The "14th Five-Year Plan" period is the first five years for my country to build a well-off society in an all-round way and achieve the first century-old goal. It will enter a new stage of development. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, foreign affairs should bear in mind the strategic overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in a century, coordinate the overall domestic and international situations, and do a good job in the two major issues of development and security. According to the deployment of the CPC Central Committee on the formulation of the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the 2035 long-term goals (hereinafter referred to as the "Recommendations") ", forge ahead, actively create a good external environment and make due contributions to the realization of the strategic goals of my country's economic and social development in the new era and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

1. the Basic Characteristics of the International Situation during the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan Period

The proposal points out that "the world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century". This is an important conclusion made by General Secretary Xi Jinping based on the new historical position of my country's development and looking at the general trend of world development. It scientifically points out the motivations, trends and laws of world development and changes. It is for us to accurately grasp the international environment in which the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is located. It is of great guiding significance to promote the construction of a modern and powerful socialist country in response to the changing international situation. At present and in the coming period, the global pandemic of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic is accelerating the evolution of the world's great changes, the international economic, scientific and technological, cultural, security, political and other patterns are undergoing profound adjustments, and the external environment for China's development will face more profound and complex changes.

(I) the accelerated development of world multipolarization, the differentiation and combination of international relations have become more complex. The global epidemic has shown a long-term trend, the deep-seated impact on countries continues to ferment, the international pattern is facing profound adjustment, and the balance of power is developing in a more balanced direction. Countries have stepped up their planning for their role in the post-epidemic world landscape, major-country relations have undergone a new round of adjustment and interaction, and changes in the international order have accelerated. At the same time, China is the first in the world to control the epidemic, the first to achieve a full resumption of production, all parties to China's expectations and borrowing. China adheres to the idea of world multipolarization, advocates the democratization of international relations, and upholds international fairness and justice, which is generally welcomed and positively appraised by the international community.

(II) the world economy has been hit hard, a new driving force for development is taking shape. The epidemic has had a huge impact on international trade, investment, consumption and other economic activities, the world economy has fallen into a deep recession, and the prospects for recovery vary from country to country. The risks of the global financial and economic crisis have increased, and the challenges of energy security and food security have increased. Economic globalization has encountered countercurrents, protectionism has risen in some countries, global industrial chains and supply chains are facing shocks, and international macroeconomic policy coordination has become more difficult. At the same time, the accelerated development of new technologies and new industries will provide an important driving force for a new round of economic growth. The uncertainty of the external economic environment for my country's development is rising, but my country will still be the main source of power for the recovery of the world economy.

The (III) international system is facing new challenges, and the international community needs to strengthen cooperation. The epidemic is a challenge to global governance, unilateralism has severely impacted international mechanisms, and the global governance system needs to better adapt to the new situation and new requirements. International calls for changes in the global governance system are rising, and the game between multilateralism and unilateralism has become more complex and intense. At the same time, China firmly upholds the international system with the United Nations at its core, practices the concept of a community of human destiny, plays a leading role in international cooperation in the fight against epidemics, vigorously advocates the building of a community of human health and health, and further establishes its image as a responsible major country.

The number of (IV) international security risks has increased, and the political societies of all countries are facing new challenges. The epidemic has added new complications to international and regional hotspots. Non-traditional security threats such as biosafety, extreme weather, cyber attacks, and terrorism are on the rise, intertwined with traditional security hotspots such as arms control, and have become prominent factors affecting international peace and security. The internal governance dilemma of some countries is highlighted, the economic and social vulnerability is increasing, and the possibility of political and social unrest is increasing. At the same time, all parties do not want the international security situation to get out of control, and the overall stability is expected to be maintained. China is committed to promoting the implementation of a new concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and its role in maintaining world peace and stability has become more prominent.

(V) international trends of thought are surging and colliding, ideological factors are once again prominent. The epidemic has exacerbated social tearing, ethnic conflict and political antagonism in the countries concerned, and the rise of conservatism and populism. In order to divert domestic contradictions, some countries have wantonly "thrown off the pot" and pushed for blame, trying their best to play up ideological antagonism and cracking down on dissidents on the pretext of human rights, religion and other issues. At the same time, with the further development of social informatization and cultural diversity, it is more urgent to strengthen dialogue among civilizations and tolerance and mutual learning. The socialist system with Chinese characteristics has become more complete, the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities has continued to advance, and my country's international influence and appeal have continued to increase.

2. maintain and extend the important period of strategic opportunities for China's development

The "13th Five-Year Plan" period is the decisive stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, my country's foreign work is guided by Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and Xi Jinping's diplomatic thoughts, firmly grasping the service The main line of national rejuvenation and promoting peaceful development, overcoming difficulties, forging ahead, pioneering the promotion of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, and actively building a global partnership, promote the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" construction, actively participate in and lead the reform of the global governance system, firmly defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests, comprehensively enhance my country's international status and international influence, and create a benefit for achieving the first centenary goal External environment. Since 2020, foreign affairs have actively implemented the important concept of building a community of human destiny put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping, deepened international cooperation in the fight against epidemics, continued to promote all-round diplomacy, and contributed more Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions and Chinese strength to the international community, winning wide praise and support.

On the one hand, the world has entered a period of turbulence and change, unilateralism and hegemonism are prevailing, the Cold War mentality and power politics are still lingering, injustice and inequality in international relations are still prominent, and the deep-seated contradictions in global development have not been effectively resolved. On the other hand, peace and development remain the themes of the times, the trend and direction of the world's great changes have not changed as a result of the impact of the epidemic, the reform of the international system has continued to deepen in the face of difficult challenges, and multilateralism remains the mainstream of international relations. China has turned to the stage of high-quality development, and its continued development has many advantages and conditions, which has laid a more solid foundation for national rejuvenation and provided an important guarantee for us to lead the world's great changes and shape the external environment.

The complex changes in the international situation and the external environment have put forward new and higher requirements for China's foreign work. Entering the new stage of development, foreign work should dialectically understand and grasp the general trend at home and abroad, coordinate the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the great changes unseen in the world in a century, deeply understand the new contradictions and challenges brought about by the complex international environment, enhance the awareness of opportunities and risks, and be good at cultivating opportunities in crises and opening new situations in changes, Strive to create a good external environment and create more favorable conditions for China's economic and social development.
