Wu Xiaodan, special researcher of the Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy Research Center
published a lengthy 2911-word article in the Guangming Daily (June 20) captioned 'Global Security Initiative: China's solution to cracking the security deficit'. It was an explanation of
the Global Security Initiative. It called 'The global security initiative is another important
international public product provided by China, and it is a vivid practice of the concept of a
community with a shared future for mankind in the field of security'. In implicit criticism of
the US, it said 'Global security issues have become prominent and generalized. Great power
games and group confrontations are escalating, threats from hegemonism and power politics
are on the rise, the interconnectedness, transnationality, and diversity of security issues are
becoming more prominent, new vulnerabilities, poverty belts, and sources of turbulence are
constantly emerging, and the international security risk factor is increasing. The world security
situation is more complicated. In pursuit of their own absolute security, some countries are
keen to form cliques and engage in exclusive "small circles" and "small groups", which
seriously threatens global security'. The article claimed: 'Facing a turbulent world, China has
always been the "ballast stone" of world peace. Since the founding of the People's Republic of
China, it has always adhered to the peaceful gene of the Chinese nation's civilization,
abandoned the traditional path of aggression and expansion by major powers, and adhered to
the path of peaceful development. We have never provoked any war, and we have never
invaded an inch of another country's land. Adhering to the settlement of disputes through
dialogue and negotiation, the land border issue has been completely settled through peaceful
means with 12 of the 14 neighbouring countries. We will continue to explore and practice
solutions to hot-spot issues with Chinese characteristics, and work with other countries to
address non-traditional security challenges such as terrorism, climate change, and
cybersecurity. Resolutely oppose hegemonism and power politics, uphold fairness and justice
in international affairs, and constantly enrich the connotation of the path of peaceful
development with our own practices, and strengthen the forces for maintaining world peace
and security.'
