关于国家核心利益的几点思考

Thoughts about Core National Interests

核心利益是国家利益结构中次序优先、关系全局、不容挑战和面临威胁的利益。核心利益既有普遍性也有特殊性;既有稳定性也有变动性。人们对核心利益的认知既有客观性,也有主观性。既不能将核心利益当成一般利益,从而忽视对核心利益的维护,也不能将一般利益随意上升至核心利益,造成在维护国家利益上避重就轻;在强化核心利益意识的同时,必须立足本国的国情和所处的国际环境判断和界定国家的核心利益;在保持国家核心利益内涵基本稳定的同时,还要根据形势的变化逐步、适时对核心利益作出调整;统筹考虑客观条件和主观因素,让主观认知的结果更加符合客观现实。

Core interests are the interests that take the first priority in the structure of national interests,relate to the whole picture,and face threat though should not be challenged.Core interests are universal as well as distinctive,and stable as well as fluid.Core interests are perceived subjectively as well as objectively. Core interests will be neglected if they are regarded as lesser interests and vice versa.Core interests are important though they should be assessed and defined in light of national conditions and international environment.The connotation of the core national interests is basically stable,though adjustment is necessary to the change of situation and should be done in a gradual and timely way. Objective conditions and subjective factors should be taken into account in combination so that the subjective perception fits the objective reality.
