打破国强必霸的逻辑:中国特色大国外交的道路选择

Breaking the Logic That a Strong Country is Bound to Seek Hegemony: The Path Choice of Major Country Diplomacy with Chinese Characteristics

中国特色大国外交的提出标志着中国外交的大国转向,中国开始以大国的主体身份开展对外交往。然而,由于传统大国外交所显示出的国强必霸的历史道路,同样拥有"大国外交"限定词的中国特色大国外交也常常被质疑会走上与传统大国相同的道路。从大国外交的特性出发可以发现,传统大国外交的国强必霸道路体现在维持大国地位、维护大国利益、推广大国意志和承担大国责任四个方面,核心特征是以强凌弱和强强争霸。但当前世界处于百年未有之大变局的时代特性和中国的和平崛起进程,使中国不能也不愿走这一道路。因此,中国特色大国外交的时代选择就是思考如何打破国强必霸的逻辑,实现中国的和平崛起。中国要在上述四个方面开创不同于传统大国外交的新路,实现中国与世界的双赢。

The proposal of major country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics marks the turning of China’s diplomacy,and China has begun to carry out diplomatic activities as a great power.However,since the traditional great-power diplomacy has the logic that a strong country is bound to seek hegemony,a stronger China is often questioned that it will definitely follow the same older logic of the traditional great-power diplomacy.From the characteristics of great-power diplomacy,it can be found that the older logic of traditional diplomacy is embodied in four aspects:maintaining the status of great-power,safeguarding the interests of great-power,promoting the will of great-power and taking on the responsibility of great-power respectively,with bully and hegemony as its core feature.At present,at the backdrop that the world is undergoing changes unseen in a century,China’s peaceful rise process has shown that China can not and will not seek hegemony.Therefore,in this era,the choice of major country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics is to think about how to break the older logic of a strong country bound to seek hegemony and realize China’s peaceful rise.China should open up a new and different path in the above-mentioned four aspects to achieve win-win situation between China and the world.
