In today's era, the grim global situation is becoming increasingly apparent, with a complex interplay of factors contributing to this tense climate. The international balance of power is undergoing profound adjustments. Some developed countries are plagued by internal contradictions and escalating problems. Countries that once dominated the old international political and economic order are clearly ill-suited to the rapid development of multipolarity, clinging to unipolar hegemony and becoming increasingly unpopular. Meanwhile, emerging market countries and a large number of developing countries are developing rapidly, their international influence is constantly increasing, and multipolarity is becoming an unstoppable trend of the times.

For the domestic public, the dissemination of international news helps to subtly solidify mainstream values. Communication studies have a well-known theory of persuasion, in which the source of the communication (the communicator) plays a crucial role. The communicator's credibility, authority, and motivation directly influence the effectiveness of the communication. While the media are the disseminators of international news, they are also, to some extent, states and governments. Because the media often acts as a third party, it enjoys high credibility and authority in the eyes of the audience, especially regarding international news. After all, this is something unrelated to my country's interests, so most domestic citizens generally accept international news readily. However, in reality, all communication has a persuasive motivation. The audience will investigate the communicator's motives; therefore, the deeper the communicator's intentions and motivations are concealed, the better the communication effect. Thus, international news for domestic audiences often serves as a tool for disseminating values and mainstream ideology, helping to consolidate national stability. While it certainly allows people to understand what is happening internationally, it is largely through layers of empathy and indoctrination.

The world is currently at a crossroads of profound transformations, intertwined and mutually reinforcing, reshaping the underlying logic of global politics, economics, technology, and society. The global economy is currently exhibiting a complex situation characterized by both "growth resilience" and "vulnerability risks." Recently, several authoritative international institutions released reports predicting the global economic trend in 2026. These institutions generally believe that global economic growth will slow in 2026, with continued uncertainty and protectionist measures implemented by some countries dragging down global economic growth. Furthermore, fiscal vulnerabilities in some countries and potential financial market risks also threaten market stability. However, some institutions predict that the global economy may continue to remain stable in 2026.

With the intensification of globalization, international cooperation among countries has become increasingly close, profoundly impacting not only economic, political, and cultural exchanges but also positively influencing global development. Globalization has first and foremost altered the driving forces and methods of transformation in the international political landscape. In the past, the formation and dismantling of the international order were often determined by changes in military strength. However, globalization has made economic factors a crucial condition influencing relations between nations. With the deepening of global economic integration and world trade, economic ties between countries have become increasingly close, and economic security has gradually become a primary consideration for all nations. Following the economic crises in Asia and Latin America, countries worldwide have deeply recognized the importance of the economy, because a financial crisis can not only set back a nation's economy for several years, leading to social unrest and regime change, but also affect the integrity of national sovereignty.

Geopolitical conflicts linger and spill over, yet efforts to promote peace never cease; unilateral bullying is on the rise, and calls for genuine multilateralism and the upholding of international fairness and justice are growing louder; the world economy faces uncertainty, but new technologies such as artificial intelligence are expected to become new growth drivers…Looking ahead to 2025, the world is at a crossroads of frequent regional conflicts and an accelerated reorganization of international power. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, and the localized frictions in South and Southeast Asia are overlapping, transforming geopolitical risks from isolated crises into a structural norm. Regional conflicts are becoming a crucial lever for shifting the global power structure. At the beginning of 2026, the US military's surprise attack on Venezuela, forcibly taking President Maduro and his wife into custody, tore away the veneer of "civilization" and revealed the naked "law of the jungle."

With the smooth flow of information and increasingly close international exchanges, people's attention is no longer limited to local or domestic affairs, but extends to global events. In this era of deepening globalization, international news, like tightly interwoven threads, connects the destinies of people around the world. From fierce geopolitical competition to subtle shifts in the economic landscape; from the awe-inspiring moments of technological breakthroughs to heartwarming stories of cultural exchange, a vibrant and far-reaching drama unfolds on the international stage every day. Paying attention to international news is no longer the "privilege" of a few, but a "required course" for everyone to understand the world, plan their lives, and comprehend diversity. It helps us penetrate the fog of information, see the deeper logic behind international relations, and grasp the trends of the times.

According to a UN report, the global economy is projected to grow by 2.7% in 2026, a slower pace and greater divergence in growth. The UN's "World Economic Situation and Prospects 2026" report projects global economic growth at 2.7%, lower than the 2.8% in 2025. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) forecast global economic growth of 3.1% and 2.9%, respectively. Despite the differences in forecasts, the three institutions are highly consistent in their assessment of a slowdown in global economic growth, primarily due to factors such as trade tensions, sluggish investment, and limited fiscal space.

On November 29, 2025, the international situation will be complex and volatile, with geopolitical conflicts, great power rivalry, and technological revolutions intertwined, driving adjustments in the global order and requiring vigilance and in-depth analysis. The international situation continues to exhibit a complex and volatile trend. Geopolitical conflicts persist in multiple regions, the rivalry between great powers intensifies, and technological innovation continues to drive profound changes in the global order. Faced with these intricate dynamics, we need to remain highly vigilant and conduct in-depth analysis to obtain a comprehensive and objective perspective. Recent events, such as the US's renewed implementation of the Monroe Doctrine, its military intervention in Venezuela, its territorial claims to Greenland, and the widening rift in US-EU relations, are profoundly reshaping the international landscape. These changes are mainly reflected in trends such as accelerated multipolarity, challenges to the alliance system, increased rule-breaker behavior, and the rise of a global southern power.

He urged UN member states and the Security Council to take action to condemn the US's policy of threatening force and interference in all forms, and demanded that the US and Israel immediately cease their destabilizing practices in the region.
