Abstract:

Now people are quite concerned with the discussion of the world framework after the cold war. It is not purely an argument about the theory of international relations among scholars for the mono -polarization or multi - polarization. It is an objective requirement, and also an objective formulation and a subjective response to the variety of world paradigm and world framework in the post cold - war period. Any kind of description about a new world framework contains its objectivity, various value orientations, subjective predictions, and policy orientations. The multi - polarization in the 21st century will offer a lot of new features. The multi - polarization of international politics has become a developing tendency of history, which is independent of people' s will. Facing the trend of economic globalization and-political multi - polarization, China should grasp the opportunities of entering WTO and shaping the international alliance of anti - terrorism, keeping a prudential rein on the relations between China and U. S. A., between China and Russia, between China and Japan, and between China and neighboring Asian countries, and concentrating her forces to realize the "Three Great Tasks".

Key words: world framework, multi - polarization, China's foreign affairs
