Description
There are many misunderstandings on the role of Chinese civilization in the development of human history. Historically, Chinese have said no to the so-called "clash of civilizations" and see the beauty of each civilization.  Historically, Western civilization is not from the West and borrowed a lot of elements from Chinese civilization, which led to the rise of the West. The same is true today. Different civilizations should promote mutual learning. Chinese civilization has also borrowed many elements from other civilizations, including Western civilization, and that's why we have China's comprehensive rise today. History tells us that pursuing the superiority of one's own people and culture causes great tragedies to humankind. I strongly believe that treating each other with respect and as equals; appreciating the beauty of all civilizations and adhering to openness, inclusiveness, and mutual learning are essential .  In 2019, President Xi's visit to France, French President Emmanuel Macron presented a gift to the President. A book which was published in France in the late 17th century, the "An Introduction to the Analects of Confucius ", the original version in French. Macron also specifically said that the early translation and introduction of "The Analects" had inspired the French thinker Voltaire and many other Western thinkers. I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China.  The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.
