on september 12, the 11th beijing xiangshan forum with the theme of "building peace, sharing the future" was held at the beijing international convention center.
in a high-end interview on the theme of "asia-pacific security", nie songlai, a major general researcher at the academy of military sciences, expressed his views on topics such as the asia-pacific security situation and china-philippines relations.
▲high-level interview on asia-pacific security
nie songlai believes that the asia-pacific security situation should be viewed comprehensively, objectively and dialectically. we should not blindly emphasize contradictions and conflicts, nor should we turn a blind eye and think that the world is peaceful. the asia-pacific region has generally maintained a basic situation of peace, stability and prosperity. although there are contradictions and differences, there is no war. the asia-pacific region is a highland for peaceful development and an important growth sector. the degree of cooperation, exchanges and integration among asia-pacific countries is gradually deepening. opportunities and challenges coexist in the asia-pacific region. the forces of peace are growing, and the factors affecting security are also growing, but overall the growth of peace factors exceeds the growth of factors affecting security.
when talking about the south china sea dispute and china-philippines relations, nie songlai pointed out that we should face up to the existing problems between china and the philippines, and also see the long history of traditional friendship between china and the philippines. china and the philippines have had twists and turns in their relations over the 49 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, but the fundamentals and mainstream are friendly cooperation. the chinese government has a clear view on china-philippines relations. if there are any illegal acts, we will definitely respond resolutely, but we are willing to sit down and properly handle unresolved issues through dialogue and consultation.
nie songlai also mentioned that the interference of countries outside the region in asia-pacific affairs is an important factor affecting the stability of the asia-pacific region and deserves vigilance. the asia-pacific region is large, with many countries, and their development levels, economic and social systems, and historical cultures are different. the instigation of countries outside the region will weaken the already insufficient strategic mutual trust. many problems could have been well controlled, but after being instigated, condoned and interfered by external forces, they may escalate and escalate into crises or even conflicts.
nie songlai concluded that in order to safeguard asia-pacific security, china must first firmly follow the path of peaceful development and become a defender of asia-pacific security.
second, we must adhere to the concept of common cooperation and comprehensive sustainable development. we should not only seek our own security, but also the security of all countries in the region. china recognizes the principle of indivisible security and will respect the security relations of all countries.
third, maintaining security in the asia-pacific is a comprehensive issue that involves all aspects. all countries must build mutual trust, strengthen cooperation, and work together to resolve security issues.
nie songlai stressed that the bottom line of asia-pacific security is to control conflicts and differences and prevent them from escalating into crises and wars. we must first maintain the bottom line and then pursue higher goals.
