在全球化時代,各國隨著經貿互動增加,互賴關係亦隨之加深,中共自從鄧小平提出「和平與發展」的政策綱領以來,與國際全球化的潮流全面接軌,強調發展利益重於軍事安全利益,一九九七年四月,中共在與俄羅斯的聯合聲明中,公開指出「摒棄『冷戰思維』、確立『新安全觀』的思想」,至此,強調和平、協商的「新安全觀」即成為中共外交政策的主調。 近兩年來,受到來自美國的安全威脅升高,中共的「新安全觀」受到嚴厲挑戰,中共對外武器採購的動作加大,與俄羅斯的關係日益密切,國際是否已逐漸走向「新冷戰」?「新安全觀」的理想是否能繼續?是觀察未來中共外交動向時不可忽略的發展。
In the era of globalization, international trade has boomed and interdependence has intensified. Since Deng brought in the ”peace and development” policy outline, the PRC has opened up its domestic market and fully accepted the rules and norms of globalization. To cultivate a peaceful environment for development, the PRC put economic interests above military and security concerns. In April 1997, the PRC and Russia proposed publicly denounced the cold war mentality and introduced the idea of a ”new security view.” Emphasizing peace and negotiations for solving conflicts has become the PRC's main foreign policy theme. For the past two years, however, the PRC has faced escalating security threats from the U.S. China's new security view has thus encountered dire challenges. Reactions from the PRC include increased arms purchases and closer alignment with Russia. A new Cold war seems to be in the making. Doubtful is if the PRC's idea of a new security view will be able to continue. How the PRC's foreign policies might change in the future deserve close attention.
