The law of the jungle is the biological law of survival of the fittest and the law of the law of the jungle in nature. Resources in nature are limited, and only the strong can get the most. Competition between countries and regimes, competition between enterprises and between people, must follow the law of the jungle, and as for the results of competition, it depends on their respective strengths, wisdom, means and the ability to transform or adapt to the world.
Western countries believe in the law of the jungle very much, their history has also been developed in this way, their culture and philosophical thinking are also based on the law of the jungle, pay attention to the survival of the fittest, from their own interests, culture, point of view, they seem to be civilized, but compared with the Chinese nation, there is a big gap.
The ancestors of Western countries mostly belonged to the nomadic peoples, and later the great voyages also confirmed this, their history is constantly invading and plundering, unlike the ancestors of the Chinese nation, who have long been farming peoples, and if they hold their own acres and three points of land, they can feed themselves and even be rich, our hearts are only on our land, and we have developed a good quality of self-sufficiency.
Many people criticize Zheng He for going to the West, saying that he is a boy who scatters wealth, unlike Columbus who discovered the New World and opened a new era for the West, but Zheng He did not scatter wealth or not, did not plunder a grass and tree in other countries, his purpose was to spread Chinese culture, and Columbus's purpose was to bloodily plunder, kill, and exterminate the nation, for the American continent, he was a complete demon, the same as Hitler.
In our history, we have constantly absorbed the surrounding nationalities and joined our large collectives, and we have never relied on aggression and purging; in many cases, they invaded us, and then slowly became us, like the Manchu Qing, who had a particularly large number of nationalities in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and under very powerful circumstances, voluntarily became part of the Chinese nation, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Yang Guang, and Li Shimin all had foreign ancestry.
Of course, we sometimes launch wars with the outside world, but basically because the wandering peoples constantly harass us, forcing them to really have no way out, they attacked, just like Wei Qing and Huo went to the north to attack the Xiongnu, before that, constantly and kindly, constantly give money, we adhere to the principle of talking about whether we can talk about it or not, we can not fight without fighting, everyone lives a good life, unlike these Western countries, if they do not fight, their hearts are itchy.
Before the pre-Qin, the Chinese nation had already abandoned the law of the jungle, and what it pursued was to be good to people and fight without controversy, our war was a lot of nonsense, for us, war is only a means, conquering people's hearts is the fundamental, there is no just and bright reason for war, it is better to be wronged than to fight.
We have never flaunted our strength with a big stick to other countries and nationalities, we have relied on convincing people with reason, subduing people with virtue, fighting and killing people, too barbaric, too cruel, and the Western countries are still like this today, the two world wars are self-directed by Westerners, and shamelessly put peace on their lips, the Americans tossed and divided Korea, went to Vietnam tossed, destroyed Iraq into disfigurement, and then went to Afghanistan to show off their might!
No matter how far away history is, nor do we scold westerners for being brutal, we do not boast about ourselves, lay out the facts and be reasonable, since 1860, Chinese have not taken the initiative to fight any country, all wars are on China's own land, this is our problem? Or is it your problem in the West? Is it our cultural problem, or is it your liberal democracy problem?
