Open up the right path for building a better future
World affairs are complex.
The interweaving of historical factors and reality, and the entanglement of ideology and practical interests often lead to intractable security issues.
For the sake of their own hegemony and private interests, some major powers have turned the tide and stirred up troubles, making a world plagued by problems even worse.
Weaving lies and wantonly smearing other countries, creating "inexplicable fear", insisting on creating "small courtyards with high walls" and "parallel systems", keen to engage in exclusive "small circles" and "small groups", politicizing economic and technological issues... All kinds of hegemonic forces The actions poisoned the atmosphere of international relations, exacerbated tensions in conflicts, and "digged holes" and "laid mines" for global development.
Pursue its own so-called "absolute security", "weaponize" globalization, use small countries as spearmen, make the people of small countries bear the cost and harm of geopolitical confrontation, watch the fire from the other side, and make a lot of money from war... incite split confrontation and create camp confrontation. Wrong actions shake the foundation of world peace.
"Our production and life are completely destroyed!" "The United States and NATO act in the name of human rights and freedoms, but everything they do is violating human rights and freedoms" "U.S. hegemony claims to 'do good', in fact exploit and plundering”... The accusations and shouts from people in Syria, Afghanistan, Cuba and other countries in the world profoundly show that the logic of hegemony is unpopular!
The times call for new ideas.

In the Middle East, China never seeks any self-interest, does not divide spheres of influence, and does not participate in geographical competition.
The SCO, CICA and other regional organizations or mechanisms continue to grow and develop, strengthen policy coordination around the management and control of hotspot issues and regional security cooperation, promote the establishment of regional security cooperation and dialogue mechanisms, inject more impetus into maintaining regional security and stability, and deepen regional security. Cooperation contributes a powerful force.

"Everything has its origin and end, and everything has its end. If you know what's in order, then you're on the right track." The common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept advocated by President Xi Jinping is in line with the deep inner logic of realizing universal and lasting security in the world, reflecting the world as one family , the righteous path of the human world, which conforms to the general aspirations of the international community, will surely shine more and more dazzling with the passage of time, and will inject more and more impetus into the protection of world peace and development.
