The Chinese Dream and the American Dream that help each other
Xiong Guangqing
Core Tips: The Chinese Dream and the American Dream may have different focuses, but they both reflect the pursuit and yearning of the people of their respective countries for a better and happy life. From the perspective of international relations, the Chinese Dream and the American Dream help and support each other: a peaceful and harmonious international environment is the basis for realizing the Chinese Dream and the American Dream; mutual benefit and win-win are the inherent logic of realizing the Chinese Dream and the American Dream; increasing trust and dispelling doubts between w88 online casino can create opportunities for the realization of the Chinese Dream and the American Dream.
w88 online casino are both influential countries in the world. They are also the two countries with the most active economies and the greatest development potential in the world. The Chinese Dream and the American Dream may have different focuses. The Chinese Dream seems to place more emphasis on the development and prosperity of the country and the nation. This is related to China’s historical experience in modern times. In fact, before modern times, China did not have the concept of country and nation in the modern sense. However, since modern times, it has been constantly suffering from foreign aggression, and the concept of country and nation began to emerge and has been continuously strengthened. The American Dream has always placed more emphasis on realizing personal value and gaining personal freedom and happiness. However, the Chinese Dream and the American Dream have one thing in common. They both reflect the pursuit and yearning of the people of their respective countries for a better and happy life. From the perspective of international relations, the Chinese Dream and the American Dream help and support each other. The Chinese Dream is an opportunity rather than a challenge or threat to the American Dream.
A peaceful and harmonious international environment is the foundation of the actual Chinese Dream and the American Dream
Without a peaceful international environment, there is no need to talk about any dreams; in a state of war, all dreams can only be said to be nightmares. We should admit that there are contradictions and conflicts between w88 online casino. Some contradictions are even structural contradictions that are difficult or even impossible to resolve. For example, there are serious ideological differences between w88 online casino, and there are conflicts between w88 online casino between emerging powers and established powers. These problems will definitely exist for a long time. However, do these problems exist and w88 online casino must be at odds with each other and have to fight to the death? Arguably, not at all. Some people particularly like to exaggerate this kind of contradiction or conflict, and even assert that there will be a war between w88 online casino. This kind of statement can only lead Sino-US relations astray.
It is the general consensus of the Chinese people to maintain a good international environment and maintain world peace, thereby ensuring that China's economic development process is not interrupted. In addition, China's current domestic problems and domestic conflicts are very complex, and China hopes to concentrate on doing its own things well. Therefore, China has no intention to challenge the United States at all.Furthermore, the contradictions and differences between w88 online casino do not have the characteristics of evolving into a fierce or large-scale military conflict.What China needs to guard against in particular is that over-exaggerating the differences between ideologies and political systems may lead to the possibility of military conflict between w88 online casino, and then a real conflict with the United States. At the same time, if any country realizes that the gains of a war outweigh the losses and the costs of war are greater than the benefits of war, the possibility of using force to solve problems will decrease. Although the United States is a superpower, it is not powerful enough to do whatever it wants. It is difficult for us to imagine that the United States will blatantly use force against China. As long as w88 online casino maintain communication and dialogue, manage differences and conflicts, they can ease conflicts, cooperate effectively, and contribute to world peace.
Mutual benefit and win-win is the inner logic of realizing the Chinese dream and the American dream
20century90Since the 1990s, an important change in international relations has been the acceleration of economic globalization. This has had at least two profound impacts: First, the interdependence between countries has continued to increase, and the logic of the "zero-sum" game has been broken. Conflict will lead to "lose-lose", while cooperation will bring "win-win". Second, many problems that previously required political and military means can now be solved through economic and other means. At present, interdependence between countries has not only been strengthened in the economic field, but also in the political field. In this way, countries must not only strengthen cooperation and establish effective international cooperation mechanisms, but also understand that effective cooperation between countries is based on reasonable compromises. Necessary compromises and concessions are the prerequisite for the most effective international cooperation. The same is true for Sino-US relations. There are conflicts and contradictions, but there are many common interests. When conflicts and contradictions escalate, both sides will suffer losses. Both sides will benefit from strengthening cooperation and dialogue and increasing trust.
w88 online casino are the two countries with the strongest economic complementarity. They have huge needs for cooperation and broad market space. Economic complementarity actually enables both countries to gain great benefits from it. At the same time, as two major countries in the world, w88 online casino also have many common interests in global governance. The United States also needs China's support and cooperation to solve many important international or global issues, especially non-traditional security issues, which require coordination and cooperation among major powers. Even in East Asia, w88 online casino have great room for cooperation in controlling North Korea's nuclear power, maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, and promoting regional economic and security cooperation.So, the basis for cooperation between w88 online casino still exists, and there are many factors that rely on each other.American Scholar AboutSev·Nai（Joseph Nye）said:“atAt certain times, w88 online casino are competitors on certain issues, but from a broader perspective, w88 online casino share common interests, and these common interests are more important than competition.”It is precisely because of the extensive common interests between w88 online casino that Sino-US relations can remain relatively stable and weather ups and downs without breaking down or experiencing major setbacks.
Increasing trust and dispelling doubts between w88 online casino can create opportunities for the realization of the Chinese dream and the American dream
The relationship between w88 online casino is very complicated and a bit paradoxical. The basic political systems of the two countries are different, and there are great differences in the ideological field. Moreover, the United States always looks at an emerging power with vigilance from the perspective of an established hegemonic country. However, the people-to-people and economic exchanges between the two countries are very close, and the Chinese seem to have a natural affinity for Americans. This is a very good social foundation for the development of Sino-US relations. Sometimes anti-American sentiment rises, which may be mainly due to two reasons. First, there are a large number of "angry youth" in China. They transfer their dissatisfaction and resentment about domestic problems to China's foreign policy, regardless of whether there are real problems and mistakes in this policy; second, in order to show their "political correctness", some people seem to be "anti-American" to show their firm political stance. In fact, these people may "envy" the prosperity and wealth of the United States more than anyone else.
Compared to China, the domestic politics of the United States may have a deeper impact on Sino-US relations, and sometimes even lead to serious regression in Sino-US relations.There are a large number of interest groups in the United States in the fields of politics, economy, human rights, labor, religion, and society. Each of them represents the interests of certain groups and industries. They often directly or indirectly affect Sino-US relations through lobbying, donations, litigation, demonstrations, or public opinion hype. Among them, there are also interest groups with strong "anti-China" tendencies. They will even use certain methods to exert pressure on foreign affairs decision-making institutions to influence the United States' China policy. The U.S. election has an even more profound impact on Sino-U.S. relations.In this way, w88 online casino must communicate more, communicate more, and coordinate more, enhance the transparency of their policies, and enable each other to clarify their strategic intentions, interest demands, and bottom-line principles, thereby enhancing strategic mutual trust and avoiding falling into mutual suspicion and security dilemmas. This is beneficial to w88 online casino, East Asia, and the entire world.
