中国周边外交的政策调整与新理念

Policy Adjustments and New Concepts in China's Diplomatic Policy towards its Neighbors

面对新的周边环境和国际挑战,十八大以来,中共中央对周边外交政策进行了适时调整,中央周边外交工作座谈会的召开即是这一调整的集中体现。周边外交政策的调整表现为:周边外交在外交全局中的地位获得提升,处理与周边国家经济关系的理念由'互利'到强调'惠及',政策目标由维持周边稳定和密切经济合作提升为建设'命运共同体',总体上突出更加奋发有为地全面推进周边外交工作。文章根据政策调整的主要方面,结合现实问题和有关周边外交政策的争论,重点分析了'亲、诚、容、惠'理念及其相应政策问题,认为周边外交工作的重点应偏向争端解决与区域合作等突出的议题。

In the face of a changing environment in its periphery and new international challenges,China's 18 th Party Congress has made timely adjustments to China's foreign policy towards its neighbors.The convening of the central government's working group on foreign policy towards neighboring countries served to consolidate these policy adjustments.In sum,China has emphasized that it will more consciously and systematically advance its foreign policy efforts with respect to neighboring countries.Taking into account the main direction of China's policy adjustments and both empirical problems and policy debates regarding China's diplomacy vis-a-vis neighboring countries,this article analyzes the Chinese concepts of 'amity,sincerity,mutual benefit and inclusiveness' and policy issues stemming from these concepts.It argues that the core focus of foreign diplomacy vis-a-vis China's neighbors should trend towards key issues related to conflict resolution and regional cooperation.
