We investigate the evolution of the global string network in the radiation dominated universe by use of numerical simulations in 3+1 dimensions. We find that the global string network settles down to the scaling regime where the energy density of global strings, $\rho_{s}$, is given by $\rho_{s} = \xi \mu / t^2$ with $\mu$ the string tension per unit length and the scaling parameter, $\xi \sim (0.9-1.3)$, irrespective of the cosmic time. We also find that the loop distribution function can be fitted with that predicted by the so-called one scale model. Concretely, the number density, $n_{l}(t)$, of the loop with the length, $l$, is given by $n_{l}(t) = \nu/[t^{3/2} (l + \kappa t)^{5/2}]$ where $\nu \sim 0.0865$ and $\kappa$ is related with the Nambu-Goldstone(NG) boson radiation power from global strings, $P$, as $P = \kappa \mu$ with $\kappa \sim 0.535$. Therefore, the loop production function also scales and the typical scale of produced loops is nearly the horizon distance. Thus, the evolution of the global string network in the radiation dominated universe can be well described by the one scale model in contrast with that of the local string network.
