The exchange and cooperation between the two civilizations of China and Europe go far beyond economy and trade

2022-11-14

During German Chancellor Schultz's visit to China, the purchase agreement of about 17 billion US dollars between Chinese aviation materials and Airbus was "answered", and Germany is one of the important producers of Airbus aircraft. The role of economic and trade cooperation as a ballast for China EU and China Germany relations is further highlighted. At the same time, as China emphasized when defining China EU relations, China and the EU, as two major forces, two markets and two civilizations in the world, stand for, oppose and cooperate with each other, which is of global significance. Both Chinese civilization and European civilization have a long historical and cultural tradition and profound historical and cultural accumulation. It is fully in the fundamental interests of the people of both sides to deepen exchanges and work together between Chinese and European civilizations. The world today is in the process of transforming the old and new international order. Entering the 21st century, as the largest variable of the world pattern, the group rise of developing countries represented by China marks a new historical stage of industrial civilization. The trend of world political multipolarization has effectively curbed the hegemonism and power politics that individual countries have always pursued. The economic development concept characterized by zero sum game and jungle law cannot cope with the growth model of economic globalization. Although the international struggle is increasingly fierce, peace and development are still the mainstream of the world today. To effectively solve the problems faced by mankind, the international community needs to provide new ideas and specific solutions. In a word, the cultural model of modern capitalism characterized by the sense of confrontation and the principle of expansion has gradually lost its "brilliance". How to take a modernization path that suits national conditions has become an open question. Exploring a new form of human civilization for the future is an urgent theme of the times before us. European civilization has played an extremely unique role in the historical process of human exploration of the road to modernization. It should be said that although the spirit of modern western civilization originated in Europe, it is Britain, which represents the marine civilization, that systematically constructs the capitalist values and discourse system. In the 18th century, Europe witnessed the great social changes of the industrial revolution in Britain, which was in the early stage of capitalism, and also witnessed Germany, which was still in the form of agricultural civilization, deeply criticized the capitalist civilization in the ideological field. The general view is that the French Enlightenment completely inherited the basic concepts of British democracy. In fact, it was Rousseau, a thinker during the French Enlightenment, who, starting from the intuitive consciousness of the French cultural spirit, launched a critique of the western modern democratic political thought that had gradually formed since the British thinker Locke. Under the inspiration of Rousseau, the German thinker Kant initiated the German classical philosophy, which is still the basis for criticizing the modern capitalist culture. It can be said that the European civilization represented by German and French culture and the marine civilization represented by British and American culture have fundamental cultural differences and value differences in the historical process of exploring the modernization model. The values and lifestyles of Chinese civilization determine the basic orientation of the Chinese path to modernization road. China is a big oriental country with Confucianism and Taoism as its main body and secular culture as its leading spirit. The cultural connotation and development mode of the process of Chinese path to modernization are doomed to be fundamentally different from those of the early western industrial countries.
