走向伟大复兴的中国地缘战略：国家周边论

With the rise of critical geopolitics, the debate about classical geostrategic theory once became the focus of academic research. The proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative also stirred debate on whether One Belt One Road is China's current global geopolitical strategy. The Covid-19 superimposed on the great decoupling between China and the United States, makes it extremely urgent for China to adjust and formulate a new geostrategy in line with the current overall geo-environmental situation. This is related to the realization of the two centenary goals and national rejuvenation. This paper attempts to reinterpret classical geopolitics, by borrowing the concept of intersubjectivity from philosophy and the research results on intersubjectivity in a variety of specific philosophical morphologies. After summing up the inherent characteristics of classical geopolitics, this paper proceeds to refute the view which holds that China's Belt and Road initiative is its geostrategy. Instead, it analyzes global geo-environment, Sino-American relations and China's geo-environment in the implicit framework constructed by classical geopolitical strategy, and proposes China's geopolitical strategy in the first half of this century called the National Neighborland Theory. However, we should recognize that for both China and the United States, continued confrontation in the Chinese periphery or, worse still, conflicts on a global scale is detrimental to both parties and even the world. Both nations must step out of the inter-subjective consensus taking shape in the long course of history that all powers are bound to seek hegemony. Moreover, they shall step further into a virtuous circle of mutual interaction via dialogs and exchanges, so as to terminate conflicts in today's world for the sake of peaceful development, and to construct a community of shared future for mankind.
