南南聯合自強：年屆“知命”，路在何方——國際經濟秩序破舊立新的中國之聲

Global South: at 50 and beyond - The Voice from China on Reforming OIEO and Establishing NIEO

全球南南聯合自強事業，如果從1964年77國集團創建起算，於今正好步入知天命的人生階段。半個世紀以來，為了實現國際經濟秩序和國際經濟法的破舊立新，從而爭取更加公平公正的國際發展環境，全球南方國家通力合作，集體行動，在諸如國際貿易、國際投資和國際金融各領域均取得了可觀成就，也遭遇了不少困難；有過高潮迭起，也有過持續低迷。中國儒家傳統智慧提倡每十年即進行一次全面的人生反思，總結經驗，以為未來改善自我、不息自強之借鑒。個人如此，群體亦然。全球南方國家在年屆知命這個歷史節點，顯有必要回顧、梳理南南聯合事業過往的成就和困難，用戰略眼光重新審視曾經的高潮和低迷，並結合當前的國際經濟新形勢，避免戰略短視，重新堅定理念自信和道路自信，在知天命之後，整裝重新出發，邁步走上新的征程，爭取新的成就。中國學人，身處和平崛起之鄉，在這個歷史節點，將中國在南南聯合事業中的傳統自我定位實踐，加以梳理總結，獻與世人共享，互相策勵，更是應盡的時代天職。值得重視的是，2008年以來，中國率先積極參與和推動金磚國家為國際經濟秩序破舊立新鼓與呼，此種創舉，正在不斷走向新高度，2014年又在國際金融體制方面獲得引人矚目的實質性突破，成功組建金磚開發銀行，獨樹一幟，挑戰世界銀行，猶如風起於青萍之末，其可能的蝴蝶效應，確實不容小覷，並為南南聯合自強之光明前途，平添了新的有力佐證。

The great career of Global South-South Coalition (SSC) has just entered its fifties, if we take the establishment of Group 77 in 1964 as its origin. For half century, in order to eradicate the unfairness and injustice embedded in the old international economic order and legal rules, to fight for a better development environment, through wholehearted cooperation and joint action, the Global South has won some achievements, yet not without encountering a number of difficulties. For the past five decades, the course of SSC has seen its ups and downs. Confucian philosophy of China advocates for a comprehensive self-reflection every decade, so as to comb the past experience for the sake of future self-improvement. At this historical turning point, it is of necessity to retrospect SSC's past accomplishments and difficulties. Contemporary international economic circumstances should also be combined to revalue those ups and downs, so as to re-affirm the confidence of this long-term strategy, and to avoid tactical short¬sightedness. In this way, the career of Global SSC could absorb the learned wisdom and rebuild the original confidence, then ready to sail out once again for new accomplishments at the age of 'knowing the decrees of Heaven'. For Chinese scholars, it is also necessary and a responsibility to retrospect the New China's self-position on the course of SSC, so as to provide another kind of experience from the aspect of an involving developing country. It is noteworthy to point out that China has since 2008 taken the lead in participating and promoting the BRICS countries' activities to applaud and embrace the reformation of OIEO. Such pioneering undertaking has reached a new height, as in 2014 the world has seen a substantial breakthrough in reforming the international financial regime. The New Development Bank of BRICS countries is expected to usher in a whole new system to compete with the World Bank and IMF, which could be taken as a newly generated breeze that is now gently blowing from the above of duckweed ('風起於青萍之末'）, with a possibility to start a chain reaction and to cause the Butterfly Effect, and evolves eventually into a powerful hurricane. Such metaphor is also a powerful evidence for a possible bright future of the course of South-South collective self-reliance.
