Abstract: The world is undergoing great changes that have never been seen for decades. The security, economy and great powers' co-opetition are the key factors having an effect on how the international system will evolve. In terms of the security, the world has been and will be very likely to be in peace for a period of time. As for the economy, globalization is under pressure to some extent, but the cross-border flows of digital economies show that it has never stopped. The co-opetition between China and the U.S. is the key factor that will make a difference to the international situation. Races between these two superpowers have been intensified, but it is unlikely that a new Cold War will happen. Overall, the international situation is evolving faster. Only by rationality and coordination of great powers and reasonable reforms of the international regime will the evolution go smoothly.

Keywords: international pattern, logic of security, logic of economy, logic of co-opetition
