Chinese-Style Modernization is the Path to Peaceful Development

Achieving modernization is a universal pursuit that requires exploring unique national paths.Through years of experience,the CPC has united China behind a distinct model focused on people-centered development,cultural enrichment,environmental harmony,and peaceful growth.This commitment to peaceful development shapes China’s approach to foreign affairs.China does not seek hegemony or confrontation.Its defense policy remains defensive and its military spending modest.While some portray China’s emergence as aggressive,the facts tell a different story.China’s 2021 defense budget was just 1.3%of its GDP,far below the global average.Meanwhile,U.S.military spending exceeds$800 billion annually and reaches 3.5%of its GDP.

The Cultural Gene and Historical Experience of China’s Peaceful Development

The Western society pays close attention to China’s development,draws supposed commonalities between China and the emerging powers that have competed for international power in history,and uses the"Thucydides Trap"to continuously amplify the"threat"posed by the growth of China’s national strength.This point of view is based on the historical practice of Western countries that take competition as the supreme value and stems from the Western logic that"a strong country will seek hegemony".However,the core fallacy of applying such stereotypes to China’s development lies in the lack of a genuine understanding of China’s cultural traditions and historical practices.The thought of peaceful development is the inherent gene of the Chinese culture.China’s gene for peace refers to the ideological,cultural and historical tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Chinese nation to deal with interpersonal,social and international relations based on the principles of"harmony and peace the most precious","harmony in diversity",and"peace,concord and harmony",including the corresponding beliefs.

Kanzanise Empimba za Nzima Atarikimanya Akangaya: The Story of Play-beans in Promoting Peaceful Co-existence

Afrikan narratives such as folktales,proverbs and taboos were clear systems and structures on which societies operated.These were used to guide society’s values that promoted trust,accountability,self respect and many more for the wellbeing of the entire community.This paper discussesone of the Banyankole folktale Kanzanise empimba za Nzima atarikimanya akangaya(Let me stand in the gap of my sister(Nzima)while she is away or else,I will be shamed in case she knows I did not).The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate how Afrikan indigenous knowledge and specifically this folktale Kanzanise empimba za Nzima atarikimanya akangaya inculcated in the community a spirit of care,commitment to one another and transparency which are fundamental values that create peaceful societies.The paper argues that there is a wealth of wisdom residing in the African cultures to be exploited to guide African policy development.This will raise African indigenous knowledge to a platform worth recognition for its contribution towards positive transformation.Furthermore,that the Western systems and structures currently guiding Afrikan policy development are oblivious of the richness of Afrikan indigenous knowledge that united the people.The paper concludes that for Afrikans to contribute to the global agenda,they need to bring to the table of globalization a unique product such as the Afrikan indigenous narratives that contribues to world peace.The paper recommends moving back into our past,identify and promote those unique Afrikan values that sustained Africa before the Western influence.

Introduction to the Turbulent Flows Theory An Axially-Symmetric Peaceful Flows

This paper introduces to fluid state physics （fluid mechanics） a new interpretation of physical phenomena taking place in a fluid in motion. It introduces the base of a new theory claiming that every flow has its own internal structure of motion, which is definite organization of motion, rather than a ＂molecular chaos＂, known from the fluid statics. The paper introduces the new notion of structures vector fields of power and momentum and shows every Newtonian fluid flows are dual in character. It shows that the flow of Newtonian fluid has a dual character. It demonstrates on models and further in mathematical interpretation of physical phenomena. It introduces, on the one hand, the cycloidal motion model into the fluid mechanics, ad on the other hand an addition to the known, the classical model of Poiseuille laminar motion. The theory of dualism （double nature of physical phenomena） allows the description of selected characteristics of the flow, either by using the theory ofcycloidal motion （semicycloidal）, or by using the supplemented theory of laminar motion. The dualism theory is useful to describe each type of flows both, laminar and turbulent. This paper is only an introduction to the theory. It has been assigned number 1. It has been granted a high priority, since it contains basic concepts that will be used in others, following papers of long cycle.

Adhering to the Path of Peaceful Development

The path of peaceful development, the centerpiece of China's 21st century international strategy and a development in the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics, offers a new exploration of laws governing human progress and a new lesson for modernization in developing countries. To take on its important role in international multilateral mechanisms, China needs to deal with major power relations and with neighboring states and developing countries. To continue following the path of peaceful development requires a wary eye on the domestic and international situation.

Understanding China Means Much for Global Peaceful Development

CHINA defies easy categorization.With a population of more than 1.3 billion,it stretches from the barren Taklamakan Desert in the west to the booming metropolis of Shanghai in the east.It is ultramodern and deeply traditional at the same time.The most basic knowledge about China is that the politics,economy and culture vary by regions.

Peaceful Development for Domestic Stability and Global Cooperation

PEACEFUL development is a main principle of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China’s basic position as a participant in international affairs. Peaceful development is the CPC’s fundamental prediction for the theme of our time. The CPC has always held that scientific observation and analysis of the characteristics of our time, as well as the correct assessment and mastery of that theme, are the basis for formulating domestic and foreign policies.

Building a Peaceful Asian Century:A Japanese scholar on China’s governance

As the information revolution sweeps around the world in the 21st Century,China is riding the third wave of globalization to accelerate the building of an“Asian Century.”By leveraging the First Industrial Revolution,the United Kingdom dominated the 19th Century,making the first wave of globalization part of the“British Century.”Then,during the Second Industrial Revolution,the United States caught the second wave of globalization and made the 20th Century the“American Century”as it consolidated power around the world.Now,against the backdrop of fostering peace in Asia,China has shifted from“factory of the world”to“market of the world”and is even becoming“bank of the world.”Perhaps China will stand at the center of the global stage sooner than anyone predicted.

Peaceful Development and Human Rights Protection

I.Understanding True Human Rights,Humans developed from primates—family living things—and,through long evolutions,finally broke away from the primate habitat and entered civilization.The more humans develop,the deeper the distance between humans and the primate animal world.In the long-term social life of human beings,humans gradually develop a sense of goodness.

Keeping Outer Space Peaceful and Safe

SPACE has become more and more woven into our daily lives:Satellites that orbit the earth send and receive signals and data that are used for Internet communication.Satellites also produce the GPS networks that allow us to navigate our streets,pinpoint our locations,and monitor our weather.Meanwhile the introduction of 5G capability will substantially increase the speed of the Internet and“the Internet of things”propelled by artificial intelligence and the rise of big data.

U.S. Provocations Can’t Buck Peaceful Cooperation in the South China Sea

THE U.S.provocations around the South China Sea have recently intensified.Right on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the ad hoc tribunal ruling on the South China Sea arbitration,on July 13,the U.S.Secretary of State,Mike Pompeo,issued the statement“U.S.Position on Maritime Claims in the South China Sea,”saying that,“Beijing’s claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are completely unlawful,as is its campaign of bullying to control them.”The statement denies China’s indisputable sovereignty over Meiji Reef and Ren’ai Reef,and refuses to recognize Zengmu Shoal(roughly 20 meters below the surface)as a part of China.Two days after Pompeo’s statement,the U.S.Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Ralph Johnson(DDG-114)arrived in the waters near the Nansha Islands to carry out the socalled“freedom of navigation”operation.This year,the U.S.Navy has carried out at least six such operations and conducted various other operations to demonstrate their military presence.The U.S.Air Force often sends bombers over the area.What’s more,aircraft carriers USS Nimitz and USS Ronald Reagan held an exercise in the South China Sea on July 17,the second time in a month.The two aircraft carrier battle groups carried out the same exercise on July 4.

Ten Years of the Belt and Road-The Road to a Multipolar Peaceful World

The BRI not only demonstrates the way for mankind to overcome the challenges of the 21st century,but also points out the direction to move towards a peaceful future.CHINESE President Xi Jinping proposed the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road in Kazakhstan and Indonesia in late 2013,and the idea was well received.The Belt and Road Initiative(BRI)has since attracted widespread attention from around the world.

Returning to the Original Point of Normalization of China-Japan Relations and Renewing Peaceful and Friendly Relations between Governments

Japan and China are neighbors that cannot move away from each other.Thus,it’s quite natural that there are quarrels between them because we are so close to each other.There is no other option between Japan and China except peace and friendship.On the occasion of the 3rd Anniversary of the normalization of Japan-China diplomatic relations on September 29,1975,in order to solidify

A Buddhist Philosophy of Global Mind for Peaceful Future

While addressing global problems including conflict and violence is a common human agenda, they are human-caused： They are created and sustained through our thoughts. Though external causes and conditions cannot be ignored, the most fundamental problem is an epistemological one---our way of knowing and viewing the world. As the shape of the global conditions relies on our thoughts or ways of thinking, it is imperative to make a critical analysis of our mind. This paper explores how the Buddhist philosophy of human mind develops a model of global mind to achieve a peaceful future. Firstly, the analysis offers the concept of＂the conditioned mind＂--mind shaped by socially constructed frame of reference and examines how it becomes a cause of trouble. Secondly, it proposes the concept of ＂the unconditioned mind＂--mind-state transcendent of an attachment to any form of frame of reference as an antidote to the potential danger of the conditioned state. Then, global mind is explored. It is characterized as the mixture of the conditioned and the unconditioned mind with the practice of multiple functions of mind--mindful practice, dialectical philosophical contemplation, and compassionate mind. The appreciation and enacting of both the conditioned mind and the unconditioned mind underpinned by the multiple functions of mind empowers us to touch universal humanity and inherent dignity of all human beings and to co-create new values, norms, and visions with those having different frames of reference to embody interdependent and interconnected human relationships.
