3 The Principle of Indivisible Security and Its Implementation
Pathways—— Exploration of the Global Security Initiative
LIU Shengxiang and TANG Tanqi
[Abstract] The principle of indivisible security is an important principle of the Global
Security Initiative. This concept has gone through four stages of development:
indivisibility of peace, indivisibility of European security, indivisibility of Russia-
Atlantic security, and indivisibility of global security. Theoretically, it advocates the
indivisibility of inter-subjective security, the indivisibility of Security Risk Complex,
and the indivisibility of a global security society. Practically, it advocates the
indivisibility between individual security and common security, between traditional
security and non-traditional security, between security rights and security obligations,
and between security and development. The Global Security Initiative is based on a
balanced, effective, and sustainable security architecture aimed at promoting the
indivisible and universal security for the international community through
threat-driven, interest-driven, and identity-driven approaches. The principle of
indivisible security reflects the core values of the Global Security Initiative, which
are China’s efforts to contribute to world peace, prosperity, and stability.

29 Militarization of Starlink and Its Impact on Global Strategic Stability
ZHANG Huang and DU Yanyun
[Abstract] The United States is advancing the militarization of Starlink, which poses
serious challenges to outer space security and global strategic stability. Therefore, it
is of great necessity to conduct early research and assessments of its potential risks.
Compared with traditional outer space equipment, Starlink is equipped with
multi-dimensional and integrated capacities to cover the battlefield network, an
integrated function capable of extending the entire chain of destruction, and an
advantage in information warfare oriented towards actual combats. It will exert three
major impacts on the pattern of global strategic stability. Firstly, it will undermine
first-strike stability in that Starlink not only strengthens the United States’
preemptive strike capabilities, but also makes up for the inherent vulnerabilities of
US military space assets, which greatly enhances the overall US space offensive and
defensive capacities. Secondly, Starlink will exert great influence on crisis stability
due to the fact that it would exacerbate the risk of an “accidental war” in outer space.
