Features: Directly targeting the international performance of Chinese people, rational anger, wise global perspectives, and a profound Chinese sentiment! Discussing the gains and losses of international competition, the author believes that more attention should be paid to the role and impact of culture and mindset. One of the defining characteristics of culture is that it is filled with various points and lines, and any attempt to systematically dissect a culture is often futile or forced. The author's approach is to avoid academic frameworks and instead focus on practical key points, as well as the deeper motivations and meanings behind them, which can then be used to understand the broader picture.
21st-century China is the international China. The grand stage for China and the Chinese to excel and win is the entire world, not the traditional short-sightedness of drawing lines and limiting oneself. The world goals of China and the Chinese are their own final goals. Achieving this goal requires a broader vision, more proactive thinking, stronger impact, higher-quality output, and smarter exploration.
