摘要
Civilization-related issues have attracted attention because they affect international relations, global governance and international order.World politics and the Clash of Civilizations theory proposed by Western strategic circles raise risks of inter-civilization conflicts, whereas China’s framework of building a community with a shared future for mankind advocates peace. Although civilizations are bound to diversify, and conflicts are endemic between vastly distinct civilizations, there is a proper basis for peaceful coexistence in exchanges and mutual learning.China holds that civilizations are diverse, equal and tolerant, and that different civilizations should learn from each other’s civilization concept and actively practice it. For future relations between Chinese and Western civilizations, China promotes the benign interaction of inter-civilization exchanges and mutual learning, and the building of a community with a shared future.
