Study On The Development Of Contemporary China's Diplomatic Idea

Diplomatic idea is both the product of diplomatic practice and the guidance of the diplomatic practice.Diplomatic idea fully embodies a country's diplomatic relations with other countries,and the diplomatic relations between one country and the world.Diplomatic idea reflects how the sovereign state recognizes and positions its national interests,power,status and so on,containing the deep thinking about a country's diplomatic power,purpose and means and many other fundamental problems,deeply representing a country's core values and historical and cultural traditions.Diplomatic idea rules the value principles which the national diplomacy follows,influences and even determines the diplomatic strategies and policy choices,and plays a vital role in the diplomatic calculation and practice,so is for our country.Represented by Mao Zedong,Deng Xiaoping and others,absorbing the essence of traditional culture,learning from Marxism on international relations,based on the Chinese socialist modernization construction,since more than 60 years ago the China's communist leaders have formed and developed a series of diplomatic ideas,which are "independence","peaceful coexistence","peaceful development","harmony in diversity","harmonious world" and "mutual benefit and win-win results"and "community destiny" etc.China's diplomatic practices guided by the diplomatic ideas have revealed some remarkable Chinese characteristics in safeguarding national interests,upholding national justice,revamping the diplomatic model and improving the diplomatic capability.It seldom used to study the China's diplomacy from the perspective of diplomatic ideas.The research of the development of the contemporary China's diplomatic idea helps us to better summarize the New China's diplomatic history development venation,help us under the complex international background better oriented to the future of China's foreign.Based on this,This current paper adopts text explanation,historical analysis and analytic hierarchy to study the development of the contemporary China's diplomacy.Diplomatic idea reflects a country's value orientation in the aspect of interest relations and embodies its world view,epistemology and methodology.Specific diplomatic idea mainly includes the understanding of the world,the comprehension of a country's own position and the thoughts about how to handle the relations with other countries The theory China's diplomatic ideas are based on includes::Firstly,the judgement for the theme of the time.It used to be "War and Revolution"has been transited to "Peace and Development".Secondly,the judgement for the world situation.The world was regarded as "Two Camps","Three Worlds",but it has been shifted to "Multiplicity" and"Harmonious World".Thirdly,the judgement for the self-knowledge.The social system has been transformed from "Socialism" emphasized by Mao Zedong to "the primary stage of Socialism"sustained by Deng Xiaoping.China's leaders consider that the socialist countries should make full use of various civilizations achievements which the capitalist countries have made to serve China's socialist construction.On diplomatic idea,several relations should be dealt with well.The first is the relation between contribution to human society and maintenance of national interests.It has been advocated that a country's development should be associated with the development of the world,and a country should base on rights and wrongs of the thing itself to determine its own position and make policies.The second is the relations between the powers and the developing countries.A new diplomatic layout has been presented that "the powers are the key,the surroundings are the primary,and the developing countries are the foundation".The third is the relation between national diplomacy and inter-party intercourse.The principle that is "independence,complete equality,mutual respect,non-interference in each other's internal affairs" has been proposed to strengthen inter-party relationship and communication.The fourth is the relation between principle firmness and strategy flexibility.It has been proposed that we should combine steadfastness of principle with flexibility of tactics so as to maintain national interests and achieve mutually beneficial cooperation.Since the New China was founded,some diplomatic ideas have formed.Especially since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China,building a new type of relationship between major countries is an important task on the agenda for contemporary Chinese foreign strategy.President Xi Jinping has outlined what he termed a new type of relationship between major countries,which is characterized by "mutual understanding and strategic trust mutual respect for 'core interests',mutually beneficial cooperation".The president Xi Jinping has also proposed a "Pro,Honesty,Benefit,Tolerance" concept as China's peripheral diplomacy important guidelines,and put forward creating "Silk Road Economic Zone" and "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" and so on.These new ideas make the Chinese diplomacy have a new image.China's diplomatic ideas have been originated from Marxism on international relations and the essence of traditional culture.This paper utilizes the analytic hierarchy process to comprehensi vely analyze the cause of diplomatic ideas' formation and development from international and domestic sides.It has been thought that the changes of the international strategic structure and China's relations with the international community are mainly the international reasons.New China's national interests,China's openings to the outside world and modernization practices are the domestic reasons.Diplomacy idea and diplomacy practice supplement each other.In the future,China's diplomatic will certainly play a more important and more productive role in some fields,such as in constructing and consolidating the international multipolar and international system,leading the strategic thinking,and taking responsibilities as a power country and so on.It will test China's diplomacy and inspect the courage and creativity of China's diplomacy what kind of foreign policy China will put forward,how to deal with the relationship with the outside world,and what kind of world view,time view,and value view are to be proposed.Not only can diplomacy idea explain the reasons why China has carried out a specific foreign policy in a certain particular stage,but also accordingly can judge the future development of China's diplomacy,for diplomatic ideas incorporate a variety value concepts.
