The Shadow of World War II and Modern ConflictAgainst the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Gaza war, the world has witnessed a profound **. The United States and Russia accuse each other of being "the Axis," a label with a strong pejorative connotation, derived from the military alliance between Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan during World War II. The actions of these countries have brought incalculable disasters to the world.
Mutual recrimination by international leadersIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees Hamas, Iran and Russia as the "** axis". Biden of the United States believes that Russia, North Korea and Iran constitute this axis. And Russia's Dmitry Medvedev compared NATO to Hitler's Axis, calling it a fascist bloc.
China's position and peace strategyIn such a global political climate, China has chosen not to join either side. This decision reflects China's consistent position in the Russia-Ukraine and Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, and also reflects the characteristics of Chinese civilization. China has always supported peace, respected national sovereignty, and advocated dialogue and negotiation. In the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China supports Palestinian statehood, condemns attacks on civilians, and believes that every country has the right to self-defense.
China's foreign policy and strategic spaceChina has developed a new type of strategic major-country relationship in its relations with Russia, which is non-aligned, non-confrontational, and not aimed at any third party. In its relations with the United States, China adheres to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. This consistency in foreign policy and detachment from conflict has allowed China to maintain strategic room for maneuver from any side.
The concept of building a community with a shared future for mankindChina's concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind is closely related to the peaceful, inclusive and non-aggressive characteristics of Chinese civilization. This philosophy is consistent with "Datong", the highest ideal of a harmonious world. Based on this philosophy, China believes that a large-scale war on a global scale is impossible. Even if there is a crisis in the Russia-Ukraine war and the Gaza war, there are opportunities.
The power of peace and the role of ChinaIn any case, it takes strength, wisdom and determination to stand on the side of peace. When Russia and the United States accuse each other of being the "** axis", there is no need for China to join either side. In this turbulent world, a needle is needed, and at present, only China can take on this task.
