The Security Governance and Strategic Stability Challenges of Artificial Intelligence amid Major-Power Competition

The rapid development of artificial intelligence(AI),especially the breakthroughs in generative AI technology,has pushed AI to the forefront of the information technology revolution and made the impacts of AI development and its governance model an issue of great concern to the world.In November 2023,the first global AI Safety Summit held at Bletchley Park of the UK released the Bletchley Declaration signed by 28 countries and regional organizations.

New Developments in the Security Situation in China’s Neighborhood and the Building of a Community with a Shared Future for Neighbors

The world is undergoing a new round of turbulence and changes,with severe conflicts in multiple regions.This has far-reaching implications for the evolution of the international situation.In this context,China’s neighboring regions have been impacted in many ways,and the security situation in the neighborhood is undergoing complex changes.This inevitably affects the building of a community with a shared future in the region.

Rebuilding ASEAN Centrality and the Development of China-ASEAN Relations

The recent intensification of China-US strategic competition has led to a restructuring of regional order.The United States,Japan,Australia,India and even the United Kingdom,France and the European Union have each launched their Indo-Pacific strategies.

Reflections on the Return of the China-Japan Relationship to the Normal Track

The China-Japan relationship has swung between deterioration and improvement in the 21st century while Japanese leaders'cognition and Japanese public opinion remain operative at a deep level.The return of the bilateral relationship in 2018 to the normal development track was aided by Japan's shift toward coordination,China's re-shaped policy,and a boost by the Trump administration.Though the China-Japan relationship will continue improving in the short run,it is unlikely“deterioratiomimprovcment”cycles will end since too many glaring structural contradictions exist.While memories of their intense history and today's territorial issues linger,the fluctuation of Japan*s diplomatic options and weak Japanese public opinion for improved relations with China will continue the same cyclical,but not forward,momentum.

The International Migration of Talent and Talent Security

There are basically three different types of internationally mobile talent: industry talents, professionals, and talents of the social sciences and culture. There are seven different factors underlying the international migration of talented people: the global income gap, the pursuit of personal worth, requirements of national development, technical innovation, industrial agglomeration, language and cultural compatibility, and immigration policies. The international migration of talent increasingly highlights the issue of international talent security, and has a far-reaching impact on personal safety, as well as national and global security. Therefore, cooperation on international talent safety issues should be strengthened in order to establish a more regular order to the international migration of talent, and to reduce the negative effects brought about by it, so as to promote economic globalization and sound economic and political progress in the international community.

Evolution of International Order

Current international order results from accumulation of different kinds of order in history.They were interconnected regional orders of integrated civilizations centered on a core country.Over the past five hundred years or so,these regional orders have experienced changes.Leaderships of the Western civilization have passed from Holland to Spain,France,and the U.K.and eventually to the

The Key of China-U.S.Relations Lies with the United States

When China and the United States established diplomatic relations,even the most optimistic people did not expect that the bilateral relations could reach to such a point today.When

China and International Development Cooperation in a Time of Profound Global Changes

The shift in the global balance of power is an important feature of the epochal changes we are witnessing in our time.This process is mainly determined by the rise of China’s overall strength.Since the 2008 global financial crisis,the impact of China’s economic growth on the international development paradigm and development cooperation has become a frequent topic of discussion in international politics and academic circles.At the academic level,the debate mainly focuses on China’s economic development model and related geopolitical and geo-economic research,whereas on the practical level it concentrates largely on China’s poverty reduction experience,foreign aid in the agricultural field,participation in global economic governance,and international cooperation under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Mutually Assured Interdependence and the Building of a New Type of China-US Relations

Ever since the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the United States,putting an end to the long period of isolation between the two countries,the bilateral relations have progressed from early limited engagement to a comprehensive interdependence with an increasingly high degree of mutual interests.As one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world,the overall China-US relationship has remained stable,providing an important guarantee for the world’s peaceful development,prosperity and stability.However,in recent years,the benign interactions between the two countries have been disrupted,exhibiting a tendency of antagonism in some areas.

TREND OF INTERNATIONAL LANDSCAPE EVOLUTION AND CHINA’S RESPONSE AGAINST BACKDROP OF COVID-19

The outbreak and spreading of Covid-19 have greatly impacted countries all over the world,making important differences in relations among major countries,world economy and global governance.It taps the balance of major powers’strength and changes their strategic relations,thus inevitably influences the surroundings for China's peaceful development.

Exchange and Mutual Learning Among Civilizations and Reshaping of Global Order

The history of development of human society over thousands of years is a history of exchange and mutual learning among different civilizations. In ancient times, this happened in a slow way like “natural history” process. It is imperceptible but persistent and pervasive. Today, the world has entered the era of globalization。

Dilemmas and Prospects of the World Bank’s Climate Finance

Currently,the World Bank is carrying out a new round of reforms for climate finance.In December 2022,the World Bank released the Evolutionary Roadmap(the Roadmap),in which the proposed climate finance reform program was introduced.In February 2023,then President Malpas,a climate change skeptic,announced that he was stepping down from his post,and Ajay Banga,a former advisor to the Climate Investment Funds(CIFs).

US Democratic Party Campaign Strategy Adjustment under the Background of Political Polarization

With the US 2024 election year already in sight,the campaign of the Democratic Party has drawn wide attention from the media and academia.Shortly after former President Trump announced his White House bid for 2024,President Biden officially announced his 2024 re-election bid.In the face of a possible“Biden V.S.Trump version 2.0”,the campaign strategy of the Democratic Party has been a hot topic.

China’s Efforts to Build a Community with a Shared Future in the Neighborhood from the Perspective of Major-country Competition

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,China has proposed and actively acted on the important vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.In October 2013,President Xi Jinping put forward that“the building of a community with a shared future should be advanced in China’s neighboring countries”.

America’s Policy towards China under Two Administrations in the Context of Great Changes: Difference, Influence and Enlightenment

Under the great changes unseen in a century,comprehensive containment and suppression of China in the name of strategic competition has become a crossparty consensus in the United States,with the Republican Trump administration initiating the process of containing and suppressing China and the Democratic Biden administration continuing and developing such a strategy.In the process of implementing this strategy,there are some diff erences in the goals and means of the two American administrations.The Trump administration was trying to“crush China”with the super strength of the United States,with more extreme and tougher means,being more unilateralist and even going so far as to launch a“new Cold War”against China.The Biden administration,on the other hand,emphasizes long-term competition with China,and focuses on“managing competition”while suppressing China,accustomed to being double-handed and using both carrot and stick.When it comes to addressing global challenges,the Republican Party completely lacks the will to cooperate with China,while the Democratic Party has a certain need for cooperation and action.

Local Adaptive Gradient Variance Attack for Deep Fake Fingerprint Detection

In recent years,deep learning has been the mainstream technology for fingerprint liveness detection(FLD)tasks because of its remarkable performance.However,recent studies have shown that these deep fake fingerprint detection(DFFD)models are not resistant to attacks by adversarial examples,which are generated by the introduction of subtle perturbations in the fingerprint image,allowing the model to make fake judgments.Most of the existing adversarial example generation methods are based on gradient optimization,which is easy to fall into local optimal,resulting in poor transferability of adversarial attacks.In addition,the perturbation added to the blank area of the fingerprint image is easily perceived by the human eye,leading to poor visual quality.In response to the above challenges,this paper proposes a novel adversarial attack method based on local adaptive gradient variance for DFFD.The ridge texture area within the fingerprint image has been identified and designated as the region for perturbation generation.Subsequently,the images are fed into the targeted white-box model,and the gradient direction is optimized to compute gradient variance.Additionally,an adaptive parameter search method is proposed using stochastic gradient ascent to explore the parameter values during adversarial example generation,aiming to maximize adversarial attack performance.Experimental results on two publicly available fingerprint datasets show that ourmethod achieves higher attack transferability and robustness than existing methods,and the perturbation is harder to perceive.

Developments in the U.S.Republican Party Since the 2020 Election

On November 8,2023,the Republican Party of the United States hosted its third televised debate for the presidential nomination primary in Miami,Florida.Former President Donald Trump,though absent once again,still maintains a lead in all polls and is even considered highly likely to win the Republican nomination for the third time,to fight Biden again and compete for the White House throne.In fact,over the three years since Trump left office,and Biden came to power,the Republican Party did not get rid of the influence of the political philosophy represented by Trump,and the party’s political ecology and policy agenda inevitably by Trump’s personal influence,presenting a subtle and complex political phenomenon as Trump has never left.

Artificial Intelligence in US Military Strategy:Trends and Implications

Since 2017,the United States has been advancing the utilization of artificial intelligence(AI)in its military strategy.Academic studies of AI’s impact on national security generally fall into four groups.The first group deals with the specific areas where AI empowers the military,such as intelligence acquisition and analysis,new weapon manufacturing,command and control decision-making and implementation,and man-machine relationship.

印度强化与“全球南方”关系:战略雄心与制约

The Global South has been a hot topic for the international community in recent years,with major countries laying out ambitious strategies to optimize their position among the Global South countries.1 According to Foreign Policy,a notable trend in 2023 was the growing influence of the Global South in becoming an increasingly powerful and assertive stakeholder in global issues.2 The Munich Security Report 2023 devoted a lot of coverage to the Global South,mentioning the term 55 times.3 However,it is worth noting that major powers have different definitions of the Global South.
