Michael Dunford: Why China chooses harmony and the West hegemony

Western thought, says Michael Dunford, emeritus professor at the University of Sussex, is rooted in the idea of imposing form – a mold – on matter, and the matter to be shaped is other parts of the world. The mold is its own image. Hence, he says, Western powers claim moral superiority to justify regime change, intervention and war. Chinese philosophy, he argues, starts with relationships. How we can live in relation to others, how we can create a harmonious society. China advocates for a non-interfering international order based on mutual respect and shared interests rather than conflict. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
