On The Construction Of China's Soft Power And Its Strategic Significance

Power in international politics has always been a core concept, but a long time, the concept of power is a more realistic point of the power to define the material that is economic, military, etc. can see the see the "hard power", 1990, well-known American scholar Joseph·Nye the first time the "soft power" concept, begun to emphasize non-material factors (such as culture, values and national rules, etc.) impact on international relations, making the power of thinking of a more comprehensive and improved.The first time the power of Nye is divided into "hard power" and "soft power." According to his explanation, "hard power" is usually associated with military and economic power, such as the specific resources as the 'hard command power'; "soft power" refers to such as culture, ideology and the system of abstract resources and decision preferences of others' assimilation-style soft power '. "Soft power" of the concept proposed by a lot of controversy, many people on the effectiveness of soft power and soft and hard power to the role of small Which Which major issues to heated arguments. The author believes that the hard power and soft power have never been mutually exclusive relationship. Taken together with the power of an important part of a nation's comprehensive strength is also indispensable to the two aspects. Only the two complement each other, rely on each other to enable a country to play its real influence.Theory research is to better guide our practice, especially in today's international situation has increasingly become soft power of a country's international status as the core element of soft power and therefore a systematic study and for my use, has become China's a focus on strategic thinking. Construction of soft power of China's diplomatic strategy has an important meaning: First of all, from the international environment, the construction of China's soft power is a sensible response to the international situation. End of the Cold War, human history entered a new era. Peace and development have become the themes of the times, economic globalization and regional development cooperation. Responsive to this development of the international situation, countries have to adjust their foreign strategy to win in the international community more opportunities and more room for development. For China, the reform and opening up the development of 30, the initial formation of China's rising national primitive accumulation. Nevertheless, subject to certain international and domestic factors, such development is not a straightforward process, as evidenced problematic. Especially in the new century, the diplomatic strategy of peaceful rise of China will put forward to the location of the air waves. In this case, we should strive to maximize a favorable international environment of peace, in the diplomatic strategy of China's soft power by adding a factor, making China's development with the international community to form a benign interaction; Secondly, the construction of soft power also can reduce the resistance to China's peaceful rise. In 2003, China put forward a diplomatic strategy of peaceful rise concept, declared to the world that the Chinese want to re-enter the world power of Lin's determination, but also invite the international community's doubts and misgivings, the sharp increase in international pressure on China. In order to appease the anxiety of other countries to reduce the resistance to my peaceful rise through the system, and cultural "soft power" of the building and innovation will be a wise choice; Third, soft power will also help China to build a new set international image. At present, the world has entered an era of the image of victory, the international image of being regarded as a sovereign state, one of the most important intangible assets. For China, the regional powers from the world of the historical process of great power, the country's image is related to China's overall national interests to maintain and expand overseas, as well as the rise of China to the extent to which the international community accepted and recognized. However, China's national image can not keep up the pace of the rapid rise of China and other countries on China's views, "those who remained in the past the concept of banal, full of stubborn prejudice and fear." This requires us to change and optimize our position in the international community to enhance exchanges with the outside world of soft power to win the international system in other countries, the rapid development of China's growing recognition and support.Since reform and opening up, China's soft power has been comprehensive and rapid rise of China and gradually form a real "soft power" advantage. However, the control of the strategic positioning of China's soft power resources and the status quo, China's soft power still has great room. I think we should be at least the following aspects in the efforts to increase the building. First of all, through the construction of national image to promote the improvement of China's international image. In general, more emphasis on soft power to promote the role of domestic factors. This requires China to accelerate the pace of building a harmonious society and achieving economic development and social progress of the upgrade, to ensure political stability and cultural prosperity, democracy and the rule of law and fair implementation of justice, which constitute the centripetal force of China and the international influence of the base; Second, vigorously carry forward the the fine traditional Chinese culture, shaping the "Chinese cultural circle." Soft power culture is an important source of core values, but also a state and nation's survival and development of the spiritual foundation and to give the acts of state to national characteristics, the comprehensive national strength will have a great deal of positive and negative effects. In order for the international community understand China based on the recognition of our values, we need to increase cultural awareness of our efforts will be increased to carry forward the traditional culture as well as the basic national policy of the national strategy level. Adhere to traditional Chinese culture-based, open culture at the same time, strongly absorb the essence of other cultures, in reshaping the world, "Chinese cultural circle", to achieve the renaissance of national culture, and cope with and promote their international competitiveness and strengthen; article Third, the creation of international mechanisms to strengthen capacity, and foster the image of a responsible great power. As China's national strength and international prestige of the increase in in-depth participation in the international community, the Chinese system of international understanding and awareness of the more profound. Take the initiative to create an international system to better safeguard and expand the national interest is bound to become a strategic choice. I believe that international mechanisms in dealing with the issue of future development, we can adopt the following strategic choices: at the international level, active participation in international mechanisms, undertake corresponding obligations and enjoy the corresponding rights and interests of the international mechanism for the reform of constructive attitude existing international mechanisms to promote democratization, rationalization of the direction of development; in the regional level, to participate actively in the formulation of new international mechanisms, in due course led to the expression of their will and interests of most countries, thereby expanding China's influence; Finally, international organizations as a platform, make a difference in international affairs. International organizations and international resources as a tool for international exchanges, which in today's world have become increasingly popular recently made the success or failure of each country are closely related with international organizations, especially in China. As the degree of importance attached to international organizations rising, China has become an active participant in international organizations, in a growing number of global issues in the footsteps of the Chinese left. Of course we achieved at the same time there are still insufficient, in view of these deficiencies, we need to intensify research on international organizations, and grasp the development of international organizations and new developments; in the current reform and international organizations at a time when changes take the initiative to undertake reform, and improve the task of international organizations to make it in the maintenance of the development of China's future at the same time the legitimate rights and interests, the benefit of other members of the international community. Believe that through our efforts, the building of China's soft power will achieve better results, the peaceful rise of China's diplomatic strategy to achieve the end!...
