西方“双重标准”的根源究竟何在

The Origin of the Western"Double Standards"

西方国家在一些国际事务中有选择地搞“双重标准”,以自诩的“实质正义”来为其破坏国际关系“形式正义”正名。这反映了西方中心主义和优越性的心态,是一种典型的文化帝国主义,其根本目的是服务于西方的霸权利益。文化帝国主义作为一种维持霸权的手段,比之军事征服和经济控制更具成本优势,更缺乏风险性,更有基础性作用。当今相互依存的国际环境和西方在教育与传媒中的优势为一种文化帝国主义提供了条件与便利。这种漠视国际关系的形式正义的作法,不仅会导致有关国家内部的动荡,也会导致国际关系的紧张,甚至把有关西方国家带入冲突与衰落的轨道。

In dealing with some international affairs, the Western countries have selectively pursued double standards, and employed the self-described "substantial justice" to justify the "formal justice" that destroys international relations. This reflects the Western centrism and superiority. It is a typical cultural imperialism, whose fundamental purpose is to serve the hegemonic interests of the West. As a means of maintaining hegemony, cultural imperialism has a greater cost advantage, less risks and a more basic function than military conquest and economic control. Today’s interdependent international environment and the advantages of the West in education and media provide conditions and convenience for cultural imperialism. This kind of formal justice that disregards international relations will not only lead to the internal turmoil of the countries concerned, but also lead to the tension of international relations, and even bring the relevant Western countries into the conflict and decline.
