Contemporary World Politics and China’s Role
Chinese civilization is essentially an amalgam of different cultures, religions, and ethnic traits, and is accordingly very diverse. Chinese people advocate the mutual fusion of civilizations and cultures; they do not support separation, enmity, or ethnic division, let alone the settling of religious, sectarian, ethnic, or national conflicts by means of violence. The role that China can and, indeed, should fulfill is that of a nation that mediates between different civilizations and peoples and promotes global harmony.
In reality, the concept of harmony advocated by China is also expressed in other cultures and religions throughout the world; only the modes of understanding and expression differ.
At the same time, they will deepen common perceptions and promote mutual understanding with countries of differing social systems and values. The third characteristic of contemporary world politics is that the centers of power and wealth and the engines of growth are shifting. China, India, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, and other emerging countries are seizing the opportunity for growth provided by globalization, rapidly augmenting their national power and exerting greater international influence.
China does not determine its security policy or organize or participate in military alliances based on a demarcation between East and West, however.

China maintains a policy of openness in its cooperative relations with the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, while also taking into consideration the interests and requests of countries outside the region. Its economic cooperation has already become global in scale.
China has experienced the most rapid development of any emerging economy, such that its demands on external resources and markets have reached considerable proportions. Additionally, as a socialist state under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, a great deal of attention has come to focus on what role China will fulfill in the process of the shift in international power and wealth.
The history of international relations shows that, as a rule, when a new great power emerges, it destroys the existing balance of power, dealing a blow to global stability and provoking international conflict. This way of thinking has gained considerable sway. China takes this brand of thinking very seriously as it goes about its international affairs, for it is a problem to which the country cannot avoid responding. The world wants to know how China will assess and leverage its power and influence, which continue to grow stronger by the day. It is more important for the country to follow a set pattern of behavior and have a clearly defined strategy, and to shatter the historical precedent of the so-called tragedy of great power politics.
