Why China
History为什么是中国
Ren Zhigang
The historical responsibility of Chinese scholars today is to provide guiding ideology and theoretical foundation for the rejuvenation of China. We can see that since the Opium War in 1840, the Chinese people have collectively fallen into a Eurocentric context and cannot extricate themselves. So we must re-examine world history. Capitalism, which has emerged over the past five hundred years, is actually a movement. It's just that this movement, accompanied by the industrial revolution and the specific progress of science, caused financial capital to expand into a force that swept the world, almost colonizing and dominating the world. China has also been seriously hurt. Fortunately, the damage from the outside has generated a huge rebound force within Chinese society. This force has reversed the downward trajectory of Chinese society and put China back on the track of recovery.
