Voltaire said that the falling sacred Roman Empire was neither sacred, nor Roman, nor kingdom, nor any kingdom. The same thing applies to the falling liberal global order. It is not a liberal, as it promotes the globalization of the economic, social and political system. It does not allow diversity and insists on the superiority of the Western model. It follows the philosophies of the end of history and the confrontation of civilizations. It is not global, because it only protects the interests of a few people at the expense of many. It is not organized, because it flourishes conflicts, wars, provocations and forced revolutions. It makes the idea of supremacy over equality, dialogue, confrontation, and the support of winning. To summarize, it is neither liberal, nor global, nor organized.
It has led the world to chaos, conflicts and severe distributions. Block mentality and hedimonic ambitions have made the situation more complicated. It gave birth to unity, which exploits others and protects the interests of some elected people, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and others. These alliances are formed in the name of stability and justice, yet they have become the main source of instability, injustice, conflict and war. The Complex of self -righteousness, greatness and superiority of the Western powers has sparked many conflicts worldwide. They have overwhelmed the needs of the security and development of the weak, less developed countries, ending their sovereignty. They force the weaker countries to tolerate new forms of powerful or colonialism, such as economic and technical colonies.
In this context, the world – especially the weak countries – developed a new system to ensure safety and promote sustainable security. As a major force, China accepted this responsibility, and President Xi Jinping introduced global security measures, which has been established on four pillars: 1) Joint, 2) Comprehensive, 3) Cooperative, and 4) Sustainable security. President XI presented the GSI to help the world tackle modern problems and emerging security challenges, ultimately the purpose of lasting peace. The analysis of the four pillars discussed below reinforces this argument.
The GSI’s joint security pillar views security as a joint responsibility and a right for all countries, regardless of their development status or military power. It discourages the mentality of the alliance and encourages mutual cooperation among all countries. No country is superior or inferior. This concept reinforces the belief that all are equal, and the safety of anyone is no more important than anyone else. Therefore, all countries should unite to secure peace, which will solve the legitimate needs of all on a sustainable basis.
The second GSI pillar is particularly interesting. It not only solves the current security needs of the world but also focuses on future needs. This is the first time that any global security move has given equal weight to traditional and unconventional security challenges. China understands that peace can never be achieved without achieving the basic needs of people. As a result, China considers food safety, poverty alleviation, energy safety, health and safe water. In addition, climate change, technology, artificial intelligence, and pandemic diseases also need serious and dedicated attention to ensure safe and prosperous planets for future generations. Therefore, China suggested that traditional and unconventional security should work together to achieve sustainable peace. China believes that the world should focus more on these areas rather than investing in weapons of mass destruction.
The third pillar of the GSI, which promotes cooperative perspectives and procedures to devise peace and security equipment, is very important. This pillar is designed to address the challenges of exception and separation among the countries.
The fourth pillar of GSI is sustainable security. This idea is not only to discuss the symptoms but also take appropriate steps to tackle the causes of the roots and basic issues. Sustainable security pillars give equal importance to the social and development needs of the people. To meet this, the world should take more emphasis on sustainable development goals (SDG) and the goals of the global development initiative and take practical steps to create an excellent world.
However, China believes that any move or program is useless without any action. Therefore, since the start of the GSI, China, under the leadership of President XI, has been working hard to meet the GSI vision. China has taken several steps to demonstrate its commitment to global peace and sustainable development. He launched a campaign to promote world peace by following the principles of dialogue and development with common interests in all his actions. In addition, it adopted a comprehensive and integrated approach to ensure the consequences of transparency and victory.
First of all, China launched a campaign to make development accessible to everyone, which is a fundamental need to build a peaceful society.
Second, China is trying to resolve conflicts by following the principles of dialogue, development and non -interference policy. The policy is working, and the KSA-Iran Treaty is a prominent story of success on this front. Thirdly, China is applying the same formula to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Fourth, President XI has proposed three steps to resolve the Palestinian problem, which includes ensuring the establishment of a Palestinian sovereign state, the historical status of sacred places, and solving people’s needs.
Finally, the GSI has all the necessary components and equipment to help the world deal with contemporary and permanent issues such as Palestine and Kashmir, as well as emerging safety challenges such as climate change and food insecurity, which eventually aimed at lasting peace.
