First, the profound connotation of China's peaceful development path
Peace is the foundation of development and development is the foundation of peace. China's path of peaceful development is rich in connotation, including the following five interrelated points:
First, the road of peaceful development in China refers to the road to be taken in the whole construction process of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which requires the continuous efforts of several generations, dozens of generations. In particular, it refers to the fundamental road to be taken from the implementation of reform and opening up in the late 1970s to the basic realization of modernization and the historic leap from underdeveloped countries to moderately developed countries in the middle of the 20th century, which is a development stage with distinctive characteristics of national rejuvenation.
Second, China's fundamental goal is to solve the problems of the 654.38 billion+300 million China people's rights to subsistence, development and education. Is to concentrate on running your own business and develop yourself honestly. This task is already heavy. We have no time, no energy and absolutely no need to threaten any country or anyone. Of course, after that, China has developed, and it will always take the road of peaceful development, which is also included in the unshakable category of 100.
Third, the fundamental feature of China Road is to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics independently in the process of being linked to economic globalization rather than divorced from it, and in the process of achieving mutual benefit and win-win with the international community. The so-called independence means that the basic point of China's development is to rely mainly on its own strength, including consciously relying on its own institutional innovation and cultural innovation, relying on its own industrial structure adjustment and growth mode transformation, relying on domestic demand and domestic market development, relying on the improvement of national quality and scientific and technological progress, and striving to solve difficult problems in development.
Fourthly, the fundamental requirement of China road is the unity of domestic policy and foreign policy, and the unity of internal harmony and foreign peace. In other words, China's adherence to the path of peaceful development is both diplomatic and internal affairs; It is not only a declaration and commitment to the outside world, but also a self-restraint and norm. Fifthly, the most profound and fundamental connotation of China Road is to realize the great rejuvenation of Chinese civilization in the first half of 2/kloc-0 century, in the intersection with various civilizations in the contemporary world, and in the continuous promotion of the spirit of independent innovation.
Second, it is a historical necessity for China to choose the path of peaceful development.
Practice shows that the development of China has taken a new path of peaceful development which is different from the rise of great powers in the past. Adhering to the path of peaceful development is not an expedient measure of China, but an inevitable choice and solemn commitment of the government and people of China.
First, adhering to the path of peaceful development is the rational choice of China's core leadership collective's scientific concept of governing the country. From the Opium War in 1840 to the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, China suffered foreign aggression for a long time, not to mention economic and social development. Under the leadership of the * * * Production Party in China, the people of China have finally established a new socialist China after a long revolutionary struggle and entered a new stage of development. Based on a clear understanding of historical development and sincere desire for lasting peace, China leaders have always regarded adhering to the path of peaceful development as their basic political concept. In international exchanges, China actively advocated and always pursued the Five Principles of Peace; Adhere to the principle of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems" to solve the problems of Hongkong, Macao and Taiwan Province Province; In maintaining international security, actively advocating the new security concept of "mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and cooperation" is the concrete embodiment of this concept. The new generation of collective leadership with General Secretary Hu Jintao further clarified that China should unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development, concentrate on construction and development, and build a harmonious society with democracy, rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, vitality, stability and order, and environmental friendliness; Externally, we persist in being good neighbors and partners, and are committed to maintaining world peace, promoting common development and building a harmonious world of lasting peace and prosperity. These profound strategic thoughts have become the common sense of all China people, and are reflected in the strategic deployment of China's long-term development.
Second, adhering to the path of peaceful development is a conscious choice rooted in the profound and excellent historical and cultural traditions of the Chinese nation. Loving and pursuing peace is the basic spirit of China national culture. Confucius, the ancestor of Confucianism, regards "harmony" as "the foundation of the world and the foundation of all things", which is manifested in dealing with the relationship between the nation and the country, that is, "trusting and loving the people" and realizing "serving people with virtue"; On the issue of war, it is "paying attention to people, not fighting." It can be said that in the history of the world, China's thought of "harmony" has the earliest origin, the richest connotation and the most far-reaching influence. The road of peaceful development is the perfect combination of China's development model and traditional culture, which is clearly branded with China's traditional culture.
Thirdly, adhering to the path of peaceful development is a scientific choice based on objective reality in the primary stage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's construction. China is a big developing socialist country. A large population, weak foundation, underdeveloped productive forces and unbalanced development are the basic national conditions of China. At present, China's per capita GDP still ranks behind 100 in the world, and there are still 23 million poor people in rural areas, and nearly 24 million people need employment every year. More than 60 million disabled people need care and help, and 654.38 billion rural laborers need to transfer jobs. The main contradiction at present is still the contradiction between people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production. On this basis, China still has a long way to go to realize socialist modernization, which requires the unremitting efforts of several generations, a dozen generations or even dozens of generations.
Fourth, adhering to the path of peaceful development is the only choice to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the era of globalization. Globalization is the unity of nationalization and internationalization. For China, globalization means modernization plus China, or modern China modernization. Whether a country can successfully achieve the goal of social modernization under the background of globalization depends on the government's ability to control globalization. China government has a very clear understanding and control of the globalization process, so it has chosen a proactive and independent globalization strategy that adheres to the path of peaceful development. The process of globalization makes countries more interconnected and interdependent than ever before. A peaceful international environment has become a necessary condition for the rapid economic and social development of a nation-state. The success of domestic economy depends largely on the competitiveness of the country's economy in the world market and the degree of economic and social exchanges and cooperation between countries. Therefore, maintaining international peace and creating a good surrounding environment are not only the needs of maintaining national stability, but also the needs of economic integration. In this sense, the road of peaceful development is the only way for the economic and social revitalization of the nation-state in the era of globalization, and it is also the only choice for China to realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Fifth, adhering to the path of peaceful development is a wise choice to integrate into the trend of cooperation and harmonious development in today's world. Through its own development, China shows that maintaining world peace and developing friendly relations with other countries are beneficial to the development of China and the world. The development of China is an opportunity for the development of the world. Countries all over the world have also shared the fruits of China's development in their economic exchanges with China. While developing itself, China has achieved mutual benefit and win-win with other countries. Integrate the development of China into the tide of world peace and development, and unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development. This is an important strategic choice for China people to deeply understand the development of the times, and China will always follow this correct development path.
Third, correctly understand the world significance of the development model of China's peaceful development path.
China is the largest developing country in the world today, and 654.38 billion+300 million China people have embarked on the road of peaceful development, which undoubtedly adds extremely important positive factors to the lofty cause of human peace and development. This development model is of great significance to the whole world.
First, the concept of this development model is unique. Throughout the history of international relations, the rise of great powers almost always goes hand in hand with the expansion of war, and the rise of war is the main mode, basic road and usual choice of the rise of great powers. China abandoned the traditional development model of great powers and chose a completely different road from the hegemony of great powers in the 20th century. This is China's commitment to world peace in the 2 1 century, and it is also a guarantee to create a new path of peaceful development.
Second, this is unprecedented in human history. China uses less than 10% of the world's arable land, and has successfully solved the problem of feeding nearly 22% of the world's population, creating a miracle on earth. The living standards of 654.38+300 million people in China have been continuously improved. The government of China has lifted about 220 million people out of poverty, provided minimum living security for 22.05 million urban residents and helped more than 60 million disabled people. At present, the average life expectancy has increased from 35 years before the founding of New China to 7 1.95 years, reaching the level of moderately developed countries. China has contributed to reducing human poverty and improving the quality of life.
Third, this development model is unique. The essence of China's peaceful development is that China will never seek hegemony. We will not only develop ourselves through a peaceful international environment, but also promote world peace through our own development and strive to achieve peaceful, open, cooperative and harmonious development. It is the proper meaning of China's "peaceful development" to obtain overseas resources by peaceful means and explore overseas markets. Today, just because mankind has entered the era of globalization, the stable development of China has in fact been organically integrated into the stable development process of the international community, so the peaceful development of China has become a direct contribution to the cause of world peace.
Fourthly, this development model has made a unique contribution to international sports. China is not only the largest developing country, but also the largest socialist country. China has taken the road of peaceful development and embarked on a road of socialist modernization with China characteristics, which in itself is a useful exploration of the capitalist movement in the world. As long as China's peaceful development is successful, it will undoubtedly make great contributions to the world socialist movement, both theoretically and practically.
Fifth, the impact of this development model is unique. With the development of China, its hard power and soft power have been greatly enhanced, and it has gradually become an important strategic force that can play an important role in the world, playing a unique role and influence in international affairs. We have reason to believe that the modern development model of China's peaceful development has a very important impact on the world, especially on the modernization of developing countries.
China's development path and model is not only a theoretical summary of China's modernization development path, but also a beneficial exploration of human development path under the background of globalization. Of course, China adheres to the path of peaceful development and promotes the building of a harmonious world, neither exporting revolution and ideology to the outside world, nor exporting development paths and development models. China's development path and mode draw lessons from the development experience of many other countries, and at the same time have obvious China characteristics, which are only suitable for China's national conditions. Therefore, in epistemology, we should adhere to the attitude of seeking truth from facts, and we should not make a country's development model absolute and fixed, otherwise we will fall into ideological rigidity and dogma. To break the rigid "model theory", we should learn from other countries' models, apply what we have learned, and not find faults, let alone copy them; We should stick to our own model and adjust it when it is time. We should not sell it everywhere as a universal model, let alone impose it on others. This is the scientific attitude of Marxism that we should have in the development path of nation-state and the mode of economic and social development.
