Abstract
Since entering the 21st century, humanity has shown solidarity in the face of global security threats and challenges, as manifested by the joint
response to SARS epidemic in 2003, the global financial crisis in 2008, Islamic State terrorist organization from 2014 to 2017 and others. However, as the U.S. has turned to major country competition on all fronts, humanity is shifting from cooperation to confrontation in global security governance. This is evident in the deep divisions over COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2022. The Russia-Ukraine conflict shows that geopolitical rivalry has once again taken the center stage of international politics. The deficit of trust, development, governance
and peace on a global scale has become more prominent, and division and confrontation are putting the world in jeopardy. Through the conflict we see the fragility of the global security governance system and the possibility of security issues spiraling out of control. The breakout of high-intensity local wars cannot be ruled out. That begs the question, how the security and development of humanity can be ensured? It will be difficult to ensure stable development of the world without respect for the legitimate security interests of all countries. Therefore, to rebuild trust, resolve dilemma, strengthen cooperation, and advance governance and system building on security issues should top the agenda of global governance.
