Since the outbreak of the Sino -US trade dispute, Washington has gradually increased this conflict to the height of civilization and even racial conflicts.Its theoretical foundation comes from the civilized conflict of civilization.Huntington believes that the conflict between different civilizations instead of ideology will erupt after the Cold War, and the root causes come from the true differences in cultural genes.Taking the between China and the United States as an example, the admiration of the Confucianism of the Eastern Confucianism for the country, collective, authoritative, and hierarchical order, and there is a natural gap between individuals, freedom, and democracy with the West.Therefore, Huntington believes that even if there is economic connection between China and the United States, it will eventually part ways due to cultural differences.The decline of Chinese civilization is only a phenomenon of nearly hundreds of years. Therefore, Huntington believes that the historical sedimentation, cultural heritage, and population scale of Chinese civilization are destined to eventually seek to challenge the US hegemonic position.Potential tendency provides a material foundation.
Huntington has always emphasized the division of the world by the type of civilization. However, the reality of Chinese civilization often does not have the clear division of the country as different, so it does not have the national action capacity MDash; MDASH;Action for cross -inter -intermediate force exchange.Taking Islamic civilization as an example, Huntington has always emphasized that it must have conflicts with Western civilization. However, in terms of realistic politics, the Middle East countries such as Saudi Arabia are the long -term firm ally in the United States and rely on US forces to balance Iran, which believes in Islam.
In the same civilization, especially the international and faction conflicts in the world's civilization in the world today, causing heavy casualties to be far more than the degree of conflict between Islamic civilization and western civilization.It will attract people's attention.It can be seen that a specific civilization is largely and often does not have a complete and unified overall coordination force and political continuity.
In addition, the civilization that we are limited to today is also the result of a variety of civilization collisions in history.If the Greek Roman civilization, which is currently traced back to the source of the entire Western civilization, has already proven according to modern archeology, the first region that appears in Europe is Mindini in Crete and the surrounding areas, and its ancestors are mixed with Eurasia University.Prairies, Iran and Caucasian people's blood.
In the subsequent civilization process, the civilized factors of the surrounding civilizations even far from the Indo -secondary continent also infiltrated Greece and Roman civilization.And many of these civilized areas are often briefly classified under the name of Greece and Roman civilization, and ignore the huge impact of multi -source and civilized intersection integration in the process of human history.Therefore, the core of Huntington's theory of civilization conflict is to demonstrate and render the uniqueness and superiority of Western civilization, and ignores the complexity and diversity of civilization.
Huntington's division of world civilization lacks definition of definition and the integrity of the evidence chain. However, he still concludes several shocking conclusions.For example, Islam and the West; civilized confrontation between China and the United States will inevitably.With the large -scale attacks on the United States in the United States, with the large -scale attacks of Islamic terrorists in 19911, it is more like confirming the prophecy of Huntington.However, the generation of this result does not guarantee the overall correctness of its civilized conflict system.
Is the conflict between civilizations as inevitable and normal as Huntington said?The history of turning over will not be found. Even today is widely regarded by many people who are widely regarded as extreme and extraordinarily, and their history has been well known with tolerance, diversity and harmoniously coexistence with many religions.This is the same in the golden period of Islam.In 762 AD, after Baghda Dingdu and established a huge Aza dynasty, this empire became a world -renowned academic, business, education and cultural center.
The works of different languages have been translated into Arabic and saved, providing a guarantee for the European Renaissance Movement in mainland Europe.Different religions and ethnic groups have nothing to do with each other. At this time, Islamic philosophy and thinkers also advocate the pursuit of secular knowledge, rational spirit, and have a broad vision and generous mind.EssenceIt can be seen that closed, extravagant, and extremely non -Islamic labels.
However, since the rise of the European Renaissance movement, traditional religion has faced difficult modern transformation. In this process, it is medically and gradually withdraw from the public domain and transformed into personal beliefs, which has become an important direction for religious reform.At the same time, the concepts of full development of modern democracy, human rights, and men's and women's equality have also been popularized.As a result, contemporary people can, and they do to a large extent recognition of religious diversity and open thinking.
From the experience of the history of modern religious development in Europe, the conflict between civilization and even religion is not the norm, and the collision between different civilizations is not always in the negative forms of war.The modern and contemporary religious disputes are mainly because of several religions. The body has entered the 21st century, but the idea of not being baptized by modern civilization is still in the Middle Ages.
These religions not only refuse to go through the process of secularization from the separation of politics and religion, but also to expand their belief activities through the form of political and religious legislation, religious discrimination, and expanding religion to expand religion foreign violence.Therefore, it will definitely conflict with other factions in other civilizations, religions, countries, and even religion.The root cause of the tragedy is not a conflict between civilization or religion, but a profound contradiction between the real situation of the same religion and the historical relics.
It is precisely because he did not see the inherent attributes of this kind of civilization and religious internal contradictions that Huntington concluded that conflict between civilization and religion must be concluded in his civilized conflict theory.The most terrible thing is that this theoretical hypothesis is being regarded by several politicians as an inevitable, which leads to it that it is really possible to become a reality.
