How to resolve the Asia -Pacific "security predicament"?Jin Canrong: It is important to accept the "relative security" mentality of beauty

[Global Times-Global Network Reporter Zhang Tingge] According to reports, the U.S. Navy said on Wednesday (July 13) that the Riden aircraft carrier strike group is performing routine tasks in the South China Sea. This is the first time that the aircraft carrier formation has entered the South China Sea this year cruise. Earlier, the "Benford" missile destroyer "Benford" illegally broke into the Westsha collar sea without the approval of the Chinese government. It was organized by the Southern theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to track and monitor and warn. Some analysts believe that the United States has increasingly regarded the South China Sea as an important part of its "blocking China" and is exploring a new paradigm of "competition" with China in the South China Sea. Southern Theater spokesman Tian Junli Air Force said that the facts once again explained that beauty is the "South China Sea Safety Risk Makers" and "Regional peaceful and stable destroyed".

In addition to frequent atmosphere in Nanhai Xiu Xiu's muscle, the United States has recently moved on the Asia -Pacific security issue. A few days ago, the U.S. military expanded the militaryization of Tianning Island International Airport to promote the militaryization of the Western Pacific Island, and deployed B1B and B2 bombers on Guam and Australia to improve the so -called "strategic deterrence" capabilities. On the 7th of this month, the reporter of the Global Times also learned from sources that since 2021, the Japanese and US military have conspired many times in an attempt to induce and pressure on the Kishida government to cooperate with the US -curbing China plan to assist in deployment of the United States in southwestern Japan's islands to deploy in southwestern Japan. The mid -range (medium -range ballistic missile) troops have achieved "integrated deterrence" to China by strengthening the construction of the "First Island Chain". In addition, Japan has raised military expenses and "military loosening" on the pretext of Russia and Ukraine, and the United States has basically acquiesced. Moreover, under the urging of the United States, the South Korean government is accelerating the restoration of normal operation of the "Sad" base. Does these mean that the current Asia -Pacific security is facing major changes, and the "security dilemma" intensifies?

Kim Can Rong, a professor at the School of International Relations of Renmin University of China, told the Global Times reporter that this series of actions and the so -called "security dilemma" it produced were caused by the "absolute security" mentality of the United States. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States had a short period of time, close to the "absolute safety" period that it wanted. After China's military forces developed and expanded in recent years, the United States believes that this situation has destroyed the "absolute safety" it wants. Essence When the United States finds that it cannot "do whatever they want" and is unwilling to accept "relatively safe", the mentality becomes more and more unbalanced, and its sense of security is constantly lost.

Jin Canrong believes that "absolute safety" does not exist, and "security" is in the final analysis is a relative concept. From the perspective of "relatively safe", the security of the United States can be completely guaranteed. The purpose of China's military forces to develop military forces is to focus on maintaining its own safety, not to threaten or defeat the United States. Therefore, there is no such thing as a "safety dilemma" between China and the United States. The United States needs to return to the mentality of a normal country and change its pursuit of "absolute security". The country's absolute "unsafe".

In addition to mentality issues, Jin Canrong believes that the United States does not accept the 1982 The Convention on the Law of the United Nations is also a reason for the deterioration of the regional security environment. According to the United Nations Convention on the Ocean Law in 1982, countries such as 12 nautical miles, the width of the sea, 24 nautical miles, and 200 nautical miles exclusive economic zones, which is also recognized by most countries. However, the United States did not approve the Convention on the United Nations Marine Law in 1982. It follows the traditional marine law and old marine law, adheres to the concept of only 3 nautical miles in the first sea, in order to make the so -called "freedom of navigation" and also deploy the "" Siege forces ". The behavior of the United States is based on destroying the recognized marine order. Therefore, the United States should accept the mainstream of the world and join the 1982 UN Marine Law Convention.

In Jin Canrong's view, if the United States can accept the "relatively secure" mentality and the 1982 UN Oceanic Law Convention, the foundation of security contradictions in many regions will slowly disappear. However, he also mentioned that this requires major changes in the United States, and it is estimated that it is difficult to see the significant changes in the United States in the short term. Therefore, on the one hand, China must persist in doing its own, and on the other hand, it is necessary to do a good job of regional cooperation and economic cooperation to resolve the provocation and provocation of the United States with cooperation.
