1. China has a long history and profound heritage.

China is a country with a long history and profound cultural traditions. Pursuing harmony and cherishing peace has always been the basic value orientation of the Chinese nation. The traditional ideas such as "Harmony is the most precious", "Harmony but Difference" and "Harmonious Symbiosis" have profoundly influenced the values and codes of conduct of contemporary China people. This is the historical basis for China to take the road of peaceful development.

Second, China is a developing country with a population of 6543.8+300 million.

To build China into a modern country and let the 654.38+300 million people in China live a happy life, we must and can only rely mainly on the strength of the people in China. The government and people of China regard modernization as their greatest and most fundamental interest, devote themselves to maintaining a peaceful and stable international environment, and always be a staunch force for safeguarding world peace. This is the realistic basis for China to take the road of peaceful development.

Third, China is still a socialist country, and advocating peace is the essential attribute of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

China has written "striving for world peace and promoting the cause of human progress" into the Constitution, and solemnly promised the world that it will never seek hegemony, never expand and never become a superpower. It is the only nuclear country that has declared that it will not be the first to use nuclear weapons and will not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon States and nuclear-weapon-free zones. This is the institutional basis for China to take the road of peaceful development.

Extended data:

How to understand that China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development;

First, we must unswervingly hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win.

China pursues a non-aligned policy, advocates peaceful settlement of international disputes and hot issues, opposes resorting to or threatening to use force at will, and decides its position and policy according to the merits of the matter itself, upholding justice and upholding justice. As an important member of the international community, China is an important force for promoting world peace and development. Through its great contribution to the international community, China has won a good development environment for itself and achieved great development.

Second, we must resolutely defend national sovereignty, security and development interests and never give in to any external pressure.

The central task of China's diplomatic work is to create a good international environment and surrounding environment for building a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing socialist modernization. Strategic opportunities for peaceful development will not come out of thin air, but must be won and maintained through our efforts. We will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and we will never allow other countries to interfere in our internal affairs; We will not infringe upon the territory and sovereignty of other countries, nor will we allow other countries to infringe upon our sovereignty, security and development interests.

Third, we must resolutely oppose all forms of hegemonism and power politics and never seek hegemony.

Peaceful development is to break the traditional logic that "a strong country must dominate". When China becomes strong, it will always adhere to a defensive national defense policy, and will never engage in an arms race with any country or take the old road of aggression, expansion and world domination.

China will persist in combining the interests of the people of China with the common interests of the people of all countries, participate in international affairs in a more active manner, play a constructive role as a responsible big country, oppose new interventionism, oppose subversion of the legitimate political power of other countries, unite all possible forces of the international community, jointly meet global challenges and create a better future for mankind.
