At the 2022 Boao Forum for Asia Annual Meeting, Chinese President Xi Jinping raised the Global Security Initiative (GSI). The GSI comes amid rising international tensions following the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, increased competition and pressure on China by the US and its allies. The emergence of GSI is in the policy of adjusting China's view of national security in the new context. GSI is said to be Xi Jinping's initiative, considered the “Chinese solution” to deal with the new security problem, and is China's move to deal with increasing comprehensive pressure from the US and the Western world. GSI is posing a number of challenges to the world, the region and Vietnam. The challenges mentioned above require Vietnam to identify, evaluate, forecast, react, and neutralize.
