世纪之交,我国面临的国际形势日益复杂。一方面,世界多极化趋势继续发展,国际局势总体上趋向缓和,和平与发展仍然是当今世界的两大主题。我国完全有可能争取一个较长时期的和平环境,加快现代化建设。另一方面,冷战思维仍然存在。霸权主义、强权政治有新的发展。极少数西方发达国家一刻也没有放弃对我国实行“西化”、“分化”的图谋, At the turn of the century, the international situation facing our country is increasingly complicated. On the one hand, the world’s multi-polarization trend continues to develop. The international situation as a whole tends to ease. Peace and development remain the two major themes in the world today. It is entirely possible for our country to strive for a peaceful environment for a longer period of time and speed up its modernization drive. On the other hand, the Cold War mentality still exists. Hegemonism and power politics have new developments. Very few western developed countries momentarily gave up their attempt to “westernize” and “divide” our country.
