The national interest is not only a history but also an international politics concept. Because of the differences of the views on world, values and culture, people show greater differences and varieties in knowing and understanding the national interest, and forms different views on national interest. The national interest view of Mao ZeDong refers to Mao's view on national interest and the national interest practice.The national interest view of Mao Zedong has an important rule to new China and the national interest practice of the CCP,therefore, studing and discussing the view of Mao Zedong's national interest not only is advantageous to understand and study the party's and the national guide line comprehensively, thoroughly and systematically,also advantageous to help the people to understand the history of the PRC and the CCP correctly,and also significant to understand the new Chinese developmental strategy and its inherent rule correctly and to strive and maintain today's national interest.Any kind of thought is the product of its time, it always is related to its social history condition and cantn't be separated from its time.The production and the development of Mao Zedong's national interest view also cannot leave the time's characteristics and social history condition. It can be said that the two-pole pattern exists and develops in the world, the opposition and struggle are all the international background for Mao Zedong's natoinal interest thought.It also has its domestic background,such as the development and occurrence of China's new democratic revolution, the socialist revolution and construction. Mao Zedong's national interest view comes from not only from China's traditional culture essence, the inheritance and development of Marxism's view on national interest, but from the nutrition of China and foreign country's social practice. On the other hands, the connotation and the practice methods of national interest view of Mao ZeDong have greater difference before and after the Communist Party of China taking the power and the foundation of the Peoples Republic of China.The connotation of the national interest view of Mao ZeDong is full of great richness. In the national security interest, Mao ZeDong thinks that the most important benefit is to keep the independence and wholeness of soverenty and territory, the minorities'unities and the reuniting of country. According to the real external environments and domestic situations after the foundation of the People's Republic of China, he thinks it is better to take positive defense methods to strengthen china's security interest against foreign invasion and dare to fight it.About the national politics interest, Mao ZeDong tries to strengthen New government and gain international acknowledgement, to devote to promote China's international status and international space widely by stabilizing the development of domestic politics. He thinks to gain and maintain new-born China's politics interest that can only be realized by external and domestic ways, on terms of civil affairs, the most important aim of national interest strategy is to found politics system that could gain national identity. In terms of foreign relations, the key point of foreign strategy is to develop"friendly neighborhood"relations with neighboring countries. Only through this way could the national interest be reached and guaranteed.On the terms of national economic interest, what Mao thinks the urgent is to get rid of the old way of developing in old China that was limited by others. China should establish industry system, national economic system adapting to China's situation and formulate the national economic development strategy and stage with Chinese characteristic, which could lay indestructible foundation and seek for economic interest to the new- born China. So he manages to develop productivity in domestic affairs and use the communication and cooperation of economy and technology with overseas as basic methods to realize and maximize the economic interest.As to culture interest, He proposes to construct socialism culture system and ideology with national culture identity on the premise of totally understanding the failures and shortcomings of feudalism and capitalism's culture system. He hopes it could provide strong mental power and intelligent support for a modernized socialism power. To reach the goal, he emphasizes the importance and meaning of the education of idea and politics, the main stream of ideology and the battle turned against the peaceful movement in gaining and maintaining national culture interest. Although it might not be the best way to achieve the goal, that could reach an ideal result in current historic conditions.No matter the national interest view of Mao Zedong is right or wrong, whether it is success or failure in directing the practice of national interest, it all depends on Mao Zedong's knowledge and judgment on the theme of his times, it corresponds to his view on ideology, views and methods of class struggle. It's more related to his particular personal thought and national physiology.As the top leader of New-born China, it couldn't deny that the national interest view of Mao ZeDong has higher historic status with characteristic of China and adapts to the times, particularly has historical characteristic in the process of leading Chinese revolution and construction.It's obvious that the national interest view of Mao ZeDong is not perfect, it has its own obvious historic limits,but the national interest's view of Mao ZeDong could provide benefits for the current practice of national interest. It has become a historic certainty in China as he passed away, but the experiences and lessons will not lose historic and real value with the end of Mao's times.Thus, on the way of seeking for national interest, it should be a scientific attitude of Marxist scholar to summarize and reflect the success and failure, the wrong and right on the national interest view of Mao ZeDong and its practice.
