Recently, a series of shocking events on the international stage have been jaw-dropping: Serbian President Vučić received death threats, relations between India and the United States have taken a nosedive, and the Czech prime minister has been assassinated...... What's wrong with this world? Is it true that extremism is rife and peaceful coexistence has become a luxury?
Speaking of which, behind these incidents there is a strong atmosphere of antagonism and conflict. In this era of globalization, countries are increasingly interconnected, but at the same time, various contradictions and differences are becoming more and more prominent. Sometimes, a small disagreement can cause an uproar and even affect the stability of the entire international community.
Take, for example, the death threats that Vučić received. As the president of Serbia, he has always been a symbol of the country's stability. Recently, however, he has been threatened by extremists because of his political views. This makes one wonder: why are there still people so hateful and extreme in this seemingly peaceful era?
Let's talk about India-US relations. The two powers, which have long been important players on the international stage, have recently been at loggerheads over a number of trade and geopolitical issues. The back-and-forth between the two sides has made people worry about whether this dispute will lead to a greater crisis.
There is also the attempted assassination of the Czech prime minister, which is even more frightening. The fact that the prime minister of a country would be assassinated in public is simply a great challenge to national security and public order.
As the leader of Serbia, Vučić has always been respected by the people at home for his steady political wisdom and firm national stance. However, such a president, who is loved by the people, has recently received death threats. This can't help but make people sigh that in this seemingly peaceful era, hatred and extremist ideas can still be so rampant.
The relationship between India and the United States is even more staggering. These two countries, which have always played an important role on the international stage, have recently been at loggerheads over seemingly trivial trade and geopolitical issues. The two sides come and go, accusing each other, as if they want to put each other to death before they give up. Such antagonism and conflict not only harms the interests of the two countries, but also brings destabilizing factors to the international community.
The attempted assassination of the Czech prime minister is even more heart-wrenching. The fact that the leader of a country is assassinated in public is simply a great challenge to national security and public order. Such extreme behavior not only threatens the safety of individual lives, but also shakes the foundation of social stability.
In the face of these shocking events, we can't help but ask: what's wrong with the world? Is there no way to resolve these contradictions and conflicts?
In fact, the answer may lie in our traditional Chinese culture - the golden mean. The golden mean is an impartial, compromised attitude and method. It believed that the interests and needs of all parties should be taken into account when dealing with the problem, and a balance should be sought that would be acceptable and satisfactory to all parties.
When dealing with international relations, the golden mean is also of great guiding significance. In the face of the complex and ever-changing international situation and the endless contradictions and conflicts, we should abandon extremist ways of thinking and acting and adopt the golden mean to deal with problems. Only in this way can we truly achieve the goal of peaceful coexistence and common development.
Of course, the golden mean does not mean that we should compromise and make concessions without principle. Rather, it emphasizes the search for consensus and cooperation on the basis of principle. In the face of international contradictions and conflicts, we should remain calm and rational and resolve the issue through dialogue and consultation, rather than resorting to confrontation and retaliation.
In addition, the golden mean also emphasizes the idea of "harmony is precious". In international relations, countries should respect each other, treat each other as equals, and achieve win-win cooperation. We should abandon the zero-sum game mindset and instead pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win development path. Only in this way can we jointly address global challenges and achieve harmony and progress in human society. In short, the golden mean is an ideological concept worthy of admiration and promotion.
