Historically, the political development of the world has followed two routes: one involves inter-personal relationships, which have evolved gradually through violent and non-violent forms of revolution from one marked by the conflict between the oppressed and the oppressors and between the exploited and the exploiters, to one marked by equality and mutual respect; and the other involves the progress of the forms of production organization and society made possible by the productive forces driving the production relations forward and the change to the economic foundation that forced the superstructure to experience fundamental transformation. The latter is fundamental and recessive, while the former is dominant, which has a direct impact on states and the broader world. In such a progressive evolution, the political transformation of the world has gradually changed from a violent one to a more peaceful one, and the grander trend has changed from having the features of national independence and liberation as well as a people's revolution, to having the features of seeking development in an all-around way and forging a harmonious world free from threat, fear and anxiety.Hereinto, the dominant role of rational human self-restraint is becoming more and more obvious, with which the actors, even those who onceopposed each other, are seeking mutual tolerance, acceptance and cooperation, including human respect for nature and the environment. In essence, this is indicative of the emancipation of human sociality and the reconciliation between man and nature, which is still currently under way.展开更多
