Why should China stick to the path of peaceful development?

Taking the road of peaceful development is a strategic choice made by the government and people of China to inherit the excellent tradition of Chinese culture, according to the development trend of the times and the fundamental interests of China, and it is an inherent need for the development of China.

Since ancient times, China culture has believed that the world should be a harmonious whole, which has deeply influenced the thinking and behavior of the Chinese nation, and has become an important value for China people to deal with the relationship between people, people and nature, and even countries.

The people of China have always advocated the concepts of "harmony without difference", "harmony between man and nature" and "harmony is the most important thing", and they have rallied their families, been good neighbors and treated others well in a harmonious spirit. Harmonious culture has cultivated the peace-loving national temperament of the Chinese nation.

World significance

The peaceful development of China has broken the traditional pattern of the rise of great powers, that is, "the state must dominate". Establishing a colonial system, competing for spheres of influence and expanding forces abroad are the old ways for some great powers to rise in modern history. Especially in the 20th century, the pursuit of hegemony, strength confrontation and mutual struggle caused mankind to suffer the catastrophe of two world wars.

Based on its own thousands of years of historical and cultural traditions, the understanding of the essence of economic globalization, the changes in international relations and international security pattern in the 2nd/Kloc-0 century, and the understanding of the common interests and values of mankind, China has solemnly chosen peaceful development and win-win cooperation as the basic ways to realize national modernization, participate in international affairs and handle international relations. Decades of practice have proved that China is on the right path of peaceful development and there is no reason to change it.
