Key middle countries possess significant economic scale,substantial development potential,relatively robust international political influence,and they desire to play a leading role on specific international issues.In the midst of accelerating changes unseen in a century and escalating competitions among major countries,key middle countries are actively and flexibly engaging in multi-alignment diplomacy.Although key middle countries have strengthened military ties with the United States,they generally refuse to join the military camp of the United States to contain China and Russia.Their economic relations with the United States have improved.At the same time,they have not fundamentally changed the pace of economic cooperation with China and Russia.They enjoy closer strategic ties with the United States,and they have made even greater progress in strategic cooperation with China and Russia to lead the common development of the Global South.The decisive reasons why key middle countries implement multi-alignment diplomacy are their disappointment to the United States and the Western countries,their desire for cooperation with China and Russia and their confidence in the multi-polarization of the international order.The multi-alignment diplomacy of key middle countries has led to a rise of the new non-alignment movement in the Global South,providing China and Russia ample room to maneuver in the face of the strategic containment of the United States.The intensity and destructive degree of competitions among major countries have also been greatly weakened,making multi-polarization easier to realize in the world.While there is a bright future for multi-alignment diplomacy among key middle countries,it will be an arduous road that requires more patience and efforts.
