In 2018, it coincided with the 15th anniversary of establishing a comprehensive strategic partnership with China and the European Union.He also came to the China Europe and Shanghai campus to share his understanding of leadership. He also made a deep analysis and comparison of leadership philosophy of China, France, and the United States from the perspective of politicians.
From 2002 to 2005, Rafavan served as Prime Minister in Hillary Cabinet and was a senior politician in France.But unlike the traditional French politics elite, Lafayan is not the cradle of French politicians Andmdash; Andmdash; Paris Political College, but a Paris Higher Business School graduated from entrepreneurs and businessmen.Latherland all the way to business, and later entered politics. It was an Andrdquo; in addition, Latherland was one of the largest French political leaders in China.Andrdquo; During the period, the only international politicians to visit China according to the plan.
FT conducted an exclusive interview with Lafayland in Shanghai to explore his understanding and insight in the world situation today, and analyzed the profound reasons behind China, the United States, and Europe.In Latayland's view, the world is in a competition for leadership. Important economies hope that they can become the leader and leader of the future world economy.Differential and competition.Today's world order can no longer meet the new international situation. All countries should establish a new international cooperation and dialogue on the basis of fully respecting different cultures and concepts, rather than constantly conflict and friction, exacerbate differencesAnd monoclonalization, sliding towards the trade war, or even the real war.
FT: Global politics is currently in a very turbulent stage. How do you look at global politics and Sino -US trade frictions?
Rafavan: I think President Trump is responsible for launching this trade war.He used Andrdquo; this word, because he tried to fight a war that could not see smoke. For many people who experienced cruel wars, Andrdquo;memory.
And President Trump unilaterally set off this war, which is actually not good for anyone.It will increase tariffs in various countries, increase prices, and decline in investment. The lives of the US economy and the lives of the American people will be affected, and they will not get any benefits from them.
I know that President Trump considers the domestic support and the upcoming midterm elections in November this year, and he needs to take such measures.But in any case, his behavior has an inestimable impact on the world economy.
Andnbsp;
FT: Trump is a maverick leader. How can we negotiate with him in the face of such opponents who do not play cards?What suggestions do you have?
Rafalan: In fact, I don't think Trump is very special.In the United States, leadership is the logic of innovation, changes, and winners.American leaders are often those who are willing to commit and change, and Trump is also seeking new breakthroughs and changes.
What we need to do is to promote President Trump to change his decision, and the United States or American members need to persuade Trump to change his incorrect decisions, especially about the two major issues of the Iran nuclear agreement and withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.
Also, I think there are many things in the law to cooperate.For example, it can be unified at the G20 summit or at the United Nations Security Council, so that other countries will gradually participate in the forces to suppress American decision -making.
FT: In your speech, you mentioned that Asian leaders and Western leaders represented by Europe and the United States are actually different in the style of leadership. In this case, how can we solve the internal problems and solve the internal problems.To better cope with US policies?
Laphi: Because of the different cultures and history of various countries, all leaders show different leadership methods.The key is to find a better topic of cooperation in in -depth and pragmatic international cooperation.For example, China -French joint investment in the British nuclear power project is actually a very good way to cooperate;The economic development of various countries has created a large number of employment opportunities. Through this kind of cooperation in interests, we will jointly defend our position, concept and enterprise, so that everyone can sit down and avoid the outbreak of war.
In November this year, Shanghai is about to hold the first China International Import Expo, which is also a very good opportunity for cooperation.China should invite companies in their own friendly countries to Shanghai, and actually reduce the pressure of trade war through specific project exchanges.Of course, one thing we must realize that although China and France are a friendly country, they will still compete with each other when doing business, which cannot be avoided.
FT: From the perspective of China, there is a relationship in the history of the United States and Europe, and the relationship between them is closer, and the relationship with China seems farther.In the case of the Sino -US trade war, the location of Europe is actually very delicate. How do you look at this view?
Rafalan: In fact, Europe and the United States have a long historical origin.The United States of America is actually built by the European people, and during the two World War, European and the United States also established a very friendly relationship. Especially in 1944, Normandy landed.EssenceIn recent years, we have discovered that the United States' policies for the European Union have become less and less friendly. Especially during the financial debt crisis, China has given France strongly to support France, while the United States and Wall Street have played the opposite.
In fact, I think President Trump can see the previous and "old allies Andrdquo; at all, from his attitude on many things.It was forced to close the factory in Iran. This incident caused a lot of negative sounds to the United States within France. Similar to this problem is constantly accumulating, and from my personal observation, the North Atlantic Convention Organization has gradually begun to beginDecomposition. So I think we are currently facing a major historical turning period. This is a period of historical turning point that requires a certain time to complete. It turned out that France has always stared at the West, and currently our eyes are gradually paying attention to the East, especially in particular, especiallyPay attention to the Asia -Europe mainland.
FT: Do you think today's international politics is in an and "Leadership Crisis andrdquo; Do you think it can be described as" the word "crisis andrdquo; this word?"
Latharaland: I personally don't think that it is in a crisis of leadership. What is lacking in today's era is the communication and coordination and global governance mechanism of leaders in various countries.I think the Chinese and French views on the world are the same. We all think that this world should not be a peaceful world composed of a single -level but joint negotiation of various countries.I think China and France can do a more meaningful thing: that is, to build a diverse world, respect each other's negotiation system, and build a new world order.
FT: Next, I want to ask some questions about leadership.I am reading the "48 rules of power" you recommend, which reminds me of the "king theory" of Nicole and Makia Villy.Do you think these twoForced to close the factory in Iran, this incident caused a lot of negative sounds to the United States within France.Similar problems are constantly accumulating, and from my personal observation, the North Atlantic Convention Organization has gradually begun to decompose.Therefore, I think we are currently facing a major historical turning point. This is a period of historical turning point that requires a certain time to complete.It turned out that France has always stared at the West, and currently our eyes are gradually paying attention to the East, and we must pay special attention to the Asia and Europe.
FT: Do you think today's international politics is in an and "Leadership Crisis andrdquo; Do you think it can be described as" the word "crisis andrdquo; this word?"
Latharaland: I personally don't think that it is in a crisis of leadership. What is lacking in today's era is the communication and coordination and global governance mechanism of leaders in various countries.I think the Chinese and French views on the world are the same. We all think that this world should not be a peaceful world composed of a single -level but joint negotiation of various countries.I think China and France can do a more meaningful thing: that is, to build a diverse world, respect each other's negotiation system, and build a new world order.
FT: Next, I want to ask some questions about leadership.I am reading the "48 rules of power" you recommend, which reminds me of the "king theory" of Nicole and Makia Villy.What do you think are similar to these two?What kind of nutrients do you get from this book?
Lathan: European literature, especially in Italian literature in the Middle Ages, there are many works about leadership, such as the "king theory" of Machia Weili.As I mentioned earlier, the culture and history of each country are different, and there are various differences in the understanding of leadership.Not only does I read the leadership of Europe and the United States, including some thinkers in China, such as Confucius, Lao Tzu, Han Feizi, etc., I will also study their works.
Through these works, you can be traced back to the core sources of leadership and power of these countries.Makia Vili's "king theory" mainly talks about how to keep his regime; Americans are keen to discuss how to seize power, and the Chinese are thinking about how to use power correctly. This is the difference.Because in these different works, you can read the Chinese wisdom of politics. France emphasizes the leadership of the hero and an epic historical sense, while the United States is full of aggressive taste, a strong willingness to win.
In these works, my favorite is the discussion of General Charlo's leadership.Of course, there is also the book of Han Feizi's "theory of kingship".
FT: You have a deep understanding of Chinese culture. What do you think of Confucius' governance?
Latherland: I personally think that the changes in the administrative policy of governors exercise their power are not as fast as we think. In fact, the principles of Chinese political system or Chinese national governance still follow the Chinese tradition in many ways: can both be able to both be able to both.Showing generations also reflects respect for history.I think Confucius proposed an ideal leadership theory, especially when he was in the era of Andmdash; Andmdash; in the Warring States Period of the fighting and chaos, Confucius proposed and the concept of "unified andrdquo; unified andrdquo;Ideas played a very important role in the concept of unity in China in the future.
FT: You mentioned in your speech that General Da Goghler's leadership actually shows many similar places as the leadership of East China, such as mysteriousism, such as low -key and pragmatic.Can you compare it again, the similarities and differences between French leadership and Chinese leadership?
Rafalan: General De Gaulle believes that leaders must have prestige, because prestige can bring a kind of power; he also hopes that leaders must be trusted by the people.Therefore, the leadership advocated by General Da Goghle includes cautious, not speaking, and maintaining a certain sense of mystery. In addition, he also emphasizes personal morality, which actually coincides with Confucius's theory.
FT: The training of future leaders is also very important. How do you think of the cultivation of leadership in elite education such as the China -Europe International Institute of Technology and the promotion of world politics or economy?
Laphi: The author of the "Little Prince", the French writer Andbull; the German andBull; the San-Eknspery said: Love is not to look at each other all day, but to look forward to the distance and move forward.
I think that international business schools such as China Europe International Business School are very suitable for cultivating future leaders.Students from all over the world, such as Asian students, European students, etc., they learn from each other to fully respect their respective culture and live in harmony with each other to find the road of world development.I think that the China -Europe International School of Industry and Commerce is not only one of the best business schools in the world, but you will see that the president or chairman of a large country will come out of this day.
