Although the Islamic State got severely damaged in 2019，it continued to exist as a terrorist organization，and was more closely associated with local terrorist forces in South Asia，Southeast Asia，Africa and other places，with a stronger connected effect of cross-regional violence and terrorism. At the same time，Al Qaeda is actively adjusting its strategy to accumulate strength and waiting for opportunities to take actions. Therefore，the situation of the international fight against terrorism remains grim and complex. Countries and regions along the Belt and Road Initiative（BRI），in particular，face increasingly serious security risks because of their complex geopolitical situation，sharp religious conflicts，incessant civil wars and frequent terrorist attacks. As a result，security risks to China’s overseas interests have become more serious. China should strengthen the “top-level design” and take General Secretary Xi Jinping’s vision of “building a community with a shared future for humanity” as the guiding ideology. In addition，China should put prevention first and raise the awareness of risk prevention. China also needs to continuously establish and improve mechanisms and platforms for safeguarding the security of its overseas interests. Finally，China should strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation among various parties in accordance with the “one country，one policy” guideline to effectively safeguard China’s overseas interests.
