Entering the new century, Jiang Zemin incisively analyzed the contemporary international situation, especially the situation in which the world multipolarization and economic globalization are developing in twists and turns, especially the situation in which scientific and technological progress is changing with each passing day and the competition of comprehensive national strength is becoming increasingly fierce. He thinks the situation is urgent. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Only by accelerating its development can China be in a favorable position in the fierce international competition, not be marginalized and be in an invincible position.
Therefore, we must strive for a long-term international peaceful environment for China's development, especially the important strategic opportunity period in which we can make great achievements in the first decade or two of the 20th century. We have made strategic adjustments with great foresight and put forward the historical task of safeguarding world peace and promoting common development.
