China is re-humanizing the west dehumanized world 

          Frank (Hongde) Li, Nov. 9, 2024

In April 18, 2023, the President of European Commission Ms. von der Leyen, in the speech at the European Parliament Plenary on the need for a coherent strategy for EU-China relations, who soberly indicates that: “for centuries China have helped to shape world civilization; and in the last decades, they have really transformed the economy of their country, lifting more than 800 million people out of poverty in the last 45 years and transformed into a modern-day economic powerhouse, key global player and a leader in many of the cutting-edge technologies that will certainly shape the next decades of global civilization and progress.”

Please remember that the achievements of China of Ms. von der Leyen indicated; were made based on the destroyed ruins with huge war reparations from a century long killing and looting of Western allies and US black ships tamed Japan; which started since 1840 British armed selling opium after government of China banned opium trade in 1839. The opium trade started in 1773, where British forced Indians growing opium, and then selling it to China.

How did that for centuries China has helped to shape world civilization

British submarine captain Gavin Menzies traveled around the world due to his profession and was shocked by the remains of Zheng He's fleet all over the world. After retiring, he spent 14 years at his own expense, visited historical sites in 120 countries and more than 900 libraries, museums and archives, and wrote 1421: The Year China Discovered the World and 1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance.

He wrote that in 1434, a Chinese fleet arrived in Tuscany, Italy, and presented the Pope with a large number of books covering various fields: geography, astronomy, mathematics, art, printing, architecture, steel manufacturing, civil engineering, military affairs, weapons, surveying, cartography, etc. From then on, Europeans accepted Chinese ideas, discoveries, and inventions. The understanding and learning of China inspired the creativity of the Renaissance and formed the foundation of European civilization.

The amazon.com introduced that in book, Gavin Menzies revealed that it was the Chinese that discovered America, not Columbus. It was also Chinese advances in science, art, and technology that formed the basis of the European Renaissance and our modern world. Until now, scholars have considered that the Italian Renaissance - the basis of our modern Western world - came about as a result of a re-examining the ideas of classical Greece and Rome.

Also since 1400s, European missionaries continuously enter China and they translate the culture of China back home to have triggered great response and discussion throughout the Europe and enlightened the development of modern economics; also triggered Renaissance, Enlightenment and French Revolution by a genetic hobby of bloody killing to push Europe entered the new Dark Ages with new type of beast play. 

According to the practice of François Quesnay, Voltaire, Leibniz and other enlightenment thinkers of Europe; the Europe was nearly successfully following the political practice of China in Technocratic Democracy through Examination selecting learned people as officials; then Human society would avoid the catastrophe of the First World Wars. However, the good was turned bad by French political philosopher Montesquieu (1689 – 1755).

In the "Spirit of Law", Montesquieu ignored the humanized approach of China choosing talents through the Imperial Examination in Technocratic Democracy, but defined China as autocracy and imperial dictatorship; by which he provided confidence for people condemning China as dictatorship until this day.

Also Montesquieu fabricated over humanized idea of the democracy with separation of powers became beast demon that has been ruining world by favoring the inhuman people, who have no basic human intelligence for reasoning the bad consequence on what they are doing and driving Gov-power to recklessly ruin world.

Today, the abundance of material wealth can be called Affluent Society; but please look at the world; even in rich democracies; people even work harder, but there are still increasingly people, who are unable to make their ends meet. In underdeveloped countries, some people even sell their organs to support their families.

Oct. 28, 2024, in Spain, the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs & Security Policy, Dr. Josep Borrell, who warns that: world is “on the brink of a major fire” ,“we have lost our humanity.” Now human beings faced with multi-destructions: Atomic Cremation, WWIII; Neoliberalism Makes Depression; and Life Threat Home Yards.

British media Unherd interviews with American Professor John Mearsheimer: How the ‘realists' won. In which Professor John Mearsheimer said the “I've been to China many times, I love going to China, I love the Chinese people and in fact I'm more at home intellectually in China than I am in the west, because the Chinese are basically realists, whereas in the west people are instinctively liberal and they instinctively don't like realism, because it's such a pessimistic way of thinking about the world in past years.”

“When I've gone to China I've often started my Talks by saying it's good to be back among my people, I don't speak a word of Chinese and I feel like I'm a fish out of water culturally, when I'm in China. But intellectually the Chinese are my kind of people, they're realists very interested in theory, I've never gone to any country where people are more interested in international relations theory and talking about the big issues.”

It was just because of the west people are instinctively liberal and they instinctively don't like realism, they recklessly promote liberal world by stationing troops and spy agencies everywhere, instigate color revolutions, military coups, create social unrests, and prevent people from making a living in their homes to enter the waves of refugees to roam around the world to make the people in other country cannot live as human.

No one dared say oneself as best historian when facing with the outstanding works - 12-volume A Study of History (1934–1961) of Arnold Joseph Toynbee  (1889 –1975), the greatest British historian, a philosopher of history.

In 1973, Dr. Arnold Toynbee held dialogue with the famous Japanese social activist Daisaku Ikeda on human society and the contemporary world; which spanned two years in totaling 10 days and up to 40 hours. Then published as Looking forward to the 21st century - Toynbee and Daisaku Ikeda dialogue, and was translated and published in many languages. Below were the excerpt-translated from a Mandarin article of Chinese Civilization Will Unify the World - Prophecy of British Historian Toynbee in Feb. 26, 2018.

When replying “If you reborn as a human, what country are you willing to be born in and what kind of work wants to do?” Dr. Toynbee replied without any hesitation: “I am willing to be born in China. Because I felt that China will play a very important role in the future for all mankind. If I was born as a Chinese, I think I can do something worthwhile." As a Chinese, “If the world has not merged, I will work hard to integrate it. If the world has merged, then I will try to shift the world from material-centered to spiritual-centered.”

Daisaku Ikeda said that the peaceful integration of mankind and the rejuvenation of spiritual culture are also the subjects entrusted to him by Doctor. The method proposed by the Doctor for this is “conversation”.

For the comments of Dr. Toynbee "as a possibility of the future, China may rule the world and colonize it," Daisaku Ikeda argued (in book, not in face to face) with that, my idea is that China is not so much a nation that promotes the conviction of conquest, but rather a conservative who wants peace and safe in nature. In fact, as long as someone does not invade China at first, China will never preempt. In modern times, the Opium War, the Sino-Japanese War, the Korean War, and the wars related to China so far can be called self-defense wars, which were the normal reaction that has to be done.

Please remember that the dialogue was held in 1973, at that time, China did not make economic reform yet, the economic situation was in the most difficult period without any hope can be seen.

Obviously, the judgment of the famous historian Dr. Arnold Toynbee about China was according the civilization historically. It said that Dr. Arnold Toynbee was unwilling to talk about the civilization of the West and said that “Of the twenty-two civilizations that have appeared in history, nineteen of them collapsed when they reached the moral state as the United States is in now.”

As great historian, obviously, the Dr. Arnold Toynbee was well understood human civilization globally than that of any others; he was most understanding which civilization was properly humanized and was unwilling to waste time on those inhuman one.

Here I have to indicate that though Dr. Arnold Toynbee was rational; but could not get rid of the European looting and killing bloody fed mentality of China may rule and colonize the world as that of inhuman deeds of the West; which is the leading view of the West on China in today.

But as you see, the view of Daisaku Ikeda was radical difference; because of he has the genes mostly from Confucian culture of China; historically, Japan was a country that was influenced the most by the culture of China and long in pursuing for peace; even right now it is still in use of Chinese characters; but, after being tamed by the black ships of the United States, it also began to endlessly plunder and kill, until killed about 30 millions of Asians by provoking world war II.

The view that China may rule and colonize world shows that even if the greatest historian Dr. Arnold Toynbee could not get rid of the limitation of intelligence that trapped by own acquired knowledge.

The Middle East became a "powder keg" after the discovery of a large amount of oil resources, coupled with religious and ethnic conflicts and foreign forces, triggered the Arab Spring, and Turkey and Egypt's diplomatic relations were downgraded, Syria was expelled from the Arab League, Saudi Arabia and Iran broke off diplomatic relations, many countries broke off diplomatic relations with Qatar, and civil unrest broke out in Yemen, etc.

As China mediated the restoration of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran at the ambassadorial level, a wave of "great reconciliation" appeared in the hostile countries in the Middle East.

Either they contacted and reconciled themselves, or they sought mediation from China, achieving a larger range of reconciliation and pursuing peace. The reconciled enemy countries checked their accounts and reflected on the history of hostile events. As a result, they found that many events that caused hatred and conflict between each other were deliberately created by others.

As Dr. Arnold Toynbee wished, now China by Belt and Road Initiative helps other countries build infrastructure, develop economies, integrate the cultures and economies of long hostile feuds countries that have long been hatred fragmented by the West, promote mutual understanding, eliminate and avoid conflicts, and develop a world of peace and common prosperity. This is the only way to avoid wars and make people make livings in home places.

But the rational practice of China is treated as threat with all kinds of rumors, such as debt trap. The US strategist David Goldman sighed:”the United States have tended to look at these places (global south) as baggage; so we don't take them seriously. The Chinese take them seriously and the longest the biggest challenge to American influence in the world long term is China's ability to integrate billions of marginalized people into the world economy. You're talking about people going from making $2 a day which is misery and degradation to 10 or 15 a day which is the beginning of dignity. 

Obviously, the practice of China is the rational humanized manner as human beings should be. It is beneficial to the people all over the world in peace without wars. The approach of the West is destroying themselves and world.
