The US Institute of Peace published on 4 May 2023 an analysis titled "Xi Ramps Up Campaign for a Post-Pax Americana Security Order" by Carla Freeman and Alex Stephenson.
Xi Jinping's Global Security Initiative (GSI) aims to promote a vision of an alternative to the U.S.-led international order. Beijing seeks to normalize a role for itself as a source of global security. It is promoting a set of principles for international security that reinforce its preferred norms and priorities, particularly the principle of noninterference and the prioritization of strong state authority to preserve domestic security as the bedrock of a new global security order.
While the GSI has gained traction with some states and Beijing is making a special effort to enlist acceptance in the Global South, including Africa, many countries still see Washington as the world's leading strategic security partner.
