infrastructures, preparing the way to transform the pattern of economic
growth and to upgrade the structure of industry. Meanwhile, China boasts
a vast market with numerous potential consumers, and the government
has a strong financial base and various regulatory policies. Once the
institutional obstacles are removed, China’s economic growth will be
greatly motivated by its domestic demands. With the implementation
of national strategies for innovation, China will give full support to
strategic industries, leading to a substantial growth in its scientific and
technological strength and innovation capacity. It will not only greatly
increase the content and quality of China’s economy, but also help China
move up from the bottom of international industrial chain to the upstream.
Then, China will take the upper hand in worldwide resource allocation
and division of labor.
Militarily, China will accelerate the modernization of its national
defense in response to complex and diversified security threats. Firstly,
although the cross-strait relations is easing in recent years, and the two
sides has put aside at the moment the dispute over sovereignty, yet the
Taiwan issue is unlikely to be solved very soon. Besides, there is the
potential for the issue to get intensified and altered by interference from
outside forces or changes in the internal political environment. What’s
more, the rampant activities of Tibetan separatists and East Turkistan
secessionists pose a huge threat to China’s national security and territorial
integrity. Secondly, as China goes global and further integrates into the
world, the boundary of its national interests is also expanding outward.
But China severely lacks the ability of strategic support and the military
means to defend its interests. In the new era, it will become an important
part of China’s strategic planning to protect and fulfill the growing
overseas interests. Finally, China is facing an increasingly complex
external security environment with soaring non-traditional security
threats, and an ever-increasing opposition military presence by traditional
powers. These means China has to shoulder a much heavier duty of
national security. Under the grand strategy of active defense, China will
step up the construction of national defense by improving the weaponry
and equipment, as well as the technological level and quality of the army.
In the future, the soft power of China will also grow rapidly. The scale
of China’s industrialization is unprecedented. It has not only achieved
sustained rapid economic growth and fundamental changes in social life,
