How to manage and protect the Grand Canal in the new era?

  The Grand Canal is a precious legacy left by our ancestors, bearing the long history and cultural context of the nation. In the new era, the Grand Canal has been endowed with new values and functions to inherit the precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Facing the new requirements of protecting, inheriting and utilizing the Grand Canal, it is urgent to strengthen the management and protection of the river water system, improve the resource conditions of the river water system, improve the function of flood control and drainage, promote the function of water conservancy and water transportation, and support the cultural protection and inheritance and utilization of the Grand Canal.

  Characteristics and functions of the Grand Canal water system

  The Grand Canal was excavated in the Spring and Autumn Period in the 5th century BC and has a history of more than 2,500 years. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal centered on Luoyang was built on the basis of dredging existing rivers. During the Yuan Dynasty, the skeleton of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was formed by cutting and straightening Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal and digging Huitong River and Tonghui River. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal gradually became the main line of north-south water transport. After the founding of New China, the Grand Canal has become the main waterway running through the eastern coastal areas of China, and it is also one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.

  The Grand Canal takes water as its soul and river as its pulse. In the course of more than two thousand years’ development, it has formed the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal with Beijing as its destination, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal with Luoyang and Kaifeng as its center, and the East Zhejiang Canal. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal includes seven sections: Tonghui River, North Canal, South Canal, Huitong River, Middle Canal, Huaiyang Canal and Jiangnan Canal. The Grand Canal in Sui and Tang Dynasties includes Yongji Canal and Tongji Canal.

  1. Distribution characteristics of water system

  (1) the geographical space span is large.

  The Grand Canal, with a total length of more than 3,200 km, spans 10 latitudes and 2 climatic zones, runs through the eastern plain of China, and spans eight provinces (municipalities directly under the central government) including Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The terrain along the route is quite different, and the climate changes obviously. The average annual precipitation for many years ranges from 500mm to 1400mm, making it one of the longest canals spanning latitudes in the world.

  (2) communicate with many rivers and lakes.

  The Grand Canal runs through the north and south, connecting five natural water systems, namely Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River, and connecting lakes such as gaoyou lake, Hongze Lake, luoma lake, Nansi Lake and Dongping Lake in series. Through thousands of years of manual intervention and regulation, it has dug and dredged many natural river sections, connected the original artificial water transport channels of rivers, lakes and depressions, and is an important channel to communicate the water systems in the north and south of China.

  (3) Rich cultural heritage resources

  The Grand Canal is a great creation in the history of water conservancy projects in the world, which brings together many advanced water conservancy ideas and the essence of hydraulic technology in ancient times. There are more than 1,200 material and cultural heritages along the Grand Canal, including river heritage, hydraulic heritage, affiliated heritage and related heritage. The Grand Canal is the mother river of Cangzhou, Liaocheng, Jining, Xuzhou, Huai ‘an, Yangzhou and other cities along the coast. It forms the regional cultures of Beijing, Tianjin, Yanzhao, Qilu, Zhongyuan, Huaiyang and wuyue, as well as various cultural forms. It embodies the splendid culture of Chinese civilization for thousands of years and is an important carrier for inheriting Chinese history and culture.

  (4) Economic status is important

  The Grand Canal runs through six provinces and two municipalities directly under the central government in the eastern plain of China, and the areas along it carry more than one-third of the population with less than one-tenth of the country’s land, contributing nearly half of the country’s total economic output. It is one of the regions with the most developed economy and society and the strongest development momentum in China. Despite the alternation of dynasties and historical changes for thousands of years, the position of the Grand Canal as the political, economic and cultural artery of each era has been maintained to this day, and the spirit of the Chinese nation’s pursuit of unity, prosperity and civilization has been organically brought together, which has always been an important link connecting China’s political and economic centers.

  2. Function and function

  After more than 2,000 years’ development and evolution, the Grand Canal has experienced the military era and the water transportation era. It is not only an important channel for communication between north and south shipping, but also a backbone channel for cross-basin flood and drainage. At the same time, it also undertakes the task of transferring water from South to North. In addition to cultural inheritance, it also plays a variety of functions such as flood control and drainage, water supply and irrigation, inland navigation and ecological landscape.

  (1) Flood control and drainage function

  The Grand Canal runs through the middle and lower reaches of rivers and plains, and its main function is flood control and drainage. A number of river sections undertake urban flood control and drainage functions, and the southern section of the Yellow River meets the water systems of the plain river network along the way, bearing the flood control and drainage functions of the hinterland of Huaihe River and Taihu Lake basin, which not only ensures the safety of the canal itself, but also ensures the protection tasks of major cities, key areas and cultural heritage along the route.

  (2) Water and water supply function

  Some sections of the Grand Canal have undertaken the task of water transfer and water delivery in the East Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, and played an important role in the construction of China’s water resources allocation pattern of "four horizontals and three verticals, north-south allocation and mutual aid between east and west". In the 1156km water delivery line of the East Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, 750km of the Grand Canal is used, and the second phase is also planned to use some rivers such as the South Canal to deliver water. In addition, some sections of the Grand Canal also undertake regional water transfer or emergency water transfer tasks, such as water diversion from Jiangsu Province to the North, water diversion from eastern Zhejiang, and water diversion from the Yellow River to Tianjin.

  (3) inland navigation function

  Water transport is one of the important functions of the Grand Canal. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, south of Dongping Lake in Shandong Province, has a navigable reach of 1050km, which is the "golden waterway" next to the Yangtze River in China. South of the Yellow River, except the Zhejiang section of the Jiangnan Canal and the East Zhejiang Canal, the other sections are Class II ~ III waterways. Since 1970s, the navigation in the north of the Yellow River has been gradually cut off. Only some sections of the Yellow River are reserved for tourist navigation, and the sections from Beiguan Gate of the North Canal to Gan Tang Rubber Dam and Tianjin are seasonal tourist navigation.

▲ The Grand Canal carries important water transport functions.

  (4) Ecological landscape function

  The long history of water transportation in the Grand Canal has formed a cultural belt with the Grand Canal as the core. For example, the pattern of Beijing urban water system was formed on the basis of the opening of Tonghui River in Guo Shoujing in the Yuan Dynasty. Suzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, etc. are all typical city representatives who rely on the Grand Canal to become rich in the charm of Jiangnan water towns. With the Grand Canal becoming a world cultural heritage, Tongzhou Grand Canal Forest Park, North Canal Country Park, Jiangdu Water Conservancy Project, Shaobo Lake and other cultural sites publicity exhibition halls have been built one after another, and the ecological and cultural functions of the Grand Canal have become increasingly prominent.

  Present situation of management and protection of grand canal

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the Grand Canal is a precious legacy left by our ancestors and a flowing culture, which should be well protected, passed down and utilized, pointing out the direction for the management and protection of the Grand Canal. In February, 2019, the Outline of the Planning for Cultural Protection, Inheritance and Utilization of the Grand Canal (hereinafter referred to as the Outline) issued by the Central Office and the State Council called for the construction of the Grand Canal cultural belt as the core, the creation of splendid cultural belts, green ecological belts and colorful tourist belts, and the continuation of the Millennium charm of the magnificent canal, making it a beautiful business card to promote China’s image, show Chinese civilization and show cultural self-confidence in the new era, and put forward the functional orientation around different sections of the Grand Canal, making overall plans. In December 2019, the Central Office and the State Council issued the "Construction Plan for the Great Wall, the Grand Canal and the Long March National Cultural Park", and the Grand Canal entered the ranks of key national cultural parks, which put forward specific requirements for building national cultural parks, making the Grand Canal an important symbol of Chinese culture, and carrying out river water system management and management. In recent years, provinces, cities and relevant state departments along the route have carried out a lot of work around the protection and utilization of the Grand Canal, and achieved remarkable results. However, in the face of the new situation and new requirements of protecting, inheriting and utilizing the Grand Canal, the management and protection of the river system of the Grand Canal is still insufficient.

  First, there is a serious shortage of water resources in the northern section of the Yellow River, resulting in the disconnection of some sections.North China, where the northern section of the Yellow River of the Grand Canal is located, is one of the regions with the most scarce water resources in China. With the rapid economic and social development and the continuous improvement of urbanization level, the regional water consumption is gradually increasing, and the development and utilization of water resources are seriously overloaded, resulting in serious over-exploitation of groundwater in North China, forming a number of groundwater level drop funnels. The rivers such as the North Canal and the South Canal have been cut off for a long time, and the Weihe River and the Wei Canal have been cut off seasonally or even dried up for a long time. Even after the first phase of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project is opened, it still cannot

  Second, the flood control and drainage system is not perfect, and there are outstanding weak links.The Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River and Taihu Lake basins through which the Grand Canal passes are frequent and complicated areas in China. In order to eradicate the floods, the state has continuously strengthened the flood control and drainage management in the basins, and most of the river sections have reached the planned flood control and drainage standards, but there are still outstanding weak links, and problems such as river siltation, substandard dikes and insufficient flood discharge capacity are common in the northern section of the Yellow River. Along the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, the terrain is low, the drainage conditions are poor, and the regional flood control and drainage capacity is insufficient; Due to the great encirclement of cities along the Yangtze River and the changes in the construction conditions of polder areas, a large amount of flood water was discharged into the canal in flood season, which led to the high water level of the canal. It is urgent to expand the drainage road of flood water outside the canal to alleviate the flood control pressure of the canal.

  Third, the lack of water shoreline protection affects the function of the canal.In order to strengthen the management and protection of rivers and lakes, the Ministry of Water Resources has uniformly deployed and launched a special campaign to clean up the "four chaos" in rivers and lakes across the country. Provinces and cities along the Grand Canal have concentrated on cleaning up and rectifying the "four chaos" in the canals under their jurisdiction, and the appearance of the canals has been significantly improved. With the acceleration of urbanization along the Grand Canal, some river sections have problems of disorderly shoreline development and encroachment on rivers and lakes. Illegal sand mining occurs from time to time in some river sections, which affects the functions of flood discharge, water conveyance and navigation, and poses a certain threat to the protection of the cultural heritage of the Grand Canal.

  Fourth, the water pollution load is heavy, and the pressure of water resources protection is great.In recent years, various provinces and cities along the Grand Canal have continuously strengthened water resources protection and water ecological environment management, and achieved good results. However, some sections of the Grand Canal north of the Yellow River were once used as sewage channels, and some sections of the villages and towns were occupied by garbage, which greatly reduced the water environmental capacity. There are many lakes along the reach from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, and the water body is eutrophic in different degrees because of the purse seine in Nansi Lake and the cultivation along the lake bank. Factories and enterprises on both sides of the south section of the Yangtze River gather, and some enterprises discharge sewage into the river, resulting in a large amount of pollution.

  Fifth, the shipping system is not perfect, and the level of green development needs to be improved.The navigation level of the south section of the Grand Canal has been continuously improved, and the freight scale has increased rapidly, which has played an important role in improving China’s comprehensive transportation system and giving play to the advantages of inland waterway economy and environmental protection. However, there are some problems such as substandard navigation channels, insufficient navigation clearance of some bridges, saturated capacity of some shiplocks, and low degree of specialization and intensification of ports. Most sections of the Yellow River north are currently in a state of suspension, and the shipping efficiency and service level need to be further improved.

  Sixth, the responsibility of management and protection is not clear, and the management coordination mechanism needs to be improved.Except for some provincial river sections which are directly managed by river basin agencies, the Grand Canal is managed in a territorial way, and a management system involving water conservancy, transportation, cultural relics, tourism and other departments has been established. Due to trans-regional and inter-departmental problems, such as regional division and overlapping responsibilities of departments, it is urgent to establish a coordination mechanism at the national level to coordinate the functions of flood control, water supply, heritage protection, navigation and ecology of the Grand Canal.

  Thoughts on management and protection of grand canal

  In accordance with the instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on protecting, inheriting and making good use of the Grand Canal and the overall deployment of the construction of the National Cultural Park, and following the water control idea of "giving priority to water conservation, balancing space, systematically managing and exerting efforts with both hands", the general tone of water conservancy reform and development of "making up the shortcomings of water conservancy projects and strengthening supervision of water conservancy industry" is implemented, guided by the functional orientation of different river sections. The main tasks are to improve the water resources conditions of river courses, improve the flood control and drainage guarantee function, promote the shoreline protection and service upgrading, and strengthen the management and protection of the Grand Canal. We will restore and enhance the functions of flood control and drainage, water supply and water supply, inland navigation, ecological landscape and cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, and turn the Millennium Canal into a "flowing river, a safe river, a beautiful river and a wise river" to benefit the people.

  The management and protection of the river system of the Grand Canal need to be combined with the new situation and challenges, based on the height of protecting, inheriting and making good use of the Grand Canal, in accordance with the concept of ecological civilization, adhere to the harmonious and green development of people and water, adhere to the priority of water conservation, measure water, adhere to local conditions, implement policies in sections, adhere to overall consideration and comprehensive balance, adhere to reform, innovation, coordination and linkage, and coordinate the following relations.

  1. Handle the relationship between protection, inheritance and utilization.

  The management and protection of the river system should adhere to the principle of joint protection rather than large-scale development. It is necessary to protect the Grand Canal, its facilities and water cultural heritage, carry forward and inherit its comprehensive functions, and at the same time improve the utilization level of the river system of the Grand Canal.

  2. Handle the relationship between needs and possibilities.

  We should not only consider the demand for water resources for the construction of green ecological corridors and the realization of tourism navigation in suitable reaches, but also fully consider the water resources conditions and the feasibility of coordinating regional water resources allocation; It is necessary to improve the safety standard of flood control and waterlogging elimination, but also to respect nature and arrange the flood outlet reasonably; It is necessary to promote the protection, restoration and management of water ecological environment in an orderly manner, and strengthen the control of river water coastline.

  3. Handle the relationship of "four waters" overall management.

  To strengthen the rigid constraint of water resources’ water environment carrying capacity, we should not only consider the relationship between water saving, water distribution, water transfer, water ecological environment improvement and navigation function improvement, but also consider the relationship between water environment management and protection and clean water supply, and also handle the relationship between flood control and drainage and water resources allocation, water resources and water ecological protection.

  4. Handle the relationship between governance and control.

  Governance and management are two important means to do a good job in the Grand Canal water article, and also reflect the requirements of the general tone of "water conservancy projects make up the shortcomings and the water conservancy industry is strongly supervised". Both governance and management should be paid equal attention to, so as to ensure the reliable function of the Grand Canal and realize the long-term operation of the Grand Canal through management and control.

  Key points of management and protection of the Grand Canal and countermeasures and suggestions

  1. Key points of management and protection

  ① Improve the resource conditions of river system and build the Grand Canal into a "flowing river". Facing the shortage of water resources in the area north of the Yellow River, in view of the water resources conditions and water demand in different sections of the Grand Canal, we should closely link up the major national strategic requirements such as coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, construction of xiong’an new area, ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin, implement water demand and quantity, take water resources as the greatest rigid constraint, strengthen the economical and intensive utilization of water resources along the Grand Canal, strengthen the control of total water intake, and accelerate the comprehensive management of groundwater overexploitation along the line. Give priority to local water resources, reclaimed water in cities and towns, and properly supplement the water diversion projects such as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the Yellow River Diversion Project, optimize the allocation of water resources, actively promote the construction of the second phase of the East Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and strive to achieve water supply throughout the Grand Canal in normal years.

  ② Improve the function of flood control and drainage, and build the Grand Canal into a "safe long river". In order to ensure the flood control safety of the Grand Canal, it is necessary to focus on ensuring the safety of the Grand Canal and the towns and key cultural heritage sites along it, rely on the flood control and disaster reduction system in the basin and region where the Grand Canal is located, and focus on the river regulation of the Grand Canal, and coordinate the relationship between flood control and water delivery, shipping, river regulation and cultural heritage protection. By optimizing the flood control and drainage layout, improving the flood control and drainage engineering system and strengthening flood risk management, the Grand Canal and its rivers with hydraulic connections can be comprehensively regulated to improve their flood control and disaster reduction capabilities.

  ③ Strengthen the protection and restoration of water ecology and build the Grand Canal into a "beautiful long river". In order to protect the water ecological environment of the Grand Canal, it is necessary to strengthen the water source protection of the water conveyance channel of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, ensure the ecological water demand of rivers and lakes, and protect and restore the ecological environment of the Grand Canal, protect and restore the basic forms of the rivers and lakes of the Grand Canal, restore the green vitality of the Grand Canal, enhance the water ecological service function of the Grand Canal, and build a green ecological corridor running through the north and south.

  ④ Promote shoreline protection and service improvement, and build the Grand Canal into an "ecological river". To manage the "basin filled with water" of the Grand Canal, it is necessary to strictly control the waterfront space of the Grand Canal, clarify the functional zoning and control requirements of the coastline, standardize the development and utilization of the canal coastline, strictly manage sand mining, promote the construction of water conservancy infrastructure network, strengthen the maintenance of water conservancy projects, strengthen the protection and utilization of water conservancy heritage, and strive to restore the clean and tidy appearance of the river, so as to make revetment an important part of the cultural ecosystem of the Grand Canal.

  ⑤ Improve shipping efficiency and service level, and promote the green development of shipping. In order to further promote the green development of the Grand Canal shipping, it is necessary to steadily promote the navigation in the appropriate section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal north of the Yellow River, upgrade the shipping in the southern section of the Yellow River and the eastern Zhejiang Canal, and promote the tourism navigation in the appropriate section of the Sui and Tang Dynasties Grand Canal, and comprehensively improve the shipping efficiency and service level by means of reaching the standard, upgrading the port and developing green ships.

  ⑥ Innovate the water management system and mechanism to build the Grand Canal into a "long river of wisdom". In order to further improve the coordinated linkage mechanism of river system management and protection of the Grand Canal, it is necessary to speed up the construction of a coordinated linkage, intelligent management and control, monitoring and early warning, and emergency response mechanism for the Grand Canal river system, relying on the system of river length and lake length, taking the implementation of the most stringent water resources management system as the starting point, taking the intelligent management and protection of river system as the means and strengthening the prevention and control of water safety risks as the bottom line.

  2. Policy recommendations

  (1) Accelerate the construction of the follow-up project of South-to-North Water Transfer Project.

  Shandong and Henan provinces have all allocated and licensed water use indicators for the Yellow River, and only relying on local water, the northern section of the Grand Canal will be difficult to meet the objectives of water supply and water ecological protection and restoration proposed in the Outline, and must rely on external water transfer. It is suggested that, on the basis of giving full play to the water supply capacity of the first phase of the East Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the emergency water supply project of the first phase of the East Route should be accelerated, and the river diversion, yellow river diversion and local water resources should be rationally dispatched to speed up the construction of the second phase of the East Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project.

  (2) further implement the system of river length and lake length.

  Promote the length of rivers and lakes at all levels from "famous" to "real", clarify the length and responsibilities of rivers and lakes along the Grand Canal, and supervise the implementation of the river length system and the performance of the river length. Formulate the "one river, one policy" management plan and action plan for the Grand Canal, define the tasks in water resources protection, water shoreline management and protection, water pollution prevention and control, water environment management, water ecological restoration, law enforcement and supervision, and put forward detailed implementation plans and management and protection measures. Establish the responsibility system of lake length with the responsibility system of provincial and municipal party and government leaders as the core, implement the management and protection personnel, funds and assessment mechanism, build a long-term mechanism for lake management and protection, and establish an inter-administrative coordination mechanism for lake length.

  (3) to speed up the construction of water laws, regulations, policies and systems of the Grand Canal.

  To speed up the construction of water laws and regulations of the Grand Canal, it is suggested that the documents of water conservancy laws and regulations of the Grand Canal should be formulated, and the provincial and municipal governments along the route should improve the local laws and regulations on the protection and management of the Grand Canal, so as to realize the institutionalization, standardization and proceduralization of water management of the Grand Canal. Establish a unified law enforcement agency for the Grand Canal, learn from the management experience of Suez Canal, Panama Canal and Midi Canal in France, coordinate the water law enforcement forces along the Grand Canal, focus on illegal sewage discharge along the coast, shoreline occupation, "black wharf" and illegal sand mining, and organize joint law enforcement activities across provinces, cities and departments to maintain the trend of cracking down on illegal activities along the Grand Canal. Strengthen the guidance and inspection of the administrative law enforcement work of the provincial and municipal authorities along the line, and establish a supervision and notification system for water disputes and illegal wading cases.

  (4) Create a "wisdom canal" with the help of new technologies.

  Make full use of new technologies such as Internet of Things, cloud computing and big data, build a unified monitoring network platform along the Grand Canal, build big data at all levels, professions and related industries, and build a large system of business support, decision support and public service support, build a "smart canal", strengthen perception, expand network coverage and support capabilities, promote information sharing, and continuously improve the scientific decision-making level of water management in the Grand Canal.

Global news: the yield of 10-year US bonds hit a 14-year high, and the rebound of US stocks came to an abrupt end.

  On Wednesday, local time, the rebound of US stocks came to an abrupt end. Overnight, the yield of 10-year US bonds soared again, returning to above 4%, hitting the 4.1% mark, the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. Coupled with the record inflation in the euro zone and the highest inflation in the UK in 40 years, the central bank’s hawkish interest rate hike is expected to rise, and European and American stock markets are under pressure, and all major indexes have closed down.

  As a result, the expectation that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates aggressively has aggravated the worries about economic recession, and at the same time, it has also curbed the optimism brought by the earnings season. Especially in Tesla’s after-hours financial report, although the profit exceeded expectations, the revenue and gross profit margin were lower than expected, the average selling price of cars fell from the previous month, the revenue of "selling carbon" hit a new low in one year, and the strong dollar was also dragged down, falling more than 5% after hours.

  It is worth mentioning that Musk put another "swear word" on the conference call. Tesla’s market value will exceed the sum of Apple and Saudi Aramco, and at the same time, it may buy back 5-10 billion US dollars of shares, but at present, this has limited effect on its stock price.

  In terms of energy, the United States confirmed the sale of 15 million barrels of strategic oil reserves. Biden called on oil companies to suspend stock repurchase, but this failed to appease the market, and the US oil market rose by more than 4%.

  In other respects, the British cabinet was in deep crisis, and the senior adviser and home secretary left. Trass apologized again but refused to resign.

Frequently wielding sanctions and putting pressure on other countries, the US government has been widely criticized at home.

  Xinhua News Agency, Washington, August 10 (Reporter Zhu Dongyang) This week, the US government frequently resorted to economic pressure on other countries, and successively announced that it would restart sanctions against Iran in the non-energy field, prohibit the export of all sensitive goods and technologies involving national security to Russia, and double the import tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum products.

  In addition, the U.S. government has repeatedly stated that if the above-mentioned countries fail to agree to the conditions proposed by the United States, the United States may take a more severe pressure action in the second stage. The frequent use of sanctions and tariffs by the U.S. government to pressure other countries has caused widespread criticism in the United States.

  The New York Times quoted Chad Bowen, a senior researcher at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, an American think tank, as saying that this behavior of the United States has sent a "disturbing" signal to the world.

  Eswar Prasad, an economist at Cornell University, said in an interview with the media that the U.S. government’s frequent use of tariffs to resolve diplomatic disputes "set a worrying precedent".

  Edward Price, a former spokesman for Obama’s National Security Council and Obama’s special assistant, said through social media that American consumers will pay the price for the government’s tariff punishment actions, but these actions can’t help solve the problem.

  Dan Mahaffey, deputy director of the Center for Presidential and Congressional Studies, told the reporter that "Article 232" has become an excuse for the United States to carry out trade bullying actions under the banner of safeguarding national security, and these actions cannot protect the national security of the United States.

  Washington post pointed out in a commentary that sanctions have replaced the foreign policy of the US government. But practice has proved that the effect of this practice is not satisfactory. The world is increasingly worried that the United States is overusing these means and neglecting important diplomatic channels such as negotiation and consultation.

  In response to US President Trump’s claim earlier this week that he imposed sanctions on Iran for "world peace", the article quoted American scholar Daniel Larry Sen as saying to refute: "Fighting economic wars with other countries in the world does not prove that the United States wants world peace."

Brush drama contempt chain has been broken! Xianxia and costume cultural products under the "Oriental Filter" are going out to sea in groups.

This article was transferred from WeChat WeChat official account:All-media school(ID: quanmeipai), author: Tencent Media, the first picture comes from vision china.

Three days ago, netizen Janene Russeau was in the TV series "Tiansheng Long Song"(The Rise of Phoenixes )Comments on YouTube homepage of:

I watched the 40th episode on the American version of Netflix, and I want to pay to watch the rest of the content. I really love this TV series, and I want resources and links! Thank you!

I thought that being labeled as "applauding without being a hit" was the final conclusion of a drama "cool". The experience of "returnees" who didn’t think that the flowers in the wall were fragrant outside the wall brought a second spring of traffic to Tiansheng Long Song.

Official preview of Netflix version of "Tiansheng Long Song"

In fact, the first domestic drama "The Tide of the Sea" took place in the 1980s, and works such as The Journey to the West, Princess Huanzhu and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are still regarded as classics by audiences in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea.It is not unusual to go to sea, but it is favored by European and American platforms, but it is a proud pleasure.

Compared with the wind and rain of domestic dramas, the development of Xianxia net in Europe and America can be described as overwhelming.

Since the birth of WuxiaWorld, the first English translation website of online literature in 2014, the overseas versions of Gravity Tales, Volarenovels and Reading Point have also been launched. Full-time translator, original writer, fan post bar, proprietary vocabulary comparison table, and all kinds of "supporting facilities" are available. There is also an urban legend that American readers successfully quit drugs because they are addicted to Panlong.

WuxiaWorld update list

The so-called good dramas with good conscience are produced every year, and the online texts are endless. What is the charm of these domestic cultural products accepted by European and American markets? In this issue, the all-media school brought home-made cultural products to the sea for illustration, and deeply analyzed the cultural genes of "costume drama" and "Xian Xia Wen" entering the European and American markets.

Double-sided tape for domestic dramas going to sea: selected and misunderstood

Domestic dramas become the strongest king in the contempt chain.

Empresses in the Palace, 2015.(Empresses in the Palace)I like Netflix, and the netizens who like Dapu Ben rush to tell me, "It’s finally our turn to spoil the Americans!" English drama > American drama > Japanese drama > Korean drama > TVB > The contempt chain of domestic drama seems to have a chance to reshuffle.

However, Empresses in the Palace, the 6-episode edition, was cold in the United States, but it poured a pot of cold water on her expectant parents’ heads. A short month later, another media reported that the love of foreign netizens with long reflex arc for Zhen Xuan finally arrived late. They not only spontaneously produced 76 episodes of Empresses in the Palace with English subtitles on Viki and YouTube, but even praised it as "China’s female version of Game of Thrones".

(IMDb Empresses in the Palace score)

Learning from the experience and lessons of Empresses in the Palace, the latecomers know how to read the minds of foreign audiences more and more.

In 2017, he landed on Netflix’s brain-burning suspense drama "White Night Chasing Murder"(Day and Night)With the interlocking and climactic plot, American netizens called it "Sherlock in China" and got a high score of 8.7/10 on IMDb. Some viewers left a message in the comment area: "My God! This play is simply wonderful! You have everything you want to see! "

In 2018, domestic dramas going out to sea catch up with the beauty of the Premier League.

In the first half of the year, iQiyi broadcasted the online drama "River God" alone.(Tientisn Mystic)At the new york International Television Film Festival, he won the Silver Award for Best Visual Effects, the Bronze Award for Best Director and the Finalist Award for Best Drama. Recently launched "Tiansheng Long Song"(The Rise of Phoenixes)I have achieved good results in mainstream film criticism communities in Europe and America-I won IMDb8.8/10, rotten tomatoes received 100% full praise, I have a theme community on Facebook, and fans’ confession on reddit and Youtube is also extremely enthusiastic. "I was fascinated by the plot and beat the old routine of Hollywood romantic movies." "I’m sorry to know that I’m dead. I want to talk to the screenwriter about my life and read the original. Is there an English translation of this book?"

Represented domestic sea drama

According to statistics, the total export of TV dramas in China in 2016 was 510 million yuan, an increase of one third compared with 380 million in 2015.Although the copyright transactions between Netflix and China video websites such as iQiyi and Youku have become more frequent, the situation of "hot in the east and cold in the west" of China TV series has not changed qualitatively.

Interface news statistics in 2017 The number of TV dramas exported from China in 2012-2016.

As of the day before the manuscript was finished, Empresses in the Palace still didn’t score on the French version of Netflix. There were less than 100 users who scored "River God" on IMDb, only 24 people subscribed to the topic of "Tiansheng Long Song" on reddit, and less than 30 people scored rotten tomatoes.

On September 23, Stephen Mccarty, the entertainment critic of Post Magazine, wrote a polite complaint:

Tiansheng Long Song is a masterpiece with quite a style, but are there too many aristocratic legends with similar themes? The Moon in Qin Dynasty is Beautiful, The Biography of Chu Qiao, to the sky kingdom and Warrior Lanling … Even though they have their own merits, too many costume dramas are still aesthetically tiring.

This kind of evaluation is not a picky statement. Three weeks ago, netizen Traveler Pat left a message on YouTube saying:

China’s film and television industry seems to be addicted to dynasty stories and court struggles. I want to watch something else, which is light and humorous and close to life, like Please Answer 1988.

In order to find more opinions, the author asked on the overseas version of Zhihu Quora: "How many European and American audiences are China fans?" The high vote answer is translated as follows:

Most TV dramas in China are about tactics, beauties and history. It’s good to kill time, but you have to be a "fan" unless you like China history or oriental beauties.

Few spectators are expected, but how are China TV dramas represented by the category of court costume dramas?

In December last year, 36Kr wrote an article summarizing two characteristics of China’s sea plays in recent years:

First, most of them are ancient costume themes;

Second, the radiation range is basically the gathering place of Chinese in Asia, Africa, Europe and America.

After a lapse of nearly a year, the situation has not changed much. Although the domestic conscience drama has made great efforts to catch a lift from Netflix to explore the Asian market, buyers and sellers have unconsciously created a tunnel of cultural vision for European and American audiences. Although the Yue nationality transcends the world, it is not a good thing to become a stereotyped symbol: the costume drama under the "Oriental Filter", while being selected as an exotic spectacle, will inevitably escape the shackles of rigid prejudice.

A feast in the rivers and lakes: the advanced form of kung fu dream


"Xian Xia Liu" opens a new era of popular culture

On December 22, 2014, with the enthusiastic donation of American readers, WuxiaWorld was formally established, which opened the way for western "Taoist friends" to cultivate immortality. Since then, besides Hollywood, Japanese anime and Korean idol drama, a new viral cultural product, China Net Text, has appeared in the world.

Lai Jingping, founder of WuxiaWorld(pen name: RWX)He is a Chinese-American and fantasy novel’s Panlong.(Coiling Dragon)Translator. At the end of 2014, under the crowdfunding of book fans, Lai Jingping gave up his job as an American diplomat and established WuxiaWorld, the world’s largest English-Chinese translation website and forum for Asian websites.

 WuxiaWorld post bar discussion area

At present, the team of translators of this website has finished including Panlong.(Coiling Dragon)Fight against the sky(Battle Through theHeavens)arms to move things around(Wu Dong Qian Kun)A total of 23 novels, including martial arts and fantasy, including some Korean online texts. WuxiaWorld has set up the industry standard of English-to-English Internet translation, Wild Age.(Desolate Era)Deathblade, the translator of(Lao Bai)He also taught translation lessons on YouTube.

Deathblade explains the translation standards of proper nouns in Xian Xia’s articles on YouTube.

Some fans even evolved into original writers, creating a new field of British and American best-selling literature: in 2016, Daman Dasi, an engineering student in Istanbul, Turkey, published his debut novel The Divine Elements on Gravity Tales.(God-given element), harvesting 20,000 fans; Tina Lynge, a Danish woman writer, finished Blue Phoenix.(Lan Fenghuang)Series, widely praised on Amazon.

 The original English Xianxia novel being serialized in WuxiaWorld.

The success of WuxiaWorld indicates a new trend. With the help of the crowdfunding model of readers, large and small online translation platforms have mushroomed.

The net text is popular, but the subject matter is single.

Why did China’s net articles explode in Europe and America?

Wu Wenhui, CEO of Reading Group, once analyzed the reasons behind it in an interview:

Inspired by myths, legends, historical classics and so on, which have been circulated and evolved in China for thousands of years, this kind of online writing constructs a huge world view deeply rooted in China’s traditional culture, which is completely different from the cultural background of the western world and brings unprecedented reading experience to overseas readers. At the same time, it is full of twists and turns and bizarre plots, and the heroic struggle experience is hearty.

At this point, the net text, which has been looked down upon by the old pedant, has finally become the beacon of China’s cultural output. Going out to sea with net articles seems to be a grand event of boiling oil and flowers.

However, foreign netizens seem to have new views on this issue. Some netizens on Quora responded that Xianxia’s popularity is only a phenomenon in circles, which is inseparable from drugs for people who take drugs.

Some netizens have provided new treasures, saying, "Vietnamese readers are the loyal fans of China’s net articles".

Compared with Southeast Asian countries, European and American markets have a more specific and sharp taste for China’s online texts.

In 2017, iResearch published the White Paper on Online Literature in China. The statistical results show that the subjects most expected by overseas online users are martial arts and Xianxia. In the Ranking column of Gravity Tales, there are 53 books on the list, and only one is a non-martial arts fantasy book.


 The only non-martial arts fantasy novel on Gravity Tales list.

At first, the author thinks that this phenomenon of single theme is caused by the imbalance of the gender ratio of online readers (92.4: 7.6). However, the survey data shows that there is no obvious difference between male and female readers in their main preference themes. Perhaps, as Wu Wenhui said, European and American readers’ love for martial arts online texts is essentially derived from their eastern imagination of China’s kung fu. Xianxia online texts are text versions of Mulan and Kung Fu Panda, and the deep-seated reasons for the popularity of online texts are the exotic and religious-mysterious cultivation chivalrous men.

Tunnel of Oriental Wonders: Zuo Zongtang’s Chicken Interest in the Rising Stage

In August this year, the all-Asian romantic comedy movie Crazy Rich Asians.(Crazy Rich Asia)The popularity in the United States not only rose against the trend in the off-season of school, but also created an unprecedented box office miracle, and the praise of rotten tomatoes was as high as 92%. Many netizens believe that the birth of this drama marks the highlight moment of Hollywood Asian actors changing their lives.

 Crazy Rich Asians’s all-Asian lineup broke the strange circle of Hollywood’s discrimination against Asian actors.

However, the well-connected netizens in China expressed their disappointment after reading the film: Although the performance lineup was remarkable, why did the Hollywood-style old-fashioned scripts and unrealistic characterization make European and American audiences want to stop?

Columnist Kai Yin attributed the success of this american born chinese film to conforming to the long-standing "Chinatown-style" aesthetic of European and American people in the article "What is a crazy and rich Asian, but an old American export turned to domestic sales":

Due to the extreme lack of in-depth understanding of China and Asia, the creator’s wishful thinking and grandiose imagination happened to be against the ordinary American audience who had more or less experience as curious passers-by in Chinatown. The two sides hit it off and introduced each other as confidants, which made the film have an explosive commercial market effect.

This Chinatown fantasy under the "oriental filter" appears in various European and American film clips involving China culture/China characters, and also exerts a subtle influence on the aesthetic taste of European and American people for China cultural products. For a foreseeable long time, the domestic TV series "studying abroad" may still be represented by historical costume dramas, and the online literature exported to Europe and the United States may still be dominated by the theme of Xian Xia. To some extent, the "Oriental Filter" from the perspective of Europe and America makes China’s content products go to sea as a proposition composition.

In 1978, edward said pointed out in Orientalism that the eastern society in the eyes of western countries in the 19th century had no real basis, but was an imaginary East, and the western world had a subtle but lasting prejudice against the people and culture of the East.

Today, domestic cultural products are still facing a similar dilemma when they go out to sea. It’s a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and I’ll go up and down.

From 0: 00 on December 13, 2022, the communication itinerary card completed its historical mission and officially went offline.

Now, the health code has quietly retired to the second line.

In Alipay and WeChat, the direct entrance of the health code has disappeared and turned into "medical health", providing one-stop medical and health services., users can continue to access the health code and the following medical services:

-No queuing for registration fees in 3A public hospitals.

-One-click check of services such as changes in medical insurance balance

-You don’t have to run once to get the medicine home.

-Cardiopulmonary special physical examination after Yangkang to prevent severe illness

If you still need to display the health code and inquire about the nucleic acid test results, Alipay keeps the entry in the secondary menu, and you can continue to access it.

You can continue to find the nucleic acid detection portal on WeChat, but you can’t see the health code at all.

According to National Health Commission’s notification,Since January 8, 2023, China has officially implemented "Class B and B Management" for Covid-19 infection, and the focus of its work has shifted from "infection prevention" to "health protection and severe disease prevention", and from risk areas and personnel control to health service and management.

The Course and Significance of Deng Xiaoping’s Diplomatic Thought of "Two Changes"

[Abstract] After entering the new era, under the background of profound changes in the situation at home and abroad, the second generation of the central leading collective of the CPC with Deng Xiaoping as the core, relying on rich political experience and keen insight, revolved around two major issues, such as how to understand the international situation and what kind of foreign policy to formulate according to the situation, not only scientifically analyzed the rapidly evolving trend of the times and the world trend at that time, but also formed a series of major strategic judgments that profoundly affected contemporary China. The diplomatic thought of "two transformations" put forward in 1985 is one of the outstanding representatives. History shows that the brewing and development of the diplomatic thought of "two transformations" not only accurately answered a series of important questions such as the historical position of contemporary China and its strategic position in international politics, but also played a great role in promoting China’s modernization and reform and opening up. Therefore, it is a key to understand the development of CPC’s diplomatic thought since the new period.

[Keywords:] "Two transformations"; Put forward the course; profound influence

At the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission on June 4th, 1985, Deng Xiaoping made a striking speech. He mentioned that after the downfall of the Gang of Four, especially after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, through the analysis of the general trend of the world and the surrounding environment, China achieved two important changes in its judgment of the international situation and its foreign policy, namely, it changed its original view that the danger of war was imminent and changed the "one line" strategy we pursued in the past. [1](pp.126-128) This idea is what the academic circles later called "two changes" in China’s diplomacy in the new period.

Since the diplomatic thought of "two transformations" was put forward, although the world is not peaceful, under this guidance, the pace of China’s rise has been steadily moving forward. This shows that this idea has stood the test of time and history. It is for this reason that the research on this idea has always been attached importance by domestic academic circles. Previous studies show that "two transformations" are not only a theoretical crystallization of Deng Xiaoping’s diplomatic thought, but also a key to understand the development of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s diplomatic thought in the new period.

This year coincides with the 30th anniversary of the diplomatic thought of "two transformations". In order to deeply study this important thought, which has a profound influence on contemporary China, the author tries to make a further discussion on the course, basic connotation and far-reaching influence of this thought on the basis of the above research and in combination with the current domestic and international situation.

First, the realization of the historical turning point: the origin of the diplomatic thought of "two changes"

As an important guiding ideology of China government’s foreign policy in the new period, the proposal of "two changes" is not out of thin air and accidental, but has a very complicated and profound historical background.

(A) the basic understanding of the CPC on two major issues in the 1970s

In the 1970s, under the background of bipolar hegemony, with the change of the offensive and defensive situation between the United States and the Soviet Union, the whole international relations presented a complicated situation of drastic changes. One of its appearances is the gradual formation of the strategic triangle between China, the United States and the Soviet Union in the western Pacific and the resulting game among all parties. Under this situation, a series of major historical events have occurred in this region, such as the armed conflict on the Sino-Soviet border, Nixon’s visit to China, the signing of the Treaty on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems by the United States and the Soviet Union, and the climax of the third diplomatic relations between New China. This series of major historical events profoundly influenced the judgment of the Chinese Communist Party on the international situation and the formulation of foreign policies throughout the 1970s. Undoubtedly, the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1973 and the 11th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1977 can best reflect this understanding.

In judging the international situation at the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1973, the basic points are as follows: First, the current international situation is characterized by chaos in the world, and "everything is coming"; Second, the hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union is the source of world unrest; Third, the United States and the Soviet Union both compete and collude. The Soviet Union was a diversion from the East to the West, and its real strategic focus was on Europe. While the west wants to lead the disaster to China. Accordingly, in foreign policy, the Tenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that we should strengthen unity with all countries that are invaded, subverted, interfered, controlled and bullied by imperialism, so as to form the broadest United front and oppose imperialism and colonialism, old and new, especially the hegemonism of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. [2]

At the 11th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1977, judging the international situation, its basic points were as follows: First, while the revolutionary factors continued to grow, the war factors increased obviously; Second, the Soviet Union and the United States are the source of the new world war. However, under the strategic situation that the Soviet Union takes the offensive and the United States is on the defensive, the Soviet Union is more dangerous. Third, although the struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States has spread all over the world, its focus is still on Europe; There is a trend of appeasement in the West, which not only fantasizes about maintaining peace by compromising and giving in, but also fantasizes about pushing the Soviet Union to China. Accordingly, in foreign policy, the Eleventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that all preparations should be made for the Soviet Union and the United States to launch a new world war, and all countries invaded, subverted, interfered, controlled and bullied by imperialism and social imperialism should be United to form the broadest United front against the hegemonism of the two superpowers. [3]

Although there are still obvious mistakes and shortcomings in the ideological line and political line of the Tenth and Eleventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, these two important meetings comprehensively and intensively reflected the basic understanding of the CPC on two major issues, namely, the judgment of the international situation and the formulation of foreign policies. In short, this is: the hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union is the root of world turmoil; The factors of war are obviously increasing, and the Soviet Union has become the main threat to trigger war. China needs to build the most extensive international anti-hegemony united front to oppose the possible world war.

(B) the shift of the focus of the work of the party and the state and the origin of the diplomatic thought of "two changes"

The development of history is often not a straight line. After entering the late 1970s, with the development and changes of the domestic and international situation, new changes have taken place in the two major issues mentioned above. The fundamental reason for this change lies in the historical turning point in China at the end of 1978.

The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held in December 1978 was an important turning point in the contemporary history of China. This plenary session not only completely corrected the "Cultural Revolution" and its previous "Left" errors, but also made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the work of the party and the country to socialist modernization and implement reform and opening up, thus realizing a great turning point with far-reaching significance in the history of the party and the country and opening a new period in the history of reform and opening up in China. Since then, unswervingly promoting reform, opening up and modernization has become "the overriding central task of the people of the whole country for a long time to come" and "a great cause that will determine the fate of the motherland for a thousand years." [4](pp.208-209)

So, how can we ensure this "central task" and "a great cause for generations to come"? In this regard, the top leaders of the Communist Party of China have gradually formed some consensus: to speed up modernization, we must open our doors to the world while basing ourselves on the domestic market, so as to introduce foreign advanced technology, expand exports, increase foreign exchange, and develop foreign economic cooperation, and so on. [5](p.327) Although a consensus has been reached, it is necessary to implement these grand ideas in complicated practical work, but it is necessary to answer the two major questions mentioned above in theory. That is, how to look at the changed international situation and how to formulate China’s foreign policy in the new period.

At the same time that China has achieved a historical turning point, the whole international relations and situation are also in a "turning point". [6] (P. Foreword.1) This is highlighted in the following aspects: After entering the 1980s, a new scientific and technological revolution flourished around the world. Driven by this new scientific and technological revolution, the wave of reform and adjustment began to spread all over different types of countries, and the trend of economic globalization was further highlighted. Moreover, with the further rise of economic and scientific factors in international relations, the strategic focus among big countries is increasingly shifting from short-term and military advantages to long-term and comprehensive national strength competition. [6] (P. Preface.3) Obviously, under this situation, the original judgment that "war is imminent" can no longer accurately reflect the developed and changed world trend, and the original view of the times that insists on revolution and war can no longer scientifically reveal the developed and changed trend of the times.

It can be seen that the origin of the problem of "two changes" is an inevitable requirement for the development of the domestic situation after the shift of the focus of the party and the state. From abroad, this is a reflection and adaptation of the CCP to the changing world trend. In this regard, Deng Xiaoping once profoundly pointed out: "Our foreign policy is based on our general views and analysis of international issues." [7](p.327) "The primary task of China’s foreign work is to strive for peace and serve China’s socialist modernization." [8](p.10)

Second, the exploration in great changes: the brewing process of the diplomatic thought of "two transformations"

Like any mature guiding ideology, the proposal of "two transformations" is not achieved overnight, but has gone through an unusually careful brewing process.

(A) the situation at home and abroad from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s

From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, the situation at home and abroad developed rapidly and experienced profound changes. Specifically:

Domestically, during this period, China not only brought order out of chaos in the guiding ideology, but also achieved a great victory in the practical work on all fronts, thus realizing a historic and great transformation. On this basis, the Twelfth National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the scientific proposition of building socialism with China characteristics. After the 12th National Congress, the reform and opening-up began to spread rapidly throughout the country, and China’s social productive forces were greatly promoted, and its comprehensive national strength was constantly enhanced. This is mainly manifested in:

First, the economic field. On the basis of summing up historical experience, the party and the state have steadily shifted the focus of their work to socialist modernization. On the one hand, they have resolutely eliminated the long-standing "Left" errors in economic work, on the other hand, they have conscientiously implemented the policy of adjustment, reform, rectification and improvement. After several years of hard work, by 1985, China’s economy had passed the most difficult period and embarked on a healthy track of steady development.

Second, the political field. It ended the long-term social unrest after the "Cultural Revolution" and realized a stable, United and lively political situation. The leading bodies at all levels of the CPC and the state have been gradually adjusted, rectified and strengthened; Democracy and the legal system have been gradually improved; The relationship of equality and unity among all ethnic groups has been strengthened again; The patriotic United front has been further expanded; Education, science and culture are gradually on the right track and show a preliminary prosperity; Wait a minute. Such a political situation is considered to be "one of the best historical periods since the founding of the People’s Republic of China". [9](p.262)

Third, the ideological field and the self-construction of the CPC. The cult of personality and dogmatism that prevailed in the past have been broken, and the society is active in thinking, and there has been a vivid scene of trying to study new situations and solve new problems. In addition, in order to correctly implement the policy of emancipating the mind, the CPC reaffirmed the four cardinal principles in time and did a lot of work to correct the party style. Moreover, leading posts of the party, government and army at all levels, from the central government to the local government, have added a number of outstanding cadres who have both ability and political integrity and are in the prime of life, and the abolition of the tenure system for cadres and the rejuvenation of cadres have been significantly promoted. [9](p.400)

Fourth, the military field. The People’s Liberation Army has made remarkable achievements in strengthening military training and ideological and political work, improving the relationship between the army and the government, guarding the border, safeguarding the security of the motherland and participating in socialist construction. The military and political quality of the army has been improved under the new historical conditions. [9](p.263)

Fifth, the diplomatic field. The China administration actively adjusted its relations with the United States, Japan, the Soviet Union and other countries, thus "opening up a new situation in the international struggle", constantly improving its international status and greatly improving its international situation and national security situation. Moreover, with the promotion of opening to the outside world, China has gradually broken through the shackles of capital, technology, talents and management, and its economic ties with other countries have become increasingly close and frequent, and its economic dependence with other countries has deepened. [9](p.59)

In short, by the mid-1980s, China "had begun to find a way to build socialism with China characteristics" and was in "one of the best and crucial periods since the founding of the People’s Republic of China". [9](p.397)

At the same time, from the perspective of foreign countries, international politics, economy and new technological revolution are also undergoing a profound change. This is mainly manifested in:

First, the trend of multipolarization in international politics has been further enhanced. First of all, after fierce competition in the early 1980s, the Soviet Union began to shrink its forces and fronts around 1984. Taking this as a turning point, the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union and even the whole international situation began to gradually turn to relaxation. This trend became more obvious after Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1985. Secondly, with the growing discord within the western camp and the obvious intensification of the centrifugal tendency of eastern European countries towards the Soviet Union, the ability of the United States and the Soviet Union to control and influence international affairs has been greatly weakened. Thirdly, the struggle of the third world, which accounts for three quarters of the world’s population, to safeguard national independence and develop national economy has continued to develop, and it has increasingly become an important force that cannot be ignored in international politics. In addition, the reform and opening up has greatly activated the vitality of China, and China has increasingly become an important force on the international stage.

Second, peace and development have become the central issues of common concern to people all over the world. During this period, under the trend of economic globalization, the re-development of developed countries and the development of developing countries, as well as the contradiction between North and South derived from it, have increasingly become obstacles to the further development of the global economy. Under this background, all countries in the world are troubled by various economic problems. In order to solve their own development problems, countries urgently need not only a peaceful environment, but also economic exchanges between them. Seeking peace, development and cooperation has become the trend of the times.

Third, science and technology are increasingly becoming the most active and decisive factor in the new social productive forces. During this period, with the high-tech strategies such as the "high frontier" in the United States, the "Eureka Plan" in Western Europe, the "comprehensive outline of scientific and technological progress" in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and the "research plan for new fields of human science" in Japan, by the mid-1980s, the competition of developed countries to seize the commanding heights of science and technology had become a heated trend, and the competition of comprehensive national strength based on economy and guided by science and technology had increasingly become the most international competition, especially among big countries. [8](p.49)

Fourth, the economic rise of East Asia in 1980s. Following the rapid development of the "Four Little Dragons of Asia" in the 1970s, the East Asian region, represented by China and Southeast Asian countries, experienced rapid economic growth in the 1980s. The rapid growth of the overall economy in East Asia has attracted worldwide attention and is also known as the "Asian economic miracle". Many people believe that this is the most remarkable event in world history after World War II, and believe that the modernization of Asia will become the most important world development direction from the 1990s to the early 21st century.

(B) In the mid-1980s, the CPC made breakthroughs in understanding several major issues.

It is under the above historical background that the second generation of the Central Leading Group of the Communist Party of China with Deng Xiaoping at the core has made an unusually prudent exploration around how to treat the changed international situation and formulate foreign policies corresponding to it. This kind of exploration, first of all, is reflected in a key breakthrough in understanding a series of major issues that have long puzzled people’s minds, such as how to treat "war and peace", "theme of the times" and "alliance". Specifically:

First, about war and peace. Based on his profound insight into the international situation in this period, Deng Xiaoping believed that: under the background of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were the only ones who wanted to wage or were able to wage war; Other international forces besides the United States and the Soviet Union, including Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, China and the vast Third World, are opposed to war, which makes "the forces of peace and the forces that restrict war have made gratifying progress" and makes the United States and the Soviet Union "dare not wage war easily". [10](p.1085) On this basis, around 1984, the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party gradually changed the traditional understanding that "war is imminent" and "world war is inevitable", and then reached a new major judgment. Namely: "It is possible not to have a large-scale world war for a long time, and there is hope for maintaining world peace." [1](p.127)

Second, about the theme of the times. After the judgment of war and peace became clearer, Deng Xiaoping’s strategic judgment on the theme of the times began to mature. Through a profound analysis of the great changes at home and abroad in the same period, he believes that "peace issues" and "development issues" have increasingly become "two prominent issues" and "the most fundamental issues" in the world today, and they have "global and strategic significance". [10](pp.979, 974, 1010) During 1984 and 1985, his thought was continuously developed and perfected, and finally he put forward that "peace and development" are the two major problems in the contemporary world. He said: "The real big problems in the world now have global strategic problems, one is peace, and the other is economic or development." [1](p.105)

Third, about "alliance." Since the founding of New China, under the special background of the Cold War, based on the comprehensive consideration of social system, ideology, national security and strategic interests, China has successively pursued strategic policies such as "one-sided" and "one-line". In the anarchic international politics, for China, a relatively small country, this strategic policy of "alliance" or "quasi-alliance" is undoubtedly an act with relatively low cost and controllable risk. However, after entering the new era, with the shift of the focus of the work of the party and the state, the vigorous rise of domestic economic construction, and the development and evolution of international politics, especially the "strategic triangle" between China, the United States and the Soviet Union, the disadvantages of pursuing "alliance" or "quasi-alliance" in foreign policy began to stand out. Deng Xiaoping knew this very well. In this regard, he once hit the nail on the head and pointed out: "We are willing to be friendly with whoever wants to be friendly with us, but we will never get involved in any group or form an alliance with them." [10](p.1068) "China’s foreign policy is independent and truly non-aligned." [1](p.57)

In short, under the historical background of the rapid development of the domestic and international situation in the mid-1980s, around the above-mentioned major issues, our party has successively achieved key breakthroughs in understanding. Undoubtedly, these key breakthroughs will promote the emergence of new important ideas.

Third, the creation of a new diplomatic situation: the proposal and great significance of the diplomatic thought of "two changes"

After this series of breakthroughs in understanding, as a theoretical summary of how the CPC treats the international situation and foreign policy in the new period, the diplomatic thought of "two transformations" is coming to the fore. Its time node was finally fixed in 1985.

(A) 1985: The diplomatic thought of "two transformations" was finally put forward.

As mentioned above, Deng Xiaoping finally put forward the important thought of "two transformations" at the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission on June 4, 1985.

In his speech, Deng Xiaoping systematically reviewed the Chinese Communist Party’s understanding of the international situation and foreign policy formulation, and concluded: "Based on these analyses of the world trend and the analysis of our surrounding environment, we have changed our original view that the danger of war is imminent." [1](p.127) "We don’t play other people’s cards in China, and we don’t allow anyone to play China cards. We mean what we say." [1](p.128) In addition, he fully affirmed the great significance of the "two transformations". He stressed that these "two major changes" are correct, "enhancing China’s position in the international arena and enhancing China’s right to speak on international issues", and are also beneficial to "our opening-up policy", "accelerating our development" and "using the international peaceful environment to absorb more useful things for us". Accordingly, he confidently put forward: "As long as we adhere to such judgments and policies, we can boldly and wholeheartedly carry out our four modernizations." [1](p.128)

(B) the "two changes" diplomatic thought of contemporary China’s far-reaching impact.

As an important thought of the Chinese Communist Party in foreign policy and national strategy in the new period, the proposal of the diplomatic thought of "two transformations" has had a far-reaching impact on contemporary China.

First, under the guidance of this idea, the China government made a major decision to disarm one million people. The second generation of central collective leadership of the Communist Party of China with Deng Xiaoping as the core, marked by the diplomatic thought of "two transformations", strengthened the important judgment that the world war could not be fought for a long time. It is on the basis of this idea that the China government made a major decision to disarm one million people. Since then, the practice has also proved that "one million disarmament" is not only an important strategic decision for China’s army building in the new era, but also won a wide range of good responses for China in the international arena. [11](pp.251-252)

Secondly, under the guidance of this thought, the China administration has completed the adjustment of its foreign policy in the new period and created a new situation in China’s diplomatic work in the new period. Under the guidance of the diplomatic thought of "two transformations", the Fourth Session of the Sixth National People’s Congress held in 1986 comprehensively expounded China’s independent foreign policy of peace in the new period from ten aspects. This shows that China has basically completed the adjustment of its foreign policy in the new period. Since then, in accordance with the above foreign policy, the China government has resolutely adjusted its strategy of "one line" and "one large area", constantly improved and developed its relations with major countries, and established and developed diplomatic relations with all countries in the world on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. China’s international status and reputation have become higher and higher, and more and more friends have been made, thus creating a new situation in China’s diplomacy in the new era. [12]

Third, under the guidance of this thought, the concept of the strategic opportunity period of the CPC has been nurtured and developed and matured. Following the development logic of the diplomatic thought of "two transformations", by the end of 1980s, Deng Xiaoping finally formed an important judgment that the Chinese nation had met "a rare opportunity for development". In his view, there are two basic points of this judgment. Namely: the Chinese nation has encountered a once-in-a-century development opportunity; Chinese should cheer up and seize this opportunity to develop China. Since then, the "strategic opportunity period" has become an important basis for the CCP to analyze, judge and make decisions on the world trend; All previous congresses of the Communist Party of China have also deepened their understanding and grasp of this concept in accordance with the constantly developing and changing international situation. For example, while emphasizing that "China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities that can make great achievements", the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further put forward that "we should accurately judge the changes in the connotation and conditions of the important period of strategic opportunities". [13] Practice has proved that the concept of strategic opportunity period conceived under the guidance of the thought of "two transformations" and its continuous development and maturity not only mean that the CPC has a more sober historical consciousness of China’s current historical position and historical opportunities, but also have a great impetus to the modernization and reform and opening up of contemporary China.

(C) the "two changes" in the diplomatic thinking of enlightenment

To sum up, after entering the new era, under the background of profound changes at home and abroad, the second generation of central leading collective of the Communist Party of China with Deng Xiaoping at the core, relying on rich political experience and keen insight, on the basis of inheriting the international strategies of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, closely focused on how to understand the relationship between China and the world, and how to understand the international situation and formulate what kind of foreign policies, sized up the situation and drew up the overall situation. It not only accurately grasped the trend of the times and the general trend of the world behind the great changes at home and abroad, but also formed a series of important strategic judgments that profoundly influenced contemporary China. Undoubtedly, this historical process fully explains the strategic wisdom and decision-making ability of the second generation of the CPC Central Leading Group with Deng Xiaoping at the core, which is also an important inspiration for us to sort out this period of history. In this regard, the supreme leader once spoke highly of it. He said: How did the reform and opening up come about? It is crucial that our party correctly judges the general trend of the world. As a result of making a correct judgment on the general trend of the world, our party has established the understanding that peace and development are the themes of the times, and only with the transfer of the work center of the party and the state can a new era of reform and opening up be opened.
