In the language of computing, rebooting refers to a process of restarting a computer "by causing an operating system to load in the memory." The emphasis is on the activation of a "fixed sequence of instructions to load the operating system of a computer" (1953) (here). Rebooting is everywhere--not just in computer systems, but n systems generally, and increasingly in the construction of the core premises on which society is operated, that is on the core set of instructions that constitute not just the loading of operating instructions but also the elaboration of the form and content of the instructions themselves.
Film making and literature has been in the vanguard in developing the social structures within which rebooting is both undertaken and increasingly accepted as an important means of "reform" or reformulation." In this context it is critically important to have in mind the difference between remaking and rebooting. "A reboot is defined by those in the industry as a complete rebranding of a specific title or IP. A remake is defined as a complete retelling of the same story and characters that a studio buys the rights to."The difference is important. In one case one accepts the basic premises and forms as the operating system within which actions (or stories) may be retold without foundational change. In the other, the basic premises are the object of reform. Underlying this shift in reboot tolerance is the realization of the notion that control is not attained by managing "software" but by developing and managing the operating system itself.

It is in this sense that while all are focused on the physical elements of warfare in Ukraine (for our purposes here a necessary or useful distraction), others see in that "software" battle, the opportunity to reboot the system with new operating instructions within which it is possible to control, discern, and curate, the "software fronts" themselves. Or put differently, and in context, while the United States and Russia battle to remake Europe on the bodies and within the territories now known as Ukraine, the Chinese appear to be using that remake as the system critical failure that make permit them to reboot the system of international relations (and with it its law-policy structures ad sensibilities). To the extent they are successful--the Americans and Ukrainians may win the battle of Ukraine, but the Chinese will win the war for the control of the international operating system. Thus while the US and its allies wring their hands about increasing flows of military aid to Russia (the idea that this is only now important is implausible but useful in the current propaganda environment, eg here) the Chinese are hunting much larger game.
To that end, and as promised in statements made at the 2023 Munich Security Conference, the Chinese side has now distributed (notably in English and thus for foreign consumption) its Global Security Initiative Concept Paper; original Chinese version (全球安全倡议概念文件) here. As reported in Chinese press organs:
China on Tuesday released The Global Security Initiative Concept Paper, which expounds core concepts and principles of the Global Security Initiative (GSI), lays out 20 priorities of cooperation and five platforms and mechanisms of cooperation. It plays an action-oriented guiding role. The release of the concept paper marks an important step for China in putting its previously proposed GSI into practice, demonstrating China's responsibility for maintaining world peace and its firm determination to safeguard global security. At a historical crossroads, as new cold war clouds are hanging over the world, the concept paper is another major public good offered by China to the world, a Chinese solution to solve the systemic security dilemma, and a new exploration for human society, with crucial historical significance.

It is not like the Chinese have been hiding their intention. Chinese internationalism has been high on the national agenda for more than a decade. Its effects have already been felt in the UN system. And its focus on development, a hierarchically based system of security bounded by ideals of territorial buffers between leading states (though still imperfect given facts on the ground), and vertically arranged systems of dependence-reward (the win-win strategy) promises to remake the international order in quite interesting ways. More immediately, it offers a set of internationalist justifications for the partitioning of Ukraine, and its reconstitution not necessary as a sovereign state but as a space for neutrality between the outer bands of the Chinese imperial space (through its Russian misbehaving dependency) and that of the United States (through its more rambunctious European frontiers).

And yet neither is the threat impossible, nor implausible. And, at least for those still loyal to its structures and the principles, the effort to reboot ought to be taken quite seriously. Taking something seriously, though, does not necessarily produce a "rejectionist front"--that is simple minded and self-defeating. But it ought to cause those with responsibility for the protection of the Republic's core systems to have a close look and to seriously consider the effort and to respond in ways that serve the greater interests of the US and its allies in maintaining the current version of the system their ancestors put together after 1945. That response is not necessarily meant to be theatrical--though appropriate feeding of propaganda streams is likely useful. It is meant to seriously consider and appropriately profit from both the information harvested (the operating system needs adjustment if it is to survive into the next decade) and to maintain control of the programming process. At the moment, the initiative appears to have shifted to the Chinese side.
The English language version of the Global Security Initiative Concept Paper follows along with the full text of the original Chinese version (全球安全倡议概念文件（全文）).
The Global Security Initiative Concept Paper
2023-02-21 11:12I.Background
The issue of security bears on the well-being of people of all countries, the lofty cause of world peace and development, and the future of humanity.
Today, our world, our times and history are changing in ways like never before, and the international community is confronted with multiple risks and challenges rarely seen before. Regional security hotspots keep flaring up, local conflicts and turbulence occur frequently, the COVID-19 pandemic persists, unilateralism and protectionism have risen significantly, and traditional and non-traditional security threats are entwined. The deficits in peace, development, security and governance are growing, and the world is once again at a crossroads in history.
This is an era rife with challenges. It is also one brimming with hope. We are convinced that the historical trends of peace, development and win-win cooperation are unstoppable. Upholding world peace and security and promoting global development and prosperity should be the common pursuit of all countries. Chinese President Xi Jinping has proposed the Global Security Initiative (GSI), calling on countries to adapt to the profoundly changing international landscape in the spirit of solidarity, and address the complex and intertwined security challenges with a win-win mindset. The GSI aims to eliminate the root causes of international conflicts, improve global security governance, encourage joint international efforts to bring more stability and certainty to a volatile and changing era, and promote durable peace and development in the world.
II.Core concepts and principles
1. Stay committed to the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security. In 2014, President Xi Jinping initiated a new vision for common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, which has been widely recognized and supported by the international community. The essence of this new vision of security is to advocate a concept of common security, respecting and safeguarding the security of every country; a holistic approach, maintaining security in both traditional and non-traditional domains and enhancing security governance in a coordinated way; a commitment to cooperation, bringing about security through political dialogue and peaceful negotiation; and pursuit of sustainable security, resolving conflicts through development and eliminating the breeding ground for insecurity. We believe security will only be firmly established and sustainable when it is underpinned by morality, justice and the right ideas.
2. Stay committed to respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. Sovereign equality and non-interference in internal affairs are basic principles of international law and the most fundamental norms governing contemporary international relations. We believe all countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community. Their internal affairs brook no external interference, their sovereignty and dignity must be respected, and their right to independently choose social systems and development paths must be upheld. Sovereign independence and equality must be upheld, and efforts should be made for all countries to enjoy equality in terms of rights, rules and opportunities.
3. Stay committed to abiding by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. The purposes and principles of the UN Charter embody the deep reflection by people around the world on the bitter lessons of the two world wars. They are humanity’s institutional design for collective security and lasting peace. The various confrontations and injustices in the world today did not occur because the purposes and principles of the UN Charter are outdated, but because they are not effectively maintained and implemented. We call on all countries to practice true multilateralism; firmly uphold the international system with the UN at its core, the international order underpinned by international law and the basic norms of international relations underpinned by the UN Charter; and uphold the authority of the UN and its status as the main platform for global security governance. The Cold War mentality, unilateralism, bloc confrontation and hegemonism contradict the spirit of the UN Charter and must be resisted and rejected.
4. Stay committed to taking the legitimate security concerns of all countries seriously. Humanity is an indivisible security community. Security of one country should not come at the expense of that of others. We believe all countries are equal in terms of security interests. The legitimate and reasonable security concerns of all countries should be taken seriously and addressed properly, not persistently ignored or systemically challenged. Any country, while pursuing its own security, should take into account the reasonable security concerns of others. We uphold the principle of indivisible security, advocating 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. There should be a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture, so as to realize universal security and common security.
5. Stay committed to peacefully resolving differences and disputes between countries through dialogue and consultation. War and sanctions are no fundamental solution to disputes; only dialogue and consultation are effective in resolving differences. We call on countries to strengthen strategic communication, enhance mutual security confidence, diffuse tensions, manage differences and eliminate the root causes of crises. Major countries must uphold justice, fulfill their due responsibilities, support consultation on an equal footing, and facilitate talks for peace, play good offices and mediate in light of the needs and will of the countries concerned. The international community should support all efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of crises, and encourage conflicting parties to build trust, settle disputes and promote security through dialogue. Abusing unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction does not solve a problem, but only creates more difficulties and complications.
6. Stay committed to maintaining security in both traditional and non-traditional domains. In today’s world, both the intension and extension of security are broadening. Security is more interconnected, transnational and diverse. Traditional and non-traditional security threats have become intertwined. We encourage all countries to practice the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits in global governance, and work together to address regional disputes and global challenges such as terrorism, climate change, cybersecurity and biosecurity. There should be concerted efforts to explore multiple channels, develop a holistic solution, and improve relevant rules, so as to find sustainable solutions, promote global security governance and prevent and resolve security challenges.
These six commitments are interlinked and mutually reinforcing, and are an organic whole of dialectical unity. Among them, the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security provides conceptual guidance; respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries is the basic premise; abiding by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter is a primary benchmark; taking the legitimate security concerns of all countries seriously is an important principle, peacefully resolving differences and disputes between countries through dialogue and consultation is a must choice; and maintaining security in both traditional and non-traditional domains is an inherent requirement.
III. Priorities of cooperation
It is our common aspiration to achieve lasting world peace, so that all countries can enjoy a peaceful and stable external environment and their people can live a happy life with their rights fully guaranteed. Like passengers aboard the same ship, countries need to work in solidarity to foster a community of shared security for mankind and build a world that is free from fear and enjoys universal security.
To realize these visions, China is ready to conduct bilateral and multilateral security cooperation with all countries and international and regional organizations under the framework of the Global Security Initiative, and actively promote coordination of security concepts and convergence of interests. China calls on all parties to carry out single or multiple cooperation in aspects including but not limited to the following ones, so as to pursue mutual learning and complementarity and to jointly promote world peace and tranquility:

China is willing to provide other developing countries with 5,000 training opportunities in the next five years to train professionals for addressing global security issues.
The GSI, following the principle of openness and inclusiveness, welcomes and looks forward to the participation of all parties to jointly enrich its substance and actively explore new forms and areas of cooperation. China stands ready to work with all countries and peoples who love peace and aspire to happiness to address all kinds of traditional and non-traditional security challenges, protect the peace and tranquility of the earth, and jointly create a better future for mankind, so that the torch of peace will be passed on from generation to generation and shine across the world.
全球安全倡议概念文件
一、背景
安全问题事关各国人民的福祉，事关世界和平与发展的崇高事业，事关人类的前途命运。
当前，世界之变、时代之变、历史之变正以前所未有的方式展开，国际社会正经历罕见的多重风险挑战。地区安全热点问题此起彼伏，局部冲突和动荡频发，新冠疫情延宕蔓延，单边主义、保护主义明显上升，各种传统和非传统安全威胁交织叠加。和平赤字、发展赤字、安全赤字、治理赤字加重，世界又一次站在历史的十字路口。
我们所处的是一个充满挑战的时代，也是一个充满希望的时代。我们深信，和平、发展、合作、共赢的历史潮流不可阻挡。维护国际和平安全、促进全球发展繁荣，应该成为世界各国的共同追求。中国国家主席习近平提出全球安全倡议，倡导以团结精神适应深刻调整的国际格局，以共赢思维应对复杂交织的安全挑战，旨在消弭国际冲突根源、完善全球安全治理，推动国际社会携手为动荡变化的时代注入更多稳定性和确定性，实现世界持久和平与发展。
二、核心理念与原则
（一）坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观。习近平主席2014年首次提出共同、综合、合作、可持续的新安全观，赢得国际社会普遍响应和广泛认同。这一安全观的核心内涵，就是主张秉持共同安全理念，尊重和保障每一个国家的安全；主张重视综合施策，统筹维护传统领域和非传统领域安全，协调推进安全治理；主张坚持合作之道，通过政治对话、和平谈判来实现安全；主张寻求可持续安全，通过发展化解矛盾，消除不安全的土壤。我们认为，只有基于道义和正确理念的安全，才是基础牢固、真正持久的安全。
（二）坚持尊重各国主权、领土完整。主权平等和不干涉内政是国际法基本原则和现代国际关系最根本准则。我们主张国家不分大小、强弱、贫富，都是国际社会的平等一员，各国内政不容干涉，主权和尊严必须得到尊重，自主选择发展道路和社会制度的权利必须得到维护。应坚持主权独立平等，推动各国权利平等、规则平等、机会平等。
（三）坚持遵守联合国宪章宗旨和原则。联合国宪章宗旨和原则承载着世界人民对两次世界大战惨痛教训的深刻反思，凝结了人类实现集体安全、永久和平的制度设计。当今世界发生的各种对抗和不公，不是因为联合国宪章宗旨和原则过时了，而是由于其未能得到有效维护和履行。我们呼吁共同践行真正的多边主义，坚定维护以联合国为核心的国际体系、以国际法为基础的国际秩序、以联合国宪章宗旨和原则为基础的国际关系基本准则，维护联合国权威及其在全球安全治理中的主要平台地位。冷战思维、单边主义、阵营对抗、霸权主义与联合国宪章精神相违背，应当受到抵制和反对。
（四）坚持重视各国合理安全关切。人类是不可分割的安全共同体，一国安全不应以损害他国安全为代价。我们认为，各国安全利益都是彼此平等的。任何国家的正当合理安全关切都应得到重视和妥善解决，不应被长期忽视和系统性侵犯。任何国家在谋求自身安全时都应兼顾其他国家合理安全关切。我们主张秉持安全不可分割原则，倡导自身安全与共同安全不可分割，传统安全与非传统安全不可分割，安全权利与安全义务不可分割，安全与发展不可分割，构建均衡、有效、可持续的安全架构，从而实现普遍安全、共同安全。
（五）坚持通过对话协商以和平方式解决国家间的分歧和争端。战争和制裁不是解决争端的根本之道，对话协商才是化解分歧的有效途径。我们呼吁加强国家间战略沟通，增进安全互信，化解矛盾，管控分歧，消除危机产生的根源。大国应坚持公道正义，承担应尽责任，支持平等协商，根据当事国需要和愿望劝和促谈、斡旋调停。国际社会应支持一切有利于和平解决危机的努力，鼓励冲突各方以对话建互信、解纷争、促安全。滥用单边制裁和“长臂管辖”不但解决不了问题，反而会制造更多困难和复杂因素。
（六）坚持统筹维护传统领域和非传统领域安全。当前，安全的内涵和外延更加丰富，呈现更加突出的联动性、跨国性、多样性，传统安全威胁和非传统安全威胁相互交织。我们倡导各国践行共商共建共享的全球治理观，共同应对地区争端和恐怖主义、气候变化、网络安全、生物安全等全球性问题，多管齐下、综合施策，完善规则，携手寻求长远解决之道，推进全球安全治理，防范化解安全困境。
上述“六个坚持”彼此联系、相互呼应，是辩证统一的有机整体。其中，坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观是理念指引，坚持尊重各国主权、领土完整是基本前提，坚持遵守联合国宪章宗旨和原则是根本遵循，坚持重视各国合理安全关切是重要原则，坚持通过对话协商以和平方式解决国家间的分歧和争端是必由之路，坚持统筹维护传统领域和非传统领域安全是应有之义。
三、重点合作方向
实现世界持久和平，让每一个国家享有和平稳定的外部环境，让每一个国家的人民都能安居乐业，人民权利得到充分保障，是我们的共同愿望。各国需要同舟共济、团结协作，构建人类安全共同体，携手建设一个远离恐惧、普遍安全的世界。
为实现上述愿景，中方将在全球安全倡议框架下开展与世界各国和国际、地区组织的双多边安全合作，积极推进安全理念对接和利益共融。我们倡导各方在包括但不限于以下方面积极开展单项或多项合作，与中方的努力互补互促，共同促进世界和平安宁。
（一）积极参与联合国秘书长“我们的共同议程”报告关于制定“新和平纲领”等建议的工作。支持联合国加大预防冲突努力，充分发挥建设和平架构的作用，帮助冲突后国家开展建设和平工作。进一步发挥中国－联合国和平与发展基金秘书长和平与安全子基金作用，支持联合国在全球安全事务中发挥更大作用。
支持联合国提高维和行动履行授权能力，坚持当事方同意、保持中立、非自卫或履行授权不使用武力的维和行动三原则，坚持政治优先，综合施策，标本兼治。维和行动应获得充足资源，支持为非盟自主和平行动提供充足、可预测、可持续的资金支持。
（二）促进大国协调和良性互动，推动构建和平共处、总体稳定、均衡发展的大国关系格局。大国在维护国际和平与安全上承担特殊重要责任。倡导大国带头讲平等、讲诚信、讲合作、讲法治，带头遵守《联合国宪章》和国际法。坚持相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢，坚守不冲突不对抗的底线，求同存异、管控分歧。
（三）坚决维护“核战争打不赢也打不得”共识。遵守2022年1月五核国领导人发表的《关于防止核战争与避免军备竞赛的联合声明》，加强核武器国家对话合作，降低核战争风险。维护以《不扩散核武器条约》为基石的国际核不扩散体系，积极支持有关地区国家建立无核武器区。促进核安全国际合作，建立公平、合作、共赢的国际核安全体系。
（四）全面落实第76届联大通过的“在国际安全领域促进和平利用国际合作”决议。
在联合国安理会防扩散委员会、《禁止化学武器公约》、《禁止生物武器公约》等框架下开展合作，推动全面禁止和彻底销毁大规模杀伤性武器，提升各国防扩散出口管制、生物安全、化武防护等方面能力水平。
支持全球常规武器军控进程。支持在尊重非洲国家意愿的前提下开展中国、非洲、欧洲轻小武器管控合作，支持落实“消弭非洲枪声”倡议。积极开展人道主义扫雷国际合作及援助，为雷患国家提供更多力所能及的帮助。
（五）推动政治解决国际和地区热点问题。鼓励当事国坚持通过坦诚对话沟通，化解分歧，寻求热点问题的解决之道。支持国际社会在不干涉内政前提下，以劝和促谈为主要方式，以公平务实为主要态度，以标本兼治为主要思路，建设性参与热点问题政治解决。支持通过对话谈判政治解决乌克兰危机等热点问题。
（六）支持和完善以东盟为中心的地区安全合作机制和架构，秉持协商一致、照顾各方舒适度等“东盟方式”，加强地区国家间的安全对话与合作。支持在澜沧江－湄公河合作框架下推进非传统安全领域合作，通过澜湄合作专项基金实施相关合作项目，努力打造全球安全倡议实验区，共同维护地区和平稳定。
（七）落实实现中东安全稳定的五点倡议，倡导相互尊重，坚持公平正义，实现核不扩散，共建集体安全，加快发展合作，共同推动构建中东安全新架构。支持中东国家加强对话、改善关系的积极势头和努力，照顾各方合理安全关切，壮大维护地区安全的内生力量，支持阿拉伯国家联盟等区域组织为此发挥建设性作用。国际社会应采取实际步骤推进巴勒斯坦问题“两国方案”，召开更大规模、更有权威、更有影响的国际和会，推动巴勒斯坦问题早日得到公正解决。
