The Chinese nation has always loved peace and advocated the concepts of "harmony but difference", "unity of heaven and man" and "peace is precious". I sorted out why China adheres to the path of peaceful development. I welcome reference.
Why does China adhere to the path of peaceful development
1. The theme of peace and development
Looking at the world, the instability and uncertainty facing the world are prominent, the momentum of world economic growth is insufficient, the polarization between the rich and the poor is becoming more and more serious, regional hot spot issues emerge one after another, non-traditional security threats such as terrorism, cyber security, major infectious diseases and climate change continue to spread, and mankind is facing many common challenges. On the other hand, most countries, populations and regions in the world have a strong desire for peace and development. The general trend of peaceful development is irreversible. Peace and development are still the theme of the times. China should keep up with the trend of the times and dance with the times.
2. The inevitable requirement of China's own fundamental interests
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China has made historic achievements by taking the path of peaceful development. These achievements have been achieved mainly in a peaceful environment. In the future, we are also facing arduous development tasks. The proportion of "overseas China" in China's economic development is increasing. The scale of "going global" of Chinese enterprises and personnel is increasing. Resources and markets are "at both ends". There is an urgent need for a peaceful development environment. Without a peaceful environment, all development will be impossible.
3. Genetic regulation of Chinese cultural tradition
There is no gene for hegemony and militarism in the blood of the Chinese people. The Chinese nation has always loved peace and advocated the concepts of "harmony but difference", "unity of heaven and man" and "peace is precious". Longing for peace and pursuing harmony has always been the spiritual temperament of the Chinese people.
4. The nature of China's social system
That year, Deng Xiaoping made a special point when talking about socialism with Chinese characteristics. He said: our socialism is peaceful socialism. We should avoid following the old road of Soviet socialism. Although the Soviet Union is also socialism, it cannot be said to be peaceful socialism. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought for hegemony for more than 40 years. As a result, one disintegrated and the other declined. China should take the United States and the Soviet Union as a mirror and adhere to the path of peaceful development.
