On China mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

In this sweeping and insightful history, Henry Kissinger turns for the first time at book-length to a country he has known intimately for decades, and whose modern relati*** with the West he helped shape. Drawing on historical records as well as his conversati*** with Chinese leaders over the past forty years, Kissinger examines how China has approached diplomacy, strategy, and negotiation throughout its history, and reflects on the c***equences for the global balance of power in the 21st century.

Since no other country can claim a more powerful link to its ancient past and classical principles, any attempt to understand China's future world role must begin with an appreciation of its long history. For centuries, China rarely encountered other societies of comparable size and sophistication; it was the "Middle Kingdom," treating the peoples on its periphery as vassal states. At the same time, Chinese statesmen-facing threats of invasion from without, and the contests of competing facti*** within-developed a canon of strategic thought that prized the virtues of subtlety, patience, and indirection over feats of martial prowess.

In On China, Kissinger examines key episodes in Chinese foreign policy from the classical era to the present day, with a particular emphasis on the decades since the rise of Mao Zedong. He illuminates the inne***orkings of Chinese diplomacy during such pivotal events as the initial encounters between China and modern European powers, the formation and breakdown of the Sino-Soviet alliance, the Korean War, Richard Nixon's historic trip to Beijing, and three crises in the Taiwan Straits. Drawing on his extensive personal experience with four generation of Chinese leaders, he brings to life towering figures such as Mao, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping, revealing how their different visi*** have shaped China's modern destiny.

With his singular vantage on U.S.-China relati***, Kissinger traces the evolution of this fraught but crucial relati***hip over the past 60 years, following its dramatic course from estrangement to strategic partnership to economic interdependence, and toward an uncertain future. With a final chapter on the emerging superpower's 21st-century world role, On China provides an intimate historical perspective on Chinese foreign affairs from one of the premier statesmen of the 20th century.

美国的例外主义是传经布道式的，认为美国有义务向世界的每个角落传播其价值观。中国的例外主义是文化性的，中国不试图改变他国的信仰，不对海外推行本国的现行体制。但它是中央帝国的传承者，根据其他国家与中国文化和政治形态的亲疏程度将它们正式划分为不同层次的“进贡国”。换言之，这是一种文化上的普世观。

中华文明的一个特点是，它似乎没有起点。根据有关黄帝的古代传说，他重建了而不是创建了一个帝国。早在黄帝之前，就已经有了中国。在历史意识中，中国是一个只需要复原，而无须创建的既有国家。

同时，中国历史上战乱频繁，中央政府几度荡然无存，天下大乱。但然而仿佛受一条亘古不变的自然法则的左右，中央政权每次垮台，都会被重建。每个历史阶段，都有一个志在统一的人物站出来，基本上沿袭黄帝的做法，征服敌手，再次一统中国。中国的每一次***都被视为不正常的暂时现象。每次改朝换代后，新朝均沿袭前朝的治国手法，再次恢复连续性。中华文明的精髓历经战祸考验，终得以延续。

中国的强盛时期

中华文明延续数千年，中国却从未主动与其他幅员一样辽阔、历史同样悠久的国家或文明打过交道。中国与他国之间时有商队往来，但作为一个社会，中国似乎不需要与同样幅员辽阔、文化发达的社会接触。

中国的光荣孤立在人类历史上独一无二，酝酿了一种独特的中国自我意识。。1850年，一位英国翻译家写道：

“对外国的排斥加上本国的封闭导致中国人根本没有比较的机会，这可悲地禁锢了他们的思想，使中国人完全无力挣脱自己的生存环境，评判任何事情皆套用中国的传统观念。”

儒家学说

中国得以延续至今，主要靠的是中国平民百姓和士大夫信奉的一整套价值观，而不是靠历代皇帝的***。

中国社会占统治地位的价值观源自一位古代哲学家的教诲，后人称其为“孔夫子”。

在一个儒家学说主导的社会里，好学是一个人贤达的关键。

孔子倡导一个等级制社会，认为一个人的首要义务是“恪守本分”。儒家秩序激励人们走治国平天下的道路。孔子思想着眼于现世，肯定的是一种社会守则，而不是来世的救赎。

皇帝位于中国等级秩序之巅。中国的礼仪减持以叩首的方式承认皇帝的主宰地位，即行三跪九叩大礼。皇帝扮演的第二个抽象角色是他作为“天子”的地位。这一角色暗示，他本人负有道德上的义务。皇帝施仁政，主仪典，严刑律，系天下万物“和谐”于一身。一旦荒淫无道，天朝即陷入混乱。当政的朝廷会为此丧失赖以治天下的“天命”，叛乱蜂起，直至改朝换代，重新恢复天下大同。

国际关系观念：公正还是平等？

中国眼中的世界秩序与西方生根的制度大相径庭。近代西方的国际关系观念产生于16-17世纪。当时欧洲的中世纪制度解体，产生了一批实力不相上下的国家。罗马天主教也***成为形形色色的教派。均势外交不是一种选择，而是必然结果。没有一国足够强大，从而可以把自己的意愿强加给他国，也没有哪一种宗教具有足够的权威，从而能畅行天下。各国主权平等和法律平等的概念成为国际法和外交的基础。

中国与西方形成鲜明对比，它从未长期地与另一国在平等的基础上交往过。原因很简单，中国从未遇过与中国文化类似或大如中国的社会。

中国挟其独特的传统和千年养成的优越感步入近代。这个独特的帝国声称它的文化和体制适用于四海，却不屑于去改变异族的宗教信仰；它是世界上最富饶的国家，却对与外国通商和技术革新漠不关心；它文化发达，却受制于一个对西方探险时代的来临一无所知的政治统治集团；它在辽阔的疆土上建立了一套政治体系，却对其即将威胁其生存的技术文化大潮茫然无知。
