On the Path of Great Power Diplomacy from the Perspective of "Integrity and Harmony"

Summary

Entering "A Journey to China's Wisdom", following the ancient Chinese saying, let's embark on a journey of exploring traditional culture and national spirit together.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "China has embarked on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. We are willing to work with all parties to uphold true multilateralism, uphold faith and harmony, cooperate and win-win, and make steady progress towards the goal of building a community of human destiny."

Integrity and harmony, valuing harmony, and achieving peaceful and common development have always been the inherent genes of traditional Chinese culture.

"The phrase 'Integrity and Harmony' comes from the Book of Rites - Li Yun, and the entire sentence is' The path of the great road is for the public. Choose wise and capable individuals, and uphold integrity and harmony. '"

In ancient times, "faith" was an important principle for human behavior, social interaction, and governance. Confucius said, "The people cannot stand without faith." A country cannot be stable without the trust of the people; "Mu" in "Shuowen Jiezi" means "Mu Shun Ye." It is also known as "Jing He Ye." A person's calm and gentle gaze can create a sense of closeness, which leads to harmonious, close, and friendly relationships between people.

"Integrity and harmony" refers to the common values of mutual trust, close connection, and universal recognition established by people through the pursuit of integrity, providing the necessary practical basis for constructing a united, stable, harmonious, and orderly social environment.

"Integrity and harmony" is an important value criterion of traditional Chinese culture, which has been continued and inherited in historical development, becoming a representative cultural gene and symbol.

In the third year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He led a fleet of more than 200 seagoing ships and more than 27000 personnel to set sail and embark on seven voyages to the West, covering more than 30 countries of all sizes and covering over 100000 miles in the ocean, with footprints covering Asia and Africa.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Historically, Zheng He's voyages to the West and pursued economic, trade and cultural exchanges through the Maritime Silk Road, and the fleet was so powerful but did not engage in any aggression, but instead mediated disputes and fought pirates. China pursues a foreign policy of peaceful development, gives great help to its neighbors and makes many friends."

In the revolutionary era, Liu Shaoqi said in "On the Cultivation of Communist Party Members": "We proletarian revolutionaries are loyal and pure, cannot deceive ourselves, cannot deceive the people, and cannot deceive the ancients. This is a major characteristic and advantage of our Communist Party members."

The CPC practices the concept of "faithfulness and harmony", wins trust from the people at home, strives for progress for mankind abroad, and seeks common ground for the world. In the 1950s, Chairman Mao Zedong proposed that China should make significant contributions to humanity. In 1964, the Chinese government announced the eight principles of foreign economic and technological assistance with equality, mutual benefit, and no attached conditions as its core.

Afterwards, China established economic and technological cooperation relationships with multiple developing countries, and assisted in the construction of a large number of major infrastructure such as the Tanzania Zambia Railway, Mauritania Friendship Port, and China Africa Friendship Hospital. During this period, China overcame its own difficulties and provided maximum support for other developing countries to strive for national independence and develop their national economy.

In the new era of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization construction, China's interaction with the outside world is becoming increasingly frequent, and the construction of its diplomatic system and mechanism is also improving. It is gradually paving the way for a new path of great power diplomacy, opening up new paths for communication between countries worldwide.

The world is currently undergoing a major transformation and accelerating evolution that has not been seen in a century. Where is the world heading? Peace or war? Development or decline? Open or closed? Cooperation or confrontation? It is the question of the times before us.

The concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind proposed by President Xi Jinping reflects the excellent traditional cultural values including "trustworthiness and harmony", conforms to the trend of the times of the development and progress of human society, and has become a clear banner of China's diplomacy in the new era.

China has always firmly adhered to a mutually beneficial and win-win strategy of opening up, constantly providing new opportunities for the world with China's new development. For example, through the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", East Africa has a highway, Maldives has a cross sea bridge, and China Europe Express has become an important "lifeline" to ensure the stability and smoothness of global logistics.

For a long time, as a responsible major country, China has always taken full responsibility for world peace and development - participating in the cooperation mechanism between the BRICS countries and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, proposing global development initiatives, global security initiatives, and global civilization initiatives, promoting reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran

China advocates peace, development, cooperation, and win-win, which has won the recognition of countries around the world. At the national level, China is building a bilateral community with a shared future with an increasing number of friendly partners; At the regional level, China has strengthened cooperation with neighboring countries; On a global level, China has achieved success in multiple fields such as politics, economy, culture, and ecology. Reality has proven that mutually beneficial cooperation will inevitably replace zero sum games, and multilateralism will surely defeat unilateralism.

Currently, the international situation continues to undergo profound and complex changes, and the unprecedented major changes are accelerating their evolution. The CPC has always responded to various problems and challenges with a broad mind and a broad vision, and is committed to building a harmonious relationship with the world. It will certainly lead China and the world to work together for win-win cooperation and create a better future for all mankind.
