The Security Environment around China and Relative Geopolitical Strategies

The national territory of China is very big. Both the sea and land boundaries are quite long and adjacent with many countries. This geographic characteristic provides enough geopolitical strategic space for the safety of China either in depth or on broad. On the other hand, it also adds a lot of complicated factors and difficulties to China's safety. In this paper, the boundary around China is divided into three parts from the angle of geopolitical point of view:North to Northwest part,West to South part and Southeast part. According to analysis of the evolution of these three geopolitical lines,this paper thinks that the overall trendy of the lines of Northwest and Southwest will be safe and relatively stable in some time from now on. While along the Southeast line there are many problems and the situation is severe and obscure. It is just the topical geopolitical line that affects China's safety. On this basis, this paper puts forward the geopolitical strategies of China's safety for the beginning of the 21th century: eg. depending on the North , stabilizing the West and defending the Southeast.
