新时代中国海洋观及其对国际海洋治理的影响

The maritime outlook is people’s rational perception of the status,role and value of the ocean in human life and social development,and people’s overall view of the relationship between the ocean and national development.1 The maritime outlook has great influence on the formulation of a country’s marine strategy and the construction of sea power.Entering the new era,the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC)with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core,taking into consideration both domestic and international imperatives and drawing on the historical experience of maritime development both at home and abroad,has come up with China’s maritime outlook in the new era.A grasp of the implications of the concept,an analysis of its theoretical and practical origins,and an exploration of its significance to international maritime governance are conducive to thoroughly understanding the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy,and better promoting China’s maritime power strategy and the building of a maritime community with a shared future.
