China-Japan Security Relations and China's Countermeasures

Security relations are crucial in China-Japan relations.Since the "nationalization" of the Diaoyu Islands by Japan in 2012,mutual trust between China and Japan has been declining,and bilateral security relations have reached a low point.China-Japan security relations are typified by ongoing dispute over the Diaoyu Islands,lack of mutual trust exacerbated by various actions by Japan,and the delay of China-Japan security dialogues.The evolution of China-Japan security relations derived from the Diaoyu Islands dispute is clearly beyond the scope of the dispute itself,with deep-rooted internal and external factors.In the near future,China-Japan security relations will face more challenges than opportunities.China should take measures,including enhancing mutual trust in politics and security between the two countries,to impose necessary pressure on Japan to change course,to win over neighboring countries so as to avoid pretext for Japan's intervention in regional issues,and to strengthen interpersonal communication and understanding between people of the two countries in order to stabilize security relations.     

Constructive Development of Sino-U.S.Relations:Intrinsic Logic and Vision Constitution at Non-interest Level

International relations are interactions mainly between states and between international organizations. Since states and organizations are made up of people, these interactions are influenced by human nature. This is the same for Sino-U.S. relations as can be seen by recent developments which show the influences of human thinking and cultural values. The improvement seen in their relations has been cemented by a fostering of mutual understanding and commonality of cultural values. Positive development acquired during diplomatic interactions offer useful lessons for future cooperation. Relations between China and the U.S. can be further improved by learning from history, having a clearer perception and building mutual trust.     

中国与印度能源合作的政治经济分析

近年来，由于国内能源有限和经济的高速增长，中国与印度两国的能源供给越来越多地依靠国际市场。在国际能源领域，双方加强合作与协调攸关两国能源安全和经济发展全局。尽管存在着竞争，但双方互利合作是主要的发展趋势，中印各自的发展优势也为不断拓展两国能源合作提供了广阔的互补空间。     

Sino-U.S. Cooperation in North Korean Nuclear Issue

China and the United States have cooperated closely in resolving the second North Korean nuclear crisis.China and the United States have worked together with South Korea, Russia and Japan to prevent the North Korean nuclear issue from spiraling out of control, and they have also tried to make progress in the six-party talks. Despite differences over the issue, both sides are maintaining the momentum of cooperation with increasing mutual understanding and trust. The current U.S.-North Korea rapprochement has progressed quickly, adding a new factor in Sino-U.S. cooperation. Apart from bilateral contact with North Korea, the United States is insisting on a multilateral approach, continuing to persuade China to share responsibility for a nuclear-free Peninsula, and jointly advancing the process in the second phase set forth in the February 13 Agreement on Initial Actions. China's role,therefore, remains indispensable.     

Transforming Sino-U.S. Strategic Relations

Sino-U.S. strategic relations have undergone profound transformations over the past thirty years. It is increasingly urgent to change and transcend Sino-U.S. strategic relations. However, rapid adjustments and changes in world pattem prevent China and the U.S. from drawing a clear picture of each other＇s strategy. Vagueness in strategy awareness leads to difficult strategic adjustment, impacting virtuous interaction and stable development of Sino-U.S. strategic relations. The U.S., as relatively more important part in bilateral strategic relations, needs to take an initiative in substantial moves.     

Recent Sino-ASEAN Cooperation and Its Regional Impact

Since the year 2000, China and the ASEAN countries have promoted mutual trade and investment, strengthened political trust and increased cooperation in terms of economic aid, security, and cultural and educational exchanges. More and more people are realizing that China poses no threat to other countries. With China 's growing influence in ASEAN, the U.S., Japan, and other big powers have increased their strategic investment in Southeast Asia to try to maintain their long-standing strategic advantage in the region. At the same time, the ASEAN countries are trying to play off these big powers against each other to maximize their own advantage.Ma Yanbing is Research Professor of CICIR.

新时代中越关系:机遇与挑战

中国和越南是一衣带水的邻邦,又同是社会主义国家。随着两国关系的全面改善和发展,中越关系在22年里取得长足发展。双方政治关系发展到较高水平,经贸关系迅速发展,文化交往日益密切,外交上越南将中国列为最重要的邻国和交往对象,并致力于建设"面向21世纪的睦邻互信伙伴关系"。2013年10月,中国国务院总理李克强访问越南,推进了中越关系进一步发展。     

中美对朝政策竞争与合作的态势分析

中美两国在朝鲜问题上,既有着无核化与防扩散、维护地区稳定等方面的共同利益,也在朝鲜意识形态、无核化的方式等问题上存在着冲突性利益。利用SWOT模型比较中美两国的对朝政策,可以明晰两国的内部优、劣势和外部机遇与挑战。如果中美两国只注重自身优势与机遇,即中国强调和平稳定的重要性,美国强调无核化的迫切性,将增大两国政策的竞争性,不利于合作的展开。中美两国对朝政策竞争的根源在于崛起国与霸权国之间的结构性矛盾,中国意图维持地缘安全的缓冲区与经济发展的前沿地带,美国则希望以此牵制新兴大国。美国遏制地区大国的企图和对朝鲜安全关切的忽视是中美合作难以取得进展的主要原因。如果中美两国能够正视两国间的冲突性利益,降低获得对方支持的心理预期,将会有效防止地区局势和双边关系的波动。针对不稳定的朝鲜半岛局势,中美之间应加强安全对话,构建地区危机管理机制,避免因朝鲜半岛问题发生恶性竞争和诱发正面冲突。     

特朗普政府重构中美关系的抱负与局限

特朗普政府谋求从根本上重构中美关系,重置对华政策的前提与目标、框架与内涵、手段与方式,其所采取的一系列举措涉及面广、颠覆性强,严重削弱了中美战略互信,破坏了两国关系的重要基础,扭转了双边关系的发展方向,加剧了两国关系的紧张、摩擦与动荡,使两国走向对抗与冲突的风险显著上升。与此同时,特朗普政府重构中美关系的努力也受到多种因素制约,这使其实现对华政策目标的能力大打折扣。随着政治经济形势发展变化,美国对华政策还将出现新的调整,中美关系的发展仍然具有很大可塑性。对中国来说,以稳健的实力增长为支撑,以合理的利益交换为出发点,以适合时代潮流的对外政策为工具,致力于塑造良性竞争、互利共赢的中美关系,是当下和今后对美政策的基本思路。     

论中日"战略互惠"关系

"战略互惠"关系标志着中日关系进入全新定位的新时期,两国在更加宽阔的领域进行战略层面上的合作。由于两国在政治、经济等领域还存在不少分歧和问题,未来中日关系仍将充满不确定性。为使中日关系朝着构建"战略互惠"的方向发展,今后两国应该不断寻求共同利益,不断增加相互信任,在决定两国关系走向的重大问题上保持理性、冷静的态度。     

析中俄关系中的相互认知与信任问题

从长远来说,中俄战略协作伙伴关系的稳定、健康、和谐发展,必须要妥善解决好进一步加强双方之间的相互理解与信任问题。中俄两国高层之间已经建立起了比较良好的友谊与互信,而在普通民众之间,现有社会调查和研究结果表明,目前还存在着一些相互了解与理解不足、缺乏相互认同与包容,因而也就缺乏相互欣赏与信任的问题。在这项长期的系统工程上面,中俄双方的有关方面都还需要做出大量而艰辛的工作。     

Darfur and Sino-U.S. Relations

The Darfur issue has been influencing the Sino-U.S. relationship since July 2004. There are at least three reasons to say so. Firstly, China and the U.S. disagree,both on the nature of the issue and on its solution. Secondly,China and the U.S. have conflicting interests, especially their oil interests in Sudan and the African continent.Finally, U.S. domestic political forces have forced the issue onto the agenda of Sino-U.S. relations. Although the issue has become an unharmonious factor in the Sino-U.S.relationship, it has not damaged the bilateral relations too much. Instead, the two countries have been cooperating on the issue.     

德法和解历史对中日建立战略互惠关系的借鉴与思考

中国和日本是东亚地区两个重要国家,处理好中日关系符合两国人民的共同利益,对于东亚地区的和平与繁荣具有十分重要的意义。在中日建立战略互惠关系初显曙光的时候,通过比较研究汲取德法和解的经验,将使我们获得有益的启迪。人们期待中日关系能借鉴法德在欧洲和解的智慧、创造出东亚地区中日和平与合作的奇迹。在战后以来六十多年的时间里,中日和平友好与法德和解在亚欧不同地缘政治环境中也出现了明显的发展差异。法德关系经历并超越了相互憎恨的历史,走向了真正和解。法德和解奠定了欧洲合作的基石,两者伙伴关系的进一步深化则开创了从欧共体到欧盟的欧洲合作新局面。与德法和解带动欧洲国家整合的硕果相比,中日和平友好表现出了明显的滞后性和局限性。中日关系超越"战争历史"问题、国家地位身份认同问题、共同战略利益基础和政治互信问题等方面也都落后于法德和解的发展,法德和解取得了创建欧盟的硕果,中日则刚刚取得建立战略互惠关系的共识。中日矛盾的深层症结就在于没有战略合作的共识和目标,从而导致双方缺乏政治互信和在战略上相互猜疑。法德和解的经验告诉我们,推动中日战略互惠关系的发展必须构建中日战略合作的共识,在中日关系中制定并推行"和平、合作与共赢"的外交政策新理念。中日走出历史问题争论和民间对立情绪困境的出路在于中日政治家们是否有智慧搭建两国战略合作和战略互惠的目标与框架。中日需要开展面向未来的共同事业,推动地区共同体形成的过程中实现并深化两国关系的和解与合作。     

“南宁渠道”的性质、功能作用与成功经验

"南宁渠道"既是一条综合的、宽广的、多元的、立体的、稳固的、多边的、双边的、时代的、开放的、包容的、共赢的、文明的渠道;也是政治互信、政策沟通、设施相通、贸易畅通、资金融通和民心相通的渠道。它有力地服务了中国—东盟自由贸易区建设、国家周边外交战略及中国与东盟各领域各层次的交流合作,极大地提升了广西在中国—东盟合作中的战略地位与作用、广西在国际国内的知名度和影响力,并促进了广西的对外开放和发展。     

纪念尼克松访华40周年——在利益与冲突中发展前行的中美关系

中美关系自尼克松访华以来经历了多次跌宕起伏、反复曲折,但总体趋势是向前发展的。日益紧密联系和相互依存的经贸关系是推动中美关系积极发展的基础;不断增多的共同利益,谋求互利共赢的愿望成为维系中美关系向前发展的动力;而中美综合国力的消长使两国力量结构渐趋平衡,为双方平等对话、发展关系创造了条件。40年来美国对华定位的摇摆一直影响中美关系的发展方向和趋势,成为中美关系起伏曲折的主要原因,其中,中美社会制度和意识形态的差异是两国关系中具有对抗性的消极因素,而台湾问题则是影响中美关系向前发展的最大障碍。     

论当前中美俄三边关系新特征和新趋舅

国际金融危机以来,中美俄三边关系进入以合作为主的新阶段。在普京重新出任总统后,美俄能否在欧洲反导问题上形成共识,将成为影响美俄关系发展的重要因素。未来,中美俄三边关系将会是各国在争取自身战略利益的过程中不断寻求妥协,将彼此间的竞争控制在规则允许的范围内。基于美国实力相对衰弱、俄中实力上升、解决全球性和地区问题上需要合作等因素,三国关系仍可能以继续保持建设性合作的基本态势向前发展。     

人文交流:海上丝绸之路建设不可或缺的内容

加强和扩大中国与东盟人文交流是共建21世纪海上丝绸之路不可或缺的内容,有利于增强海上丝绸之路文化自信和复兴,有利于中国与东盟国家和民众增信释疑,有利于中国与东盟相互学习与借鉴现代文明,有利于中国与东盟经济合作搭台唱戏等。当前,在携手共建21世纪海上丝绸之路中,要继续推进中国—东盟双边教育、科技交流与合作,积极推进中国—东盟青少年交流,扩大和活跃双边文化交流,加强中国—东盟学术交流与合作,积极开展双边民族民间文化交流。     

确保相互依存与新型中美关系的构建

中美建交以来,两国相互依存程度不断提升,但高程度的相互依存并未确保两国关系的稳定发展。相反,近年来两国关系面临严峻挑战,双方经贸交往的负面效应和规则对接的利益分歧日益凸显,对彼此的威胁认知已严重损害相互信任。面对两国出现的波折,中美双方必须共同致力于构建超越确保相互摧毁、超越冷战思维、超越零和博弈和超越社会制度差异的大国关系,并通过更加全面、紧密和平衡的确保相互依存不断夯实两国关系健康稳定向前发展的牢固基础。当前,中美要克服相互依存的武器化倾向,努力在全球产业链和价值链、全球规则体系和全球治理行动中确保相互依存,从而推动构建以协调、合作、稳定为基调的新型中美关系。     

中国与朝鲜经贸关系转型中的困境及对策

新世纪以来,中朝经贸关系保持快速发展态势。其中的重要转变是从过去以战略安全为主导的经贸关系逐步转向以市场为主导的经贸关系,这一转变预示朝鲜正处于向市场经济转型的初始阶段。而在中朝经贸关系持续发展过程中,中国和朝鲜各自存在的问题影响、甚至阻碍着双边经贸关系的进一步发展,为了超越障碍、抓住朝鲜亟须外部支持之时机,中国有必要从重新确定双边经贸关系战略地位等方面入手,积极推动中朝经贸关系深入发展。     

风雨同行 共谋发展——中国与东盟建立对话关系20周年回顾和展望

20年来,中国—东盟关系走过了从消除疑虑、开展对话、增进互信到建立战略伙伴关系的不平凡的历程,成为南南合作的典范。尽管当前的中国与东盟关系还面临诸多挑战,但随着双方政治互信的增加、相互依赖的增强、安全合作的深化,未来的中国与东盟合作必将进一步走向成熟和共赢。
