Abstract

From the Chinese perspective, over the past decade, the international system and order have changed into multilateralism, with a fundamental contribution from People’s Republic of China. However Chinese government considers that geopolitical risks have been exacerbated, US government try to suppress and prevent China from enhancing its status in the international system and to use Ukrainian conflict to build blocs led by United States. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic intensified rising nationalism and protectionism. China’s strategy for the international system is being adjusted accordingly. Our research want to understand the China’s strategy for the international system in three aspects: First, what mean to Chinese leaders upholding the international system. Second, what represents to promote reform of the international governance system. And third, what is the further develop the international system for the global economy, finance, and emerging sectors and for regional cooperation mechanisms, that China defends. From this framework, will be analyzed the evolution of China international policy, from their classic roots to the five principles of peaceful coexistence and “the Narratives on the Russian Invasion in Ukraine”, from two beacons: President Xi Jinping Speaks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, using a negative heuristic and a positive heuristic. But also, the Global Security Initiative for Peace and the Principle of Indivisible Security proposed by President Xi. Confronting “USA plan against Chinese Threat” and “China Global Development Initiative”, “China-EU Comprehensive Investment Agreement (CAI)” and the “Position Paper of the People’s Republic of China for the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly”. At last, this article debate the proposal of the XX Congress of Communist Party of China to a common future of people of China and the humanity toward a New Era of peace, genuine democracy, with full application of Universal Declarations of Human Rights Declaration and Ecocivilization.
