ABSTRACT
With the apparent changes in the global situation in the last two decades and the remarkable improvement of China's comprehensive national power, to cope with the ever-changing world community and expand its influence, this paper attempts to explain a new regional cooperation mechanism under the leadership of China, that is, “collaborative security model”. The feasibility and infeasibility reflected by the application of this model in East Asia is the focus of this paper. As a new mode of cooperation, it has two sides, and it needs to find and improve defects while being affirmed. Based on seeking to ease the contradictions among big countries to the greatest extent, it pursues equal participation in governance and cooperation among countries. This is an accurate grasp of fundamental contradictions, and it is also the embodiment of Chinese morality and responsibility. Of course, the influence of contradictions among major powers on inter-regional cooperation is emphasized in this model, which is also one of the difficulties to be faced in its implementation. In addition, the unique characteristics of East Asia need to be taken into account, such as similar cultural traditions and numerous historical controversies. If China can explore a more fair and scientific regional cooperation mechanism while meeting its development needs, it is worth looking forward to.
