This world is very realistic. Although Europe and America have been shouting for democracy and freedom, they are actually full of thieves and prostitutes, and their own interests have always been supreme. Just not as naked as a hundred years ago, openly invading and killing all over the world. As for Russia, a former superpower, its interests have always been naked, and it will never be soft when it can take advantage of China. In fact, as long as we look at the world a little carefully, it is not difficult to recognize this reality.
Why can't China understand and implement the supremacy of international interests? Can't safeguard their own interests fairly in the international arena? This is not difficult to understand the supremacy of self-interest. As long as Confucius' benevolence and morality are put aside, it is easy to find this realistic truth. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, countries were intrigued, weren't they?
Perhaps from the popularization of Confucius and Confucianism, China people began to hide, and began to care about face, always stressing benevolence, righteousness and morality. Of course, benevolence, righteousness and morality are good, and this is also the concept we want to promote. We want to promote the ideals of China society and even the global human society, but don't be carried away by ideals. It will be very troublesome to regard ideals as reality!
Confucius put forward benevolence and morality and traveled around the world to preach it. As a result, he suffered setbacks in various countries and lost his life several times. Finally, he returned to Shandong. There was no room for popularizing Confucianism in the objective environment at that time. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the world was unified, foreign invasion was gradually eliminated, and Confucianism was gradually popularized. The present world is very similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The United Nations is like a weak king of Zhou. Understanding morality has an environment and interests are paramount. Confucianism can only be the ideal we advocate.
Taking the ideal as a reality will not only lose the opportunity to realize it, but also bring a lot of trouble to the country's development and people's lives. It's a pity that many people haven't seen the reality clearly, and subconsciously they are still immersed in China's dream of a great country. Chiang Kai-shek is a typical example. In order to maintain their own rule at home, they do not hesitate to take various measures, but they are still very benevolent and moral to foreign countries. For example, he advocated and promoted the repayment of good for Japan and gave up the compensation for Japan's war of aggression against China. As a result, the victims are the people of China. Much like the ruler of the feudal dynasty, he also had China's thoughts of benevolence, righteousness and morality, which appeased the Japanese to raise tigers, but made his own people suffer greatly. After the Opium War, China was no longer the whole world (the world), but a country in the law of the jungle world, and lost the overall environment for promoting Confucianism-a relatively unified and harmonious world.
In this treacherous world, Confucianism is our ideal, and stressing interests is what China should really implement in his actions.
