Chinese traditional culture serves as the ideological source of China's traditional strategic culture, encompassing security concepts and strategic considerations, and reflecting the nation's strategic pursuits and methods. The historical cycles of order and chaos enriched China's traditional strategic thought, such as the "Great Unity" concept during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and the strategic practices of Guan Zhong. Rulers in the later and final stages of feudal dynasties, including Emperor Xiaozong of Song, Emperor Chengzu of Ming, and Emperor Shizong of Qing, emphasized the role of culture. Their governance philosophies can be summarized as "using Buddhism to govern the mind, Taoism to govern the body, and Confucianism to govern society," embodying Chinese wisdom at the strategic level.

Deng Xiaoping inherited and developed China's outstanding traditional culture and traditional strategic thinking, with his diplomatic thought forming an important part of Deng Xiaoping Theory. Based on an accurate assessment of international and domestic situations, Deng significantly adjusted China's diplomatic principles and direction, taking a series of effective strategic actions that created a favorable environment for reform and opening-up. With a long-term perspective, he concluded that a world war was unlikely for a considerable period, allowing China to focus on modernization and comprehensively plan its reform and opening-up. Deng dialectically unified pragmatic diplomacy that "follows the trend" with "seeking advantage in the situation" for China's own path, abandoning the "one-line" strategy and achieving a major adjustment in foreign strategy for the new era.

Deng Xiaoping's diplomatic actions particularly embodied the traditional concept of "hiding one's capabilities and biding one's time," achieving a unity of knowledge and practice between the traditional values of harmony, win-win cooperation, and an independent foreign policy of peace. His diplomatic thought reflects the wisdom of the Yi Jing (Book of Changes) and offers profound insights into applying the "Two Integrations" to major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

1. Strategic Assessment: Peace and development remain the themes of our era.

Deng Xiaoping accurately assessed the international environment and the primary domestic tasks under new historical conditions, proposing a diplomatic approach of "planning before acting" and "securing victory before engaging," thereby creating a favorable external environment for socialist modernization. After years of observation and objective evaluation of the global balance of power, he made the accurate judgment that "peace and development are the themes of the times," providing a scientific and logical premise for China to shift its grand national strategy toward economic development. Deng Xiaoping emphasized that modernization was China's core issue and overarching task, and all work must align with and serve this overarching objective. He creatively proposed the concept of "one country, two systems," charting a new path for the peaceful reunification of the motherland. Guided by the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, Deng Xiaoping's diplomatic thinking applied international relations to inter-party relations, fostering ties with communist parties and other workers' parties worldwide.

Amidst unprecedented changes unseen in a century, the fundamental assessment of the international strategic landscape remains crucial to the destiny of the nation and is a prerequisite for the Party and the state in formulating grand strategies. Deng Xiaoping's prudence and objectivity in reshaping the basic assessment of the strategic situation, his wisdom and foresight in launching the grand vision of reform and opening up based on scientific strategic judgments, and his self-reliant consciousness in proposing "Chinese-style modernization" all reflect the fine traditions of China's strategic culture. These principles represent a vivid application of the Marxist worldview and methodology, remaining worthy of reflection and study to this day.

2. Strategic Adjustment: Independent and Peaceful Foreign Policy

Deng Xiaoping, based on an accurate assessment of the domestic and international environment, made a strategic adjustment to China's foreign policy and approach, placing national interests at the center and no longer drawing lines based on ideology. He emphasized an independent foreign policy, opposed alignment with blocs, and advocated determining positions and policies independently based on the merits of each issue. Deng Xiaoping's diplomatic thinking reflects the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, emphasizing not yielding to pressure from any major power, not aligning with any major power or bloc, not playing the "card" of other countries, nor allowing others to play the "China card." Centered on national interests, he pursued pragmatism, stressing that seeking truth from facts is a necessary guarantee for strategic rationality.

Deng Xiaoping shifted away from the "ideology-centered" approach of the 1960s and 1970s, openly addressing national interests in formulating foreign policy and conducting international engagements. He emphasized that relations between nations should primarily be considered from the perspective of their own strategic interests, focusing on long-term strategic objectives while respecting the interests of others. Deng Xiaoping's reorientation of diplomatic thinking toward national interests was a vivid application of the Party's principle of seeking truth from facts in the realm of strategy and diplomacy, as well as a critical development of China's traditional strategic culture regarding righteousness and benefit based on Marxist principles.

He abandoned the "one-line, one-area" diplomatic strategy, granting China greater initiative and flexibility in foreign affairs, thereby elevating its international standing and voice on global issues. The adjusted diplomatic strategy retained sufficient flexibility for China's development and diplomatic efforts, fostering a favorable environment. Guided by the overarching strategic principle of "seeking truth from facts," the revised diplomatic strategy and practice, rooted in national interests, were flexible yet principled, valuing righteousness while emphasizing mutual benefit, opening new prospects for China's foreign relations.

III. Strategic Actions: Biding Time and Making a Difference

It delves into the Chinese wisdom within Deng Xiaoping's diplomatic strategic thinking, particularly the dialectical thinking and principled nature of his strategic actions. Deng Xiaoping demonstrated a high degree of flexibility and principle in foreign policy, embodying strategic prudence and resolve through the "Twenty-Eight Character Guideline," such as "keeping a low profile and biding one's time while getting something accomplished." He emphasized maintaining peace and opposing war, handling international relations based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, and promoting the establishment of a fair and reasonable new international political and economic order. Deng Xiaoping firmly opposed hegemonism and power politics, warning that China should not engage in hegemonism and stressing that China would always belong to the Third World, sharing a common destiny with developing countries. On issues of national sovereignty, Deng Xiaoping adhered to his stance while seeking innovative solutions to disputes and regional cooperation. His diplomatic thinking incorporated traditional Chinese philosophy, such as the strategic thought of Laozi and Sun Tzu, as well as the anti-hegemonist ideas of Mohism and Confucianism. Deng Xiaoping's foreign policy not only opposed external hegemony but also cautioned against China itself seeking hegemony, reflecting the traditional wisdom of "no one claiming leadership among dragons." In the new era, Xi Jinping's diplomatic thought has evolved into the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, continuing to emphasize solidarity and cooperation with developing countries. Deng Xiaoping's guiding principle for strategic action, "keeping a low profile and biding one's time while getting something accomplished," epitomizes the strategic resolve in his diplomatic thinking, aiming to buy time for China's development and actively lead international cooperation when the time is right.

IV. Summary

Xi Jinping emphasized that Deng Xiaoping's diplomatic thought represents a new leap forward in the Sinicization of Marxism, embodying the liberation of the mind and seeking truth from facts, the integration of patriotism and internationalism, the combination of firm principles and flexible strategies, the courage to struggle and to win, as well as profound foresight and decisive action. Deng Xiaoping's diplomatic thought inherits and carries forward China's traditional strategic thinking, achieving the integration of the fundamental principles of Marxism with China's fine traditional culture. It serves the overall domestic reform and opening-up, adjusts the diplomatic line in a timely manner, and handles foreign relations and historical issues with decisiveness and flexibility, creating a favorable international environment for national development. Deng Xiaoping's strategic diplomatic thought has been carried forward in the new era of socialist construction, and Xi Jinping's diplomatic thought has further promoted it, showcasing the essence of Chinese culture and the spirit of the times. The major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics in the new era emphasizes both security and development, responsibility and interests, and a dual-circulation approach to diplomacy, aiming to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese modernization, build a community with a shared future for mankind, and create a new form of human civilization.
