Abstract
The traditional concept of Frontier mainly refers to the "hard frontier" composed of national land, sea and air. The interest frontier studied in this paper is not the traditional natural geographical frontier, but the frontier with national capacity as the core in international relation system. With the development of economic and technological globalization, new frontier concepts such as interest frontier, strategic frontier, cultural frontier and information frontier have emerged one after another. The form of frontier has been developing continuously. Its connotation covers many aspects of the country's political, economic, cultural, social, information, strategic interests, and so on. The extension of the national strength results in the expansion and fluctuation of national interests. In the context of globalization, it is a strategic need for all countries to further strengthen the national governance system and capacity-building. In the process of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, China urgently needs to increase the construction and development of its own interest frontier to form a global discourse expression of national interests.
