President Xi Jinping delivered a message of condolences to former UN Secretary-General Annan on the death of UN Secretary-General Guterres on 20 August, emphasizing that under the current situation of increasing instability and uncertainties in the world, the multilateralism actively advocated by Mr. Annan is of special practical significance. This remark is very meaningful. The world is so complicated that it is not all about doing business, and fighting and killing is by no means the way of global governance. "No pains, no gains", this old Chinese saying should apply to the Trump administration.

To Analyze Sino-US Relations in the Perspective of Marxism-Leninism

Ding Yuanhong

Recently, as a result of the trade war launched by the US Government against China, Sino-US relations have become tense, and domestic academic circles have discussed the current situation and future of Sino-US relations. The author believes that looking back on the past is helpful to see the present and look forward to the future. More importantly, only by using the Marxist-Leninist standpoint and method to clearly understand the nature of the US policy toward China can we not be confused by superficial phenomena.

China is the largest socialist developing country in the world, while the United States is the largest capitalist developed country in the world. The contradictions and differences between China and the United States lie not only in their national strength and international status, but also in the fundamental differences in the social systems between China and the United States. Nearly 70 years since the founding of the Socialist New China in 1949, the history of Sino-US relations is essentially the largest capitalist country-the United States is trying to strangle, subvert, contain, and evolve the new socialist regime in China.

Marxism-Leninism has long predicted that the development of the capitalist system to the imperialist stage is decadent, declining and dying. Even the US media publicly admitted after the 19th CPC National Congress that China's socialism has a strong attraction, and "China's socialist development is a completely different model from that of the West". Time, justice and the truth are all on our side. In the face of the great changes that have occurred in the world in a century, mainly as a result of the major problems in Western capitalism, all the Chinese people should closely unite around the Party Central Committee, follow the unified command of the Party Central Committee with Xi Jinping as the core, and eliminate all kinds of interference. We will confidently meet various challenges and threats from American hegemonism, continue to push forward the cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, and win new great victories.

The road is tortuous but the future is bright.

The Roots and Prospects of the Overall Confrontation between Iran and Israel

Tian Wenlin

Iran and Israel are both Middle Eastern powers, but relations between the two countries are deteriorating. In particular, since 2018, the two sides have been fighting on the battlefield in Syria and at risk of an all-out war. Why are relations between Iraq and Israel so tense? What are the prospects for the future? These problems are worth discussing.

I. Development track: relations between Iran and Israel are deteriorating day by day.

In the relations between countries in the Middle East, those between Iran and Israel are the most complex and contradictory. From a historical point of view, Iran and Israel have not always been hostile, and bilateral relations have experienced a process of continuous deterioration. In the author's opinion, the relationship between Iraq and Israel has gone through three stages: the period of close cooperation, the long-term relationship and the period of fierce confrontation.

II. Root causes of escalating conflicts between Iran and Israel

Iran and Israel are not born rivals, but there are many reasons for the growing contradiction in reality.

III. Prospects

Tensions between Iran and Israel will continue to heat up in the foreseeable future. "Anti-Israel" is an important source of legitimacy of the Islamic regime in Iran. As long as the Islamic regime continues to exist, Iran's anti-Israeli policy will not change. At the same time, Iraq and Israel lack common enemies and common interests, so there are no external factors to improve relations.

However, so far, the contradiction between Iraq and Israel is far from the extent of the outbreak of a full-scale war.

As a result, Iran's confrontation with Israel will be "fierce and moderate" in the foreseeable future. It should be pointed out that both Israel and Iran are influential regional powers in the Middle East, and the continued confrontation between the two countries will further complicated the already volatile situation in the Middle East, and the originally fragmented pattern of the Middle East will form a "new cold war" situation of confrontation with each other. It will be harder for the Middle East to get out of the quagmire of war and conflict.

The Infiltration of "Islamic State" in Sub-Saharan Africa and Analysis of Its Influencing Factors

Liu Zhongmin / Zhao Yuechen

In June 2014, with the declaration of "statehood" by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria quickly became the representative of a new type of international terrorism. The Islamic State, which has the characteristics of materialization and quasi-nationalization, has replaced al-Qaida as the core of international terrorism, and has become the main initiator of large-scale terrorist attacks and the communicator of extremism and terrorist ideology. And the allegiance of terrorist extremist groups around the world. One of its important manifestations is the proliferation and infiltration of the Islamic State on a global scale, and a number of extremist groups loyal to the Islamic State have emerged in West Asia, Africa, Central Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia.

I. The infiltration of Islamic State in sub-Saharan Africa and its impact

II. Favorable factors for the expansion of Islamic State in sub-Saharan Africa

III. Constraints on the expansion of Islamic State in Sub-Saharan Africa

IV. Conclusion

First, judging from the reasons for the infiltration of the Islamic State in sub-Saharan Africa, it is not a single security issue; behind it are the deep-seated problems in the economic, political and social development of sub-Saharan Africa. It is the comprehensive embodiment of the "stubborn disease" of sub-Saharan Africa itself.

Second, the growing spread of the Islamic State to sub-Saharan Africa has inevitably dispersed the monopoly of terrorist forces in Africa by al-Qaida. It poses a challenge to the traditional authority of Al-Qaida in sub-Saharan Africa.

Thirdly, with the infiltration and expansion of Islamic State in Africa in recent years, terrorist and extremist forces in sub-Saharan Africa have begun to regroup.

Fourth, with the demise of Islamic State entities in the Middle East by international counter-terrorism forces, its influence in sub-Saharan Africa has declined.

Observations on the Social Mentality and Social Phenomena of the People in Taiwan At Present

Wang Jianmin

After the DPP came back to power, it did not bring new atmosphere and positive energy to the development of relations between Taiwan and the two sides of the strait. On the contrary, because of the wrong route, arbitrary work, and chaotic administration, the DPP caused new political antagonism, social distress, and deadlock between the two sides of the strait. Under this background, there are some new situations, new phenomena, and new changes in the mentality and social public opinion of the people on the island, which are worthy of attention and observation. It is more necessary to look at and evaluate with caution: is this a temporary social phenomenon or a long-term trend? What kind of social and political impact will be produced in the future? We need to observe for a long time before make judgement.
