An Analysis of and Reflection on China's Security Environment in the First 2 Decades of the Century
China's security environment witnessed a big change in the first decade of the 21st century.There is little possibility for China to be invaded or get involved in a world war,but the possibility of its involvement in a local war has increased.China's land security can be guaranteed,but its marine security has been a serious problem;its conventional security remains basically unchanged,but its non-conventional security problems have increased.In the next ten years,the Taiwan issue、the East China Sea issue、South China Sea disputes、the boundary problem between China and India may make China encounter more troubles.The tension between China and the major countries in this area would intensify.In particular,the conflict between China and America would be the single most serious security threat to China.In response,China should continue to develop its economy,improve its comprehensive strength and national defense and its security cooperation with its neighboring countries and regions,and to enhance its soft power and the ability to deal with non-conventional security issues.
