After The Cold War, China's New Security Concept Theory Analysis

The international situation has undergone enormous and profound changes since the ending of the cold war. Peace and development has become the irreversible theme of the times .The global multi-polarization and the economic globalization are deepening. Therefore the interdependence among the countries is intensifying day after day .The harmonious relationship between various international social forces is expanding gradually and so is the situation of coexistence.
