What is the basis for China's peaceful development path in Mao Deng San's concept?

Mao Deng San concept of China to take the road of peaceful development is based on:

One, China has a long history and deep heritage

China is a country with a long history and deep cultural traditions, the pursuit of harmony, cherish peace has always been the basic values of the Chinese people, "and for the noble", The pursuit of harmony and the cherishing of peace have always been the basic value orientation of the Chinese nation, and traditional ideas such as "harmony is precious", "harmony is different" and "harmony ****sheng" have profoundly influenced the values and code of conduct of contemporary Chinese people. This is the historical basis for China's path of peaceful development.

Second, China is a developing country with a population of more than 1.3 billion people

To build China into a modernized country and to enable the 1.3 billion Chinese people to live a happy life, we must, and can only, rely mainly on the strength of the Chinese people themselves. The Chinese government and people regard modernization as their greatest and most fundamental interest, and to this end are committed to maintaining a peaceful and stable international environment, and have always been a steadfast force for world peace. This is the practical basis for China to take the path of peaceful development.

Three, China is still a socialist country, advocating peace as an essential attribute of socialism with Chinese characteristics

China will "work for the maintenance of world peace and the promotion of the cause of progress of mankind" enshrined in the Constitution, to the world's solemn commitment to never be hegemonic, never engage in expansion, and will not be a superpower, and is the only one to declare not to be the first to use nuclear weapons. China is the only nuclear-armed country that has declared that it will not be the first to use nuclear weapons and will not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon States or nuclear-free zones. This is the institutional basis for China to follow the path of peaceful development.

How to understand that China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development:

One, it must unswervingly hold up the banners of peace, development, cooperation, and ***win. **winning flag

China pursues a policy of non-alignment, advocates the peaceful settlement of international disputes and hotspot issues, opposes the use or threat of use of force at every turn, decides its own position and policy on the basis of the rights and wrongs of the matter, and upholds fairness and justice. As an important member of the international community, China is an important force in promoting world peace and development. Through its great contributions to the international community, China has won for itself a favorable environment for development and has enjoyed tremendous development.

Second, we must resolutely defend our country's sovereignty, security and development interests, and never yield to any external pressure

The central task of China's foreign affairs work is to create a favorable international and peripheral environment for the building of a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and the realization of socialist modernization. The strategic opportunity for peaceful development will not come out of nowhere, but must be fought for and maintained by our efforts. We do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and we will never allow other countries to interfere in our internal affairs; we do not encroach on the territory and sovereignty of other countries, and we will never allow other countries to infringe on our sovereignty, security and development interests.

Third, we must resolutely oppose all forms of hegemony and power politics, and never claim hegemony

Peaceful development means breaking the traditional logic of "a strong country must be hegemonic", and in the context of China's strength, we will always adhere to the defensive national defense policy, and will not engage in an arms race with any other country, and will not take the old path of aggression and expansion, and will not fight for world domination. The Chinese government will not follow the old path of aggression, expansion, and world domination.

China will insist on combining the interests of the Chinese people with those of all peoples***, participate in international affairs in a more active manner, play a constructive role as a responsible big country, oppose new interventionism and the subversion of the legitimate regimes of other countries, and unite all possible forces of the international community*** to deal with global challenges*** and ****create a better future for mankind.
