1、2018年了解中国的崛起演讲稿-范文精选The world is changing with really remarkable speed. If you look at the chart at the top here, youll see that in 2025, these Goldman Sachs projections suggest that the Chinese economy will be almost the same size as the American economy. And if you look at the chart for 2050, its
2、projected that the Chinese economy will be twice the size of the American economy, and the Indian economy will be almost the same size as the American economy. And we should bear in mind here that these projections were drawn up before the Western financial crisis.A couple of weeks ago, I was lookin
3、g at the latest projection by BNP Paribas for when China will have a larger economy than the United States. Goldman Sachs projected 2027. The post-crisis projection is 2020. Thats just a decade away. China is going to change the world in two fundamental respects. First of all, its a huge developing
4、country with a population of 1.3 billion people, which has been growing for over 30 years at around 10 percent a year.And within a decade, it will have the largest economy in the world. Never before in the modern era has the largest economy in the world been that of a developing country, rather than
5、 a developed country. Secondly, for the first time in the modern era, the dominant country in the world - which I think is what China will become - will be not from the West and from very, very different civilizational roots.Now I know its a widespread assumption in the West that, as countries moder
6、nize, they also Westernize. This is an illusion. Its an assumption that modernity is a product simply of competition, markets and technology. It is not; it is also shaped equally by history and culture. China is not like the West, and it will not become like the West. It will remain in very fundamen
7、tal respects very different. Now the big question here is obviously, how do we make sense of China? How do we try to understand what China is? And the problem we have in the West at the moment by-and-large is that the conventional approach is that we understand it really in Western terms, using West
8、ern ideas. We cant. Now I want to offer you three building blocks for trying to understand what China is like - just as a beginning.Now what is extraordinary about this is, what gives China its sense of being China, what gives the Chinese the sense of what it is to be Chinese, comes not from the las
9、t hundred years, not from the nation state period, which is what happened in the West, but from the period, if you like, of the civilization state. Im thinking here, for example, of customs like ancestral worship, of a very distinctive notion of the state, likewise, a very distinctive notion of the
10、family, social relationships like guanxi, Confucian values and so on. These are all things that come from the period of the civilization state. In other words, China, unlike the Western states and most countries in the world, is shaped by its sense of civilization, its existence as a civilization st
11、ate, rather than as a nation state. And theres one other thing to add to this, and that is this: Of course we know Chinas big, huge, demographically and geographically, with a population of 1.3 billion people. What we often arent really aware of is the fact that China is extremely diverse and very p
12、luralistic, and in many ways very decentralized. You cant run a place on this scale simply from Beijing, even though we think this to be the case. Its never been the case.So this is China, a civilization state, rather than a nation state. And what does it mean? Well I think it has all sorts of profo
13、und implications. Ill give you two quick ones. The first is that the most important political value for the Chinese is unity, is the maintenance of Chinese civilization. You know, 2,000 years ago, Europe: breakdown, the fragmentation of the Holy Roman Empire Roman Empire. It divided, and its remaine
14、d divided ever since. China, over the same time period, went in exactly the opposite direction, very painfully holding this huge civilization, civilization state together.The second is maybe more prosaic, which is Hong Kong. Do you remember the handover of Hong Kong by Britain to China in 1997? You
15、may remember what the Chinese constitutional proposition was. One country, two systems. And Ill lay a wager that barely anyone in the West believed them. Window dressing. When China gets its hands on Hong Kong, that wont be the case. 13 years on, the political and legal system in Hong Kong is as dif
16、ferent now as it was in 1997. We were wrong. Why were we wrong? We were wrong because we thought, naturally enough, in nation state ways. Think of German unification, 1990. What happened? Well, basically the East was swallowed by the West. One nation, one system. That is the nation state mentality.
17、But you cant run a country like China, a civilization state, on the basis of one civilization, one system. It doesnt work. So actually the response of China to the question of Hong Kong - as it will be to the question of Taiwan - was a natural response: one civilization, many systems.Now the great a
18、dvantage of this historical experience has been that, without the Han, China could never have held together. The Han identity has been the cement which has held this country together. The great disadvantage of it is that the Han have a very weak conception of cultural difference. They really believe
19、 in their own superiority, and they are disrespectful of those who are not. Hence their attitude, for example, to the Uyghurs and to the Tibetans.Or let me give you my third building block, the Chinese state. Now the relationship between the state and society in China is very different from that in
20、the West. Now we in the West overwhelmingly seem to think - in these days at least - that the authority and legitimacy of the state is a function of democracy. The problem with this proposition is that the Chinese state enjoys more legitimacy and more authority amongst the Chinese than is true with
21、any Western state. And the reason for this is because - well, there are two reasons, I think. And its obviously got nothing to do with democracy, because in our terms the Chinese certainly dont have a democracy. And the reason for this is, firstly, because the state in China is given a very special
22、- it enjoys a very special significance as the representative, the embodiment and the guardian of Chinese civilization, of the civilization state. This is as close as China gets to a kind of spiritual role.And the second reason is because, whereas in Europe and North America, the states power is con
23、tinuously challenged - I mean in the European tradition, historically against the church, against other sectors of the aristocracy, against merchants and so on - for 1,000 years, the power of the Chinese state has not been challenged. Its had no serious rivals. So you can see that the way in which p
24、ower has been constructed in China is very different from our experience in Western history. The result, by the way, is that the Chinese have a very different view of the state. Whereas we tend to view it as an intruder, a stranger, certainly an organ whose powers need to be limited or defined and c
