　　The bet365 champions league concept of Western powers and its limitations

Since modern times，With the expansion of capitalism，Eventually formed a world system dominated by major Western powers。In the process，The Western powers compete for colonies and world dominance，Two world wars broke out one after another。After the end of World War II，The United States has replaced Europe as the center of world politics，And through its own position of power、Alliance system、International systems and other means，Established world hegemony。In the process of establishing and maintaining world hegemony by Western powers，Western academic circles, especially international relations academic circles，Proposed various "stability theories" and "peace theories" successively，for example，Hegemonic stability theory、Balance of power stability theory、Unipolar stability theory、Bipolar stability theory、Multipolar stability theory、Democratic Peace Theory、Trade and Peace、Institutional Peace Theory、Eternal Peace Theory, etc.。However，These theories proposed by Western scholars have not brought peace to the world，On the contrary, it has caused serious disasters to human society。The reason why the above-mentioned Western peace theory has not been successful，The main reason lies in the inherent flaws in the Western bet365 champions league concept。

First, the superstitious principle of checks and balances，Emphasis on the distribution of power。In Western political culture，Check and balance of power is the primary political principle，The separation of powers reflected in domestic politics and the balance of power politics in international politics。In balance of power politics，Whether it is a binary balance of power，It is still a more complex multi-dimensional balance of power，Theoretically it is difficult to guarantee the long-term stability of the system。This is because balance of power politics is static，The changes in strength between countries are dynamic，With the imbalance of national development，Once the balance of power changes，The so-called "power transfer" occurs，The turbulent side of the international system will be highlighted。

The second is superstitious system and peace theory，Emphasis on the restrictive role of international institutions on state behavior。Major Western powers control the decision-making mechanisms of global international organizations，Serve its hegemonic interests；At the same time, build an alliance system and system with yourself as the core，Enter groupization in international and regional bet365 champions league、Factionalization，Build your own safety on the insecurity of others。

The third is superstitious belief in democratic peace theory，Emphasize the inhibitory effect of democratic institutions on conflicts。Democratic peace theorists believe，Democracies do not fight among themselves，Wars are more likely to occur between democracies and non-democracies and between non-democracies。The theory of democratic peace divides the world into so-called democratic countries and non-democratic countries，Oppose the two，And in order to realize the expansion of democratic and peaceful zones，Forcibly promote democratization in countries they consider non-democratic，The result is unrest in these countries，The conflict even spilled over to the regional and international communities。

It can be seen from this，The so-called “bet365 champions league concept” of Western powers，At its core is the zero-sum game of global bet365 champions league，Putting self-bet365 champions league against the bet365 champions league of others，Build self-bet365 champions league on the basis of the insecurity of others or even transform others，Believe that only homogeneous democracies can achieve peace。It emphasizes the locality of safety，Instead of wholeness；Opposition rather than inclusiveness；Homogeneity rather than heterogeneity。Anyway，Lack of caring and thinking about global bet365 champions league from the perspective of human society as a whole。

　Great Power bet365 champions league Concept with Chinese Characteristics

The Global bet365 champions league Initiative embodies the great power bet365 champions league concept with Chinese characteristics，It includes how China views and achieves its own bet365 champions league、How China views and achieves global bet365 champions league、The relationship between China’s own bet365 champions league and global bet365 champions league。It is fundamentally different from the bet365 champions league concept of Western powers based on confrontational thinking，Shows China’s justice and progress in achieving global bet365 champions league as a responsible major country。

First，Confrontational thinking beyond zero-sum game，Advocate for commonality、Comprehensive、Cooperation、Sustainable bet365 champions league concept。The Global bet365 champions league Initiative upholds the concept of common bet365 champions league，Respect and ensure the bet365 champions league of every country，Attach importance to the legitimate bet365 champions league concerns of all countries，Emphasis on looking at bet365 champions league issues from the perspective of mankind as a whole，Believe that mankind is an indivisible bet365 champions league community，The bet365 champions league of one country should not be at the expense of the bet365 champions league of other countries，Adhere to the principle of indivisibility of bet365 champions league，Advocate that self-bet365 champions league and common bet365 champions league are inseparable。The bet365 champions league concept advocated by the Global bet365 champions league Initiative，Truly embodies the integrity of global bet365 champions league、Characteristics of integration and cooperation，Beyond the Western confrontational bet365 champions league concept，Obviously progressive。

Second，Beyond unilateral and small multilateral group thinking，Advocating the principles of true multilateralism。President Xi Jinping emphasized many times，We must adhere to true multilateralism，Resolutely safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law。As mentioned before，The bet365 champions league concept of Western powers also attaches great importance to cooperation within the institutional framework，But cooperation under this system，Either hegemonic cooperation based on unilateralism，Either partial cooperation based on minilateralism，Highly selective、Closedness and Exclusivity。The global bet365 champions league initiative advocated by China embodies the true principle of multilateralism。

　Third，Abstract thinking beyond ideas and principles，Pay full attention to current key bet365 champions league cooperation areas。The biggest innovation of the Global bet365 champions league Initiative is that it proposes a bet365 champions league concept that is completely different from that developed in the West in modern times，But it does not stop at abstract conceptual debates，Instead, it proposes twenty major areas of cooperation that will focus on current and future international bet365 champions league fields。Among them，Including issue areas，Such as peacekeeping、Disarmament、Great power relations、Marine bet365 champions league governance、Counter-terrorism、Data bet365 champions league、Biosecurity、Artificial Intelligence、Outer space、Food and energy、Public Health、Climate change, etc.；Also includes regional areas，Such as ASEAN’s bet365 champions league mechanism、bet365 champions league Initiative in the Middle East、Peace Capacity Building in Africa、Building bet365 champions league mechanisms in Latin America and the Caribbean、Pacific island countries improve their ability to respond to non-traditional bet365 champions league threats。Innovation in concepts must ultimately be implemented into solutions to specific bet365 champions league issues and innovation in mechanisms。The Global bet365 champions league Initiative is not an abstract general bet365 champions league initiative，Instead, it focuses on the key bet365 champions league issues that need to be paid attention to and solved in the field of global bet365 champions league now and in the future，Not just an initiative，More action。

　Fourth，Beyond self-concept and system design，A bet365 champions league initiative that is open and inclusive of all human civilization and progress。The Global bet365 champions league Initiative adheres to the principle of openness and inclusiveness，As a global governance initiative on bet365 champions league issues，Also adhere to the governance concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits，Work with the international community to enrich the content of the initiative，Actively carry out cooperation in various new forms and new fields。Based on various mechanisms of the existing United Nations system，Advocating the “China+” mechanism，Start from issues and regions，Work hard to spread China’s safety initiatives and safety culture。In recent years，China has successively proposed global development initiatives、Global bet365 champions league Initiative、Global Civilization Initiative，A series of initiatives proposed by a responsible major country，In addition to the inclusiveness of the initiative itself、In addition to the characteristics of sharing and integrity，Another biggest feature is openness，Guaranteed the vitality of various initiatives。

　Fifth，Beyond the separation of bet365 champions league and development，Building equilibrium、valid、Sustainable global and regional bet365 champions league architecture。After the end of World War II，During the formulation of the United Nations Charter，Although the purpose of the Charter discusses bet365 champions league issues and development issues independently，But bet365 champions league issues and development issues are inextricably linked。Generally speaking，A safe environment is conducive to development，Development achievements also promote bet365 champions league to a certain extent，The two are dependent on each other，Mutual achievements。But for specific countries，If too many resources are invested in bet365 champions league，Of course it affects development；At the same time, if the development causes other countries to worry，Other countries adopt containment strategies，Insecurity caused by development will rise，There is also an inherent tension between the two。A unified architecture for bet365 champions league and development，It is also an important theoretical issue，Also a strategic issue。The Global bet365 champions league Initiative proposes the indivisibility of bet365 champions league and development，It is precisely based on the inherent relationship between the two that we plan bet365 champions league and development issues。

In short，Great Power bet365 champions league Concept with Chinese Characteristics，Beyond the hegemonic bet365 champions league of the West in modern times、Balance of Power bet365 champions league，And institutional bet365 champions league after World War II、Alliance bet365 champions league。The Western concept of bet365 champions league has brought about internal bet365 champions league in the West for a period of time，But in a global sense，Because of its confrontational thinking mode、The bet365 champions league concept of zero-sum game，Leading to more insecurity around the world，Intensified geosecurity tension。The great power bet365 champions league concept with Chinese characteristics emphasizes a community of human bet365 champions league，It is a broad and profound revolution in the bet365 champions league field，It not only reflects China’s view of great power bet365 champions league，It is also China’s responsibility for global bet365 champions league。
