China unlikely to become militaristic hegemony, says official
L'essentiel
- China's ruling Communist Party official Sun Haiyan stated that China, with its ingrained principle of "harmonious coexistence," is unlikely to transform into a militaristic hegemony that oppresses weaker nations.
- She attributed this to China's history and cultural genes, which are passed down through generations, contrasting it with countries that have a history of war.

Sun Haiyan, deputy head of the Communist Party's International Department, stated that China's "harmonious coexistence" principle makes it difficult to become a militaristic hegemony. She linked this to China's history and cultural genes.
“For a country like China, which has ‘harmonious coexistence’ embedded in its DNA, it is extremely difficult to undergo a ‘genetic mutation’ and become a militaristic hegemony that bullies the small and weak,” said Sun Haiyan, deputy head of the party’s International Department.
The event was organised by the South China Morning Post.
She said the country’s history had influenced its cultural genes, which, like biological genes, “will be passed down through the generations in a large proportion”.
“For example, some countries in the world have a history of war, so it is really difficult for them to maintain peace for a long time.”
