The Correct Perspective on the Overall Situation

Xi Jinping elaborated on the correct perspective on the overall situation at the Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs in June 2018. He said, "With the correct perspective on the overall situation, one will not only note the phenomena and the details, but also capture the essence and see the whole picture, and understand the principal problems and their fundamental nature. One can thereby avoid getting lost in or attending to trifles, to the detriment of essentials in the complicated, changing international situation."

Previously he had reiterated that "in the face of a changing situation, a basic approach is to follow the trend of multi-polarization and economic globalization, understand the global pursuit of peace and development, and seek mutually beneficial cooperation." Only with the correct perspective on the overall situation can we fully understand that peace and development remain the call of the times, and that the problems arising around the world today are merely results of a failure to understand correctly the trend of peace and development.

正確大局觀

2018年6月，習近平在中央外事工作會議上指出：“所謂正確大局觀，就是不僅要看到現象和細節怎么樣，而且要把握本質和全局，抓住主要矛盾和矛盾的主要方面， 避免在林林總總、紛紜多變的國際亂象中迷失方向、舍本逐末。”習近平此前也曾多次強調：“面對變局，最根本的是把握世界多極化、經濟全球化發展的必然趨勢，抓住各國人民對和平與發展的共同訴求，走合作共贏道路。”只有樹立正確大局觀，我們才能清楚認識到，和平與發展仍然是時代主題，當今世界出現的各種亂象都是和平與發展這個主題沒有解決好的反映。
