After the global financial crisis since 2008,the international economic rules entered a new stage of adjustment.International organizations and major economies are all attempting to introduce rules that align with their own interests to enhance governance discourse during this adjustment period.This study first reviews the changes in the international economic order since World War II and the characteristics and evolution of international economic rules in different periods.From the perspective of the formulation and implementation of various rules,regulations and standards,the alternating priority between efficiency and safety is identified as a crucial underlying logic leading to the evolution of international economic rules.It proposes a path for the reconstruction of international economic rules from four aspects:multilateral systems,regional organizations,free trade zones,and micro entities'standards.It points out that the reconstruction of international economic rules faces conflicts between domestic sovereignty protection and international rule constraints,as well as inconsistencies in long-term and short-term interests.China's participation in the reconstruction of international economic rules confronts the challenges of breaking through the Western containment and balancing long-term and short-term interests.China needs to steadfastly adhere to the concept of building a community of shared future for humanity,adjust its strategies for participating in international economic rule negotiations,promote the reform of the multilateral governance,and put forward a Chinese proposal for the construction of a just and reasonable global economic order.
