当代国际力量对比与中国战略选择

A Contrast of World Forces and a Strategic Choice of China

当今世界正处于多极化的格局构建中。美国作为唯一超级大国,力图遏制其他国家的崛起;俄罗斯韬光养晦,务实求稳;欧盟是经济巨人,却难以“用一个声音说话”;日本则野心狂妄,咄咄逼人。在聚散离合的政治、经济、军事合作与竞争中,中国被束缚在东亚大陆,不崛起就会被蚕食,而崛起则会招致犯忌和制约,只有奉行“和平崛起”的对外战略,才能建立良好的外部环境,专心发展自身实力。

Today＇s world is in the construction of a pluralized pattern. America, as the only super country, is trying to hold back the rise of other countries; Russia is engaged in a practical and steady development due to its realistic situation; The European Union, as an economic giant, finds it hard to ＂speak with one voice＂; Japan is approaching the world with its great ambition and arrogance. Since China is confined to East Asia continent in the complicated cooperation and competition of politics, economy and military, it would be nibbled if it weren＇t developed. But the abrupt rise might bring about opposition and containment. Hence, only by executing the foreign policy of ＂peaceful development＂ can China establish a healthy exterior environment to develop itself without being ＂ distracted.
