As far as the world is concerned, what has changed is the pattern, order and system; As far as China is concerned, what has changed is strength, status and influence. As far as the focus of a hundred years is concerned, researchers hold a variety of views. It refers to the comparison between the changes in the last century and the changes in the century. Reviewing the past and learning the new, this time interval also includes the changes in the new Millennium.
The big situation that the world is experiencing, the world development pattern, order and system are changing, and the strength, international status and world influence of eastern and western countries are changing; It also refers to the big situation facing China. China's national strength is the second largest economy in the world, and it is developing to the first economy in the world. Its national economic strength, military strength and world influence have really increased.
According to the current development of the world and China itself, the important judgments made by the top leaders of the country are of great guiding significance for understanding and judging the international situation in the new period, making clear the development direction of China, making relevant task plans, and making decisions at home and abroad in China, and are also China's thoughts on the common development of the world.
The performance of the once-in-a-century great change.
The first is the shift of political focus. A hundred years ago, the western countries headed by the United States were always at the center of global politics, holding the leading position in global political life and influencing the development direction and path of global politics. Today, a hundred years later, the political center of gravity began to "rise in the east and fall in the west", and the voice of the East, especially developing countries, in global political life was greatly enhanced.
The second is the evolution of economic strength. Since modern times, western countries, especially the United States, have been in a strong economic position, leading the global economic development. Today, a hundred years later, according to the statistics of relevant institutions in 20 19, Asia accounts for more than 34% of global GDP and contributes as much as 63% to global economic growth.
Third, cultural development is diversified. For more than 100 years, the culture and values of the West, especially the United States, have permeated all countries in the world and become the spiritual food and value pursuit of many countries. A century later, the pluralistic development of global culture and the pluralistic progress of civilization have become an irreversible trend.
The fourth is the adjustment of the governance system. In the course of a century, the global governance system dominated by one or several powerful countries has been broken. Unilateral governance system and powerful governance system have been replaced by multipolar dialogue and the participation of the state and non-governmental organizations.
