From Vietnam to North Korea

　　From Afghanistan to Syria

　　The United States often hits

　　"Humanitarian intervention"

　　"Combating terrorism"

　　Wait for the banner to use force against foreign countries

　　For more than two centuries

　　War and force

　　The DNA that has been integrated into this country

　　Historically speaking,

　　The United States is the most combative country in the world.

　　Since the declaration of independence in 1776, in the history of more than 240 years, the United States has launched and participated in more than 200 wars, and has not participated in wars for less than 20 years.

　　For hundreds of years, in order to plunder land and resources, the United States has violently expelled and killed aborigines. From the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the population of Native Americans dropped sharply from 5 million to 250,000. The history of American development is the history of aboriginal blood and tears.

　　More than 170 years ago, the United States forced Mexico to sign an unequal treaty through the US-Mexico War and other means, and plundered large areas of territory that originally belonged to Mexico, including Texas, California and Arizona.

　　After the end of World War II, the United States intervened in or launched many wars overseas, which claimed a lot of lives, especially caused extremely serious civilian casualties and brought eye-catching humanitarian disasters. According to incomplete statistics, from the end of World War II in 1945 to 2001, there were 248 armed conflicts in 153 regions of the world, of which 201 were initiated by the United States, accounting for about 81%. From the Korean War to the Vietnam War, millions of civilians were killed in the war. However, the United States used "Agent Orange" on a large scale in the Vietnam War, and used depleted uranium bombs on a large scale in the Gulf War and the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, causing local people to suffer from cancer or other diseases.

　　After 2001, under the banner of "anti-terrorism", the United States continued to fight militarily and launched wars and military operations in 85 countries around the world. The war claimed more than 900,000 lives, including 387,000 civilians. Tens of millions of refugees have been displaced in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and other places most devastated by war.

　　The reasons why the United States launched these wars are high-sounding, often under the banner of so-called humanitarian intervention and combating terrorism. But in fact, what are the reasons behind the frequent use of force by the United States?

　　Plunder oil under the guise of human rights and democracy

　　US Vice President Harris:You know, in the past many years, generations have been fighting for oil.

　　Harris let slip that the so-called human rights and democracy are just a cover for waging war, and the real purpose is to rob oil and control other countries by controlling global oil resources. Syria, Iraq, Libya and other countries are victims of American oil ambitions.

　　American historian Peter Kuznik:As former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said, unfortunately, Americans are unwilling to admit that we invaded Iraq for oil.

　　Israeli political analyst Ariel Ben Solomon:The fact is that Libya has relatively large oil reserves, which is an important reason for western military intervention.

　　Venezuelan President Maduro:Our country has the richest oil reserves in the world, and American imperialist rulers are looking at it and trying to get their hands on our oil, just as they did in Iraq and Libya.

　　Syrian President Bashar al-Assad:The United States harms the interests of other people, undermines international law, destroys the foundation of humanity, and so on, all for the sake of oil.

　　The military-industrial complex issued a "war windfall"

　　American military enterprises are closely related to the US government and Congress, forming a powerful military industry interest group. According to the survey report released by the Institute of Security Policy Reform, an independent think tank in the United States, from October 2001 to August 2021,Lockheed — Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing and northrop — Grumman Corp.The five American military giants received a total of $2.02 trillion from Congress. These arms dealers have also spent huge sums of money lobbying Washington politicians. As a result, not only have the US military spending been rising year after year, but they have also taken advantage of the intensification of various foreign policies and regional situations to promote arms around the world.

　　Andrew Hunter, Director of the Defense Industry Initiative Group of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the United States:For most defense industries, their biggest source of business is the Pentagon, so their fate follows the defense budget.

　　Control other countries and safeguard global hegemony

　　These interests, such as oil and arms, are only superficial reasons. What the United States has shown behind its years of belligerence is actually a hegemonic mentality of "giving priority to the United States and taking all the strong" and a unilateral thinking of "being the only one who cares about the world". Kurt Ritter, a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, published an article on the website of Russian TV today on the 11th, saying, "The United States is trying to reshape the world according to its own ideas. The United States feels that it is the most important country, and other countries should act in the direction guided by the United States, otherwise it will be the enemy of the United States. "

　　International political expert Giger:Since 1945, the foreign policy of the United States has always been to maintain hegemony at all costs in areas they consider strategic.

　　Iranian political analyst Huszcza Shm:This is the embodiment of (American) hegemony. The United States doesn’t care about other countries at all, and it doesn’t care about the United Nations. It thinks it is superior to other countries, so it dares to bully, invade and plunder the people of other countries. The attitude and behavior of the United States in the past 20 years can explain the fact that the United States simply doesn’t care about the values it preaches, such as democracy, the rule of law, and counter-terrorism. The United States only uses these as tools.

　　On May 15, 2019, the Supreme Leader of president, China delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Asian Civilization Dialogue Conference with the theme of "Asian Civilization Exchange and Mutual Learning and Community of Destiny", emphasizing that "civilizations exchange because of diversity, learn from each other because of exchange, and develop because of mutual learning", and put forward "China" on how to strengthen exchanges and mutual learning between different countries, different nationalities and different cultures in the world and consolidate the humanistic foundation of building a community of Asian destiny and a community of human destiny.

　　The initiative of building a community of human destiny was first put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader in 2013, and the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China took "promoting the building of a community of human destiny" as one of China’s major diplomatic thoughts in the new era. Insisting on promoting the building of a community of human destiny is an important part of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. The idea of "the community of human destiny" emphasizes that there is only one earth for mankind, and all countries coexist in one world. All countries take into account the legitimate concerns of other countries when pursuing their own interests, and promote the common development of all countries in their own development. The global value of the community of human destiny includes interdependent views of international power, common interests, global governance and sustainable development. This thought embodies China’s lofty goal of making greater contributions to world peace and development, and embodies China’s global vision, world mind and great country responsibility of unifying its own development with world development.

　　Why should we strengthen exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations? What is the relationship between the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations and the building of a community of human destiny? This paper analyzes and discusses these problems.

　　Why should we strengthen exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations?

　　Civilization or cultural diversity is the reality of human history and the contemporary world. On November 17, 2018, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader delivered a keynote speech at the APEC CEO Summit, stressing: "We live together on the same planet. This planet has more than 200 countries and regions, more than 2,500 nationalities and more than 7 billion people. It is impossible to be uniform. This difference should not be an obstacle to communication, let alone a reason for confrontation. The diversity, exchange and mutual learning of different civilizations, systems and roads can provide a powerful impetus for the progress of human society. "

　　Since the formation of human society, civilization or culture has shown a trend of diversified development. The formation and development of civilization or culture is closely related to its ecological environment. The ecological environment varies from place to place, and so does the culture. The paintings, sculptures, clay sculptures, pottery and houses all over the world from the late Paleolithic to the Neolithic discovered by archaeological excavations have different characteristics and styles, which shows that the diversity of human culture existed in the Stone Age. Throughout ancient and modern times, every nation has formed a distinctive culture because of its unique ecological environment and historical origin. Until the 21st century, the cultures of all nationalities in the world are still varied and colorful. Different ecological environments form different civilization systems; And different civilization systems have nurtured and created different nationalities with different personalities and values.

　　The diversity of civilization or culture is not only the heritage of human society, but also an undeniable fact. On November 2, 2001, the first article of the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity adopted by the thirty-first session of UNESCO pointed out that "cultural diversity" is "the common heritage of mankind". "Culture has different forms of expression in different times and different places. The concrete manifestation of this diversity is the uniqueness and diversity of the characteristics of various groups and societies that constitute human beings. " As far as the world’s major civilizations are concerned, many types have been formed very early. In the second half of 19th century, Russian historian and cultural philosopher N. Danilevsky (1822-1885) divided the world civilization into 10 categories: (1) Egypt; (2) Syria, Babylon, Phoenicia, Kardan or ancient Semitic; (3) China; (4) India; (5) Iran; (6) Hebrew; (7) Greece; (8) Rome; (9) Neosemitic or Arabic; (10) Germanic, Roman or Europa. Only two of them, Mexico and Peru, died out at an early stage. Bingler (1880-1936), a German historian, divided the world civilization into eight types: Egypt, Babylon, India, China, Greece-Rome, Arabia, the West and Mexico, in addition to the Russian civilization that has not yet been fully formed.Arnold Joseph Toynbee (1889-1975), a British historian, divided the civilizations in world history into 21 categories: among them, the first generation of civilizations directly produced from primitive society were: Egypt, Sumer, Minos, ancient China, Andes and Maya; The kinship civilizations derived from the first generation civilization are Hittite, Babylon, ancient India, Greece, Iran, Syria, Arabia, China, India, Korea, the West and Byzantium. In addition, there are five civilizations that died halfway: Polynesia, Eskimo, Nomad, Sparta and Ottoman. American political scientist Samuel P. Huntington (1927-2008) divided contemporary world civilizations into eight categories, namely, Western civilization, Chinese civilization (originally called Confucian civilization), Islamic civilization, Russian civilization, Japanese civilization, Indian civilization, Latin American civilization and African civilization.

　　Civilization or culture has relativity and blending. There is no distinction between advanced and backward civilization or culture. First, every country or nation has its own unique cultural traditions and values, which are incomparable with those of other countries or nations. Such as religious beliefs, values, ethics and customs, cannot be compared and measured. Second, the value of all civilizations or cultures is relative, there is no absolute value standard, and there is no difference between "backwardness" and "progress" in value of all civilizations or cultures. For example, the music, dance and drama of all ethnic groups have their own advantages and disadvantages. For another example, Westerners eat with knives and forks, while Chinese eats with chopsticks. There is no difference between high and low. Westerners usually wear white dresses at weddings, while Chinese usually wears red dresses, and there is no distinction between advanced and backward. Third, the value of every civilization or culture should be judged by the value system of the nation, and western values should not be imposed on others.

　　Cultural exchange is one of the important driving forces of cultural development, and it is also an important factor for the cultural richness and prosperity of all ethnic groups. Because culture is mixed and cumulative, all kinds of cultures that have been passed down in the world have been formed through long-term accumulation. Krober, an American anthropologist, said, "… … Broadly speaking, the process of cultural development is incremental, so it is also cumulative, while the process of biological evolution is basically a process of substitution. " According to the opinion of American anthropologist Ogburn (W.F.), "the reasons for cultural accumulation are due to two properties, one is the preservation of old culture, the other is the increase of new culture … … There is a certain relationship between the existing culture and the emergence of new culture … … The so-called accumulation of culture means that the new culture is incorporated into the number of existing cultures. " The accumulation of culture is a basic form of cultural growth and development. Any culture is accumulating all the time, either because of invention or because of introduction. Both invention and introduction are mostly caused on the basis of cultural exchange.

　　In primitive times, due to inconvenient transportation, there was little communication between different nationalities, and the development of national cultures mainly depended on their own internal changes and innovations. With the continuous development of transportation, the communication between different ethnic groups is becoming more and more frequent, and there are more and more contacts between different cultures and civilizations. All ethnic groups are constantly absorbing their own cultures from other ethnic groups. Especially since the industrial revolution, with the emergence of modern means of transportation such as automobiles, trains, ships and airplanes, various obstacles between countries and regions have been broken, and economic and cultural exchanges have become more and more frequent. All countries and ethnic groups have everything they have, but they have nothing to lose. It can be said that everything from a flower to a bean to economic, political and academic thoughts can not be separated from the general trend of free choice and free circulation.

　　As early as 1936, R Linton, a famous American anthropologist, gave an example in the book "A Study of Man", stating that modern American culture was mostly taken from other nationalities, and the main daily necessities of modern Americans were not invented and created by Americans themselves. He said, "American bathroom equipment is a mixture of European and American cultures, soap was invented by ancient Gauls, pajamas originated in India, soft slippers were invented by Indians, overshoes were made of rubber discovered by Central American Indians, coats came from Asian grassland nations, ties came from Croats, felt-topped hats came from Asian grassland regions, umbrellas came from Southeast Asia, glass came from Egyptians, tobacco came from Brazil and cigars came from Spain", and so on.

　　Protecting civilization or cultural diversity is the consensus of all countries in the world. On November 2, 2001, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity at its 31st session in Paris. The declaration is divided into five parts and 12 articles, which confirms that cultural diversity is a basic characteristic of human beings and provides a guarantee for countries to protect their own civilization or culture. On October 17th, 2003, UNESCO adopted the Convention for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage at the 32nd General Conference, which put forward clear principles and regulations for the protection of intangible cultural heritage in all countries of the world. On October 20, 2005, the thirty-third session of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization adopted the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, pointing out that cultural diversity has created a colorful world, encouraged dialogue among different cultures and promoted mutual respect and peaceful coexistence among different cultures. Generally speaking, protecting all kinds of civilizations and cultures in the world is the consensus of all countries in the world and the universal requirement of all ethnic groups.

　　Respecting and protecting the diversity of civilization or culture is the premise of ensuring world peace and security. Like biodiversity, the diversity of civilization leads to fragility and diversity leads to stability. Uniqueness leads to extremes, and diversity leads to inclusiveness. If only one civilization dominates the world, there can be no democracy and freedom in the world, let alone a peaceful and safe world.

　　Diversity and difference of civilizations are the basis of mutual exchange and learning among civilizations. On June 10, 2018, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader delivered a speech at the Qingdao Summit of the SCO, pointing out: "Although arguments such as clash of civilizations and superiority of civilizations have emerged from time to time, the diversity of civilizations is an inexhaustible motive force for human progress, and exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations are the common aspiration of people of all countries." On November 17, 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once again stressed in his keynote speech at the APEC CEO Summit that "differences should not be an obstacle to communication", let alone a reason for confrontation.

　　The diversity and difference of civilizations are the premise of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, not the root of conflicts. Any civilization is not self-enclosed in the long history of development, but maintains its own characteristics in mutual communication, learns from each other’s strong points in competition and comparison, and develops together in seeking common ground while reserving differences. If the two civilizations are exactly the same or similar, it is impossible to exchange and learn from each other, and it is impossible to learn from each other. All kinds of civilizations in the world are a mixture of various civilizations, some of which are inherent, and quite a few or even most of them are foreign.

　　Portland Russell, a famous British philosopher and thinker, attached great importance to the contact and complementarity of civilizations. In his book The Question of China published in 1922, he said: "The contact between different civilizations used to be a milestone in human progress. Greece learns from Egypt, Rome learns from Greece, Arabia learns from Rome, medieval Europe learns from Arabia, and Renaissance Europe learns from the Eastern Roman Empire. There are many precedents in which students are superior to teachers. As for China, if we regard him as a student, it may be another example. In fact, we have as much to learn from them as they have to learn from us, but we have far fewer learning opportunities. " It can be seen that as early as more than 90 years ago, Russell realized that every civilization has its own length, and the exchange and reference between different civilizations is an important factor to promote the development of human civilization.

　　What role does civilization exchange and mutual learning play in building a community of human destiny?

　　The exchange of civilizations and mutual learning provide a humanistic basis for the building of a community of human destiny. To build a community of human destiny, we must have a good humanistic foundation. On May 15, 2019, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader emphasized in his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Asian Civilization Dialogue Conference: We should "consolidate the humanistic foundation for building a community of Asian destiny and a community of human destiny." The so-called humanism is a cultural phenomenon created by people in their long-term survival practice and adapted to the local ecological environment. The article "Humanity" in Ci Hai states that "Humanity refers to various cultural phenomena in human society". Due to the different ecological environment and historical sources, different civilizations have different values, outlook on life, morality, food, clothing, housing and transportation, customs, literature and art, etc. There are also great differences in national character, way of thinking and cognitive style; Countries all over the world are working together to build a community of human destiny. Different civilizations must strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, so that they can understand each other, identify with each other, learn from each other and respect each other. Respect your own civilization and the civilization of others; Respect both strong and weak civilizations. As the Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "‘ Everything breeds without harming each other, and Tao runs parallel without contradicting each other. ’ We must respect the diversity of civilizations, promote exchanges and dialogues, peaceful coexistence and harmonious symbiosis among different civilizations, and we must not be exclusive and belittle other civilizations and nations. "

　　Therefore, "there should be dialogue between civilizations, not exclusion; Communicate, don’t replace. " Through exchanges and mutual learning, we can understand the reasons for the differences among civilizations, the strengths and weaknesses of other civilizations, and the strengths and weaknesses of our own civilization. Through exchanges and mutual learning, we can understand the national character, way of thinking and cognitive style of different civilized countries. Through exchanges and mutual learning, it is possible to realize that all civilizations are cultural systems created by human beings to adapt to the ecological environment, knowledge and experience created and accumulated by all ethnic groups in long-term production practice, and valuable heritage of all mankind; Only through exchanges and mutual learning can we realize the relativity of civilizations. There is no distinction between high and low civilizations, which has important historical value and practical significance. Through exchanges and mutual learning, it is possible to realize that "human beings only have different colors and languages, and civilizations only have different colors and colors", and it is possible to truly "respect each other and treat each other as equals" and to "promote exchanges, dialogues and harmonious coexistence among different civilizations". Through exchanges and mutual learning, it is possible to avoid conflicts and wars caused by misunderstandings between different civilizations, and it is possible to make some people realize that they think that "their own race and civilization are superior, and it is stupid in understanding and disastrous in practice to persist in transforming or even replacing other civilizations";It is possible to maintain world peace and development and build a community of human destiny. Therefore, "exchange and mutual learning is the essential requirement of the development of civilization" and "deepening humanities exchange and mutual learning is an important way to eliminate barriers and misunderstandings and promote mutual understanding and communication between the people".

　　The exchange of civilizations and mutual learning provide development impetus for the building of a community of human destiny. In the long history of development, any civilization is not self-enclosed, but learns from each other in competition and comparison, protects its own characteristics in mutual communication, and develops together in seeking common ground while reserving differences. Every civilization has its strengths and weaknesses. If the two civilizations are exactly the same or similar, it is impossible to learn from each other’s strengths and absorb new cultural factors, and civilizations will have no vitality. Any civilization will decline if it is "self-enclosed for a long time". Exchange and mutual learning are the essential requirements of the development of civilization. Only by communicating with other civilizations to learn from each other and learn from each other’s strengths can we maintain vigorous vitality. " Without vitality, a civilization will stagnate and decline. The demise of many civilizations in history is mostly caused by the loss of vitality.

　　First of all, the exchange of civilizations and mutual learning is the basis for the complementarity of human civilizations. The diversity of civilizations is the basic feature of human society, the premise of exchange and mutual learning of civilizations, and the basis of complementary civilizations. The more heterosexual and heterogeneous the civilization, the stronger the complementarity, and the more likely it is to absorb valuable things from each other. China philosophers realized the importance of cultural diversity and difference more than two thousand years ago, and thought that "difference" was the foundation of things’ complementarity and development, and only when different things complemented each other could they develop and prosper continuously. If things are the same, there will be no comparison and reference, and things will stagnate or even wither and die. Guoyu Zhengyu records what Shi Bo said at the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty: "Harmony with real creatures, the same will not continue", that is, things of the opposite sex and different natures coexist, and things of the same sex and the same nature are mutually exclusive, that is, things with different natures can be aggregated to produce new things; When things of the same nature are added repeatedly, they are still the original things, and it is impossible to produce new things, so they will stagnate or wither. "Like-sex repulsion, opposite-sex attraction" is the basic law of natural phenomena, as well as social and cultural phenomena. Heterosexual and heterogeneous things are complementary, while like-sex and homogeneous things are not complementary and mutually exclusive. Therefore, various cultures can communicate with each other, learn from each other and learn from each other.

　　Secondly, the exchange of civilizations and mutual learning is the premise of human civilization innovation. Diversity of civilization is the source of innovation and creation. It is manifested in three aspects: first, cultural innovation or the creation of a new culture, in many cases, is produced in the exchange of different civilizations, and many of them are created on the basis of foreign cultures or by absorbing their essence. Many famous dances, music, paintings, crafts, etc. at all times and all over the world are produced in the exchange of different cultures. Many dances and music popular in the modern west are created on the dances and music of African blacks and Indians. Second, many national literary and artistic creations are based on the national cultural traditions. Without the national cultural tradition, the works created will not have distinctive national characteristics. Article 1 of UNESCO’s Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity points out: "Cultural diversity is the source of communication, innovation and creation, which is as essential to human beings as biodiversity is to maintain biological balance." Third, most areas where culture is prosperous and developed are areas where cultural diversity coexists. One of the important reasons for the backwardness in some areas is that there are too few cultural exchanges and too single culture, and there are no conditions to absorb the essence of each other and learn from each other’s strengths. Historically, the more single a country or region’s culture is, the more conservative and exclusive it is, and the slower its social and cultural development is. In open and multicultural areas, social, economic and cultural development is also rapid. Therefore, any civilization must "To keep pace with the times and innovate and develop, we must "keep pace with the times and constantly absorb the essence of the times", otherwise there will be no vitality. We "should use innovation to increase the momentum of civilization development, activate the source of civilization progress, and constantly create civilized achievements that span time and space and are full of eternal charm."

　　Finally, the exchange of civilizations and mutual learning is an important measure to achieve sustainable development. Civilization or cultural heritage is a renewable resource with important value for a nation or country, and it is also an important resource for sustainable development, which can benefit future generations. Civilizations and cultural heritages of various countries have historical, artistic and scientific values, as well as research, appreciation and education values, as well as direct and indirect economic values. Every nation has its own unique lifestyle, customs, clothing, food, shelter and transportation, life rituals, music and dance, sculpture and painting, etc., which constitute a unique human landscape. Most developed and developing countries attach great importance to the protection, development and utilization of human resources. Because tourism driven by cultural heritage resources occupies a fairly high proportion in the economy of the whole country, the income of tourism and related industries in some countries is even the main financial income of the country. Tourists’ sightseeing in foreign countries is one of the forms of civilization exchange and mutual learning. Developing natural and human resources and tourism can not only make tourists appreciate the beauty of scenery and the beauty of landscapes in different countries and regions, but also appreciate the unique cultural customs of different countries and nationalities, enhance tourists’ understanding, recognition and respect of different civilizations, and also play a role in learning from each other. In this way, it is not only conducive to the sustainable economic development of the host country, but also conducive to exchanges and mutual learning between different civilizations, and more conducive to the building of a community of human destiny.

　　The diversity and difference of civilization are not the root of conflict, but the basis of complementarity and the premise of innovation and development.

　　To sum up, the reasons for strengthening exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations include: First, the diversity of civilizations is the reality of human history and the contemporary world; Second, civilization has the characteristics of relativity and blending; Third, protecting civilization or cultural diversity is the consensus of all countries in the world; Fourth, the diversity and differences of civilizations are the basis for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. Civilized exchanges and mutual learning play a very important role in the construction of a community of human destiny. First, civilized exchanges and mutual learning provide a humanistic foundation for the construction of a community of human destiny. Secondly, the exchange of civilizations and mutual learning provide a driving force for the building of a community of human destiny. Therefore, the diversity and difference of civilizations are not the root of conflict, but the basis of complementarity and the premise of innovation and development.

　　Judging from a large number of historical and contemporary facts, the more frequent and in-depth exchanges and mutual learning between different civilized countries, the more they agree and respect each other, the better the relations between countries, and the stronger the foundation for building a community of human destiny; The rarer and shallower exchanges and mutual learning are, the easier it is to misunderstand each other, and the easier it is to produce contradictions and conflicts. The relationship between countries will be in a state of tension, and there will be no basis for building a community of human destiny.

　　Chinese and western civilizations belong to two different types of civilizations, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. As early as the beginning of last century, Russell believed that both China and the West should keep their own strengths and learn from each other’s strengths, and never learn from each other’s weaknesses and keep their own weaknesses. He believes that the exchanges between China and the West can complement each other. He said: "The remarkable advantage of our civilization lies in the scientific method; The strength of China civilization lies in its reasonable understanding of the destination of life. People must want to see the two gradually combined. " "Exchanges between China and the West are good for both sides. They can learn essential practical efficiency from us; And we can learn some thoughtful wisdom from them. This wisdom has made China survive when other ancient countries have perished. " Russell even thought that China’s wisdom saved the western civilization and the world. He emphasized that "from the perspective of the overall interests of mankind, the arrogant self-confidence of Europeans and Americans will have a greater negative effect than that of Chinese’s slowness … … The way of life explored by Chinese has been followed for thousands of years. If it can be adopted by the whole world; There will definitely be more happiness and peace on earth than now. However, the European outlook on life advocates competition, development, never being calm, never being satisfied and destruction. The efficiency that leads to destruction can only bring destruction in the end, and our civilization is moving towards this end. If we don’t learn from the wisdom of the East, which has always been despised by us, our civilization will have no hope. "In the new era, Luo Su’s feeling that the essence of China culture can bring hope to human peace is becoming a reality.

　　Liang Qichao also emphasized the importance of exchanges and mutual learning between different civilizations. He believed that we must "use western civilization to expand my civilization, and use my civilization to subsidize western civilization, so that it can be combined into a new civilization." And said: "We account for a quarter of the world’s population, and we should be responsible for a quarter of the happiness of all mankind. If you don’t fulfill this responsibility, you are sorry for your ancestors, sorry for the human beings at the same time, but actually sorry for yourself. " The Chairman of the Supreme Leader stressed at the Asian Civilization Dialogue Conference: "We should not only make our own civilization full of vitality, but also create conditions for the development of other countries’ civilizations and make the world’s civilized gardens flourish."

　　In a word, the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations and the community of human destiny are two important ideas in the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, which will play an increasingly important role in maintaining world peace and security and building a new international order.
