Features: The various issues discussed in this book are of great significance to contemporary China in many aspects. China is developing rapidly. Currently, even if China's economy is not the fastest-growing economy, it is among the fastest-growing economies. What kind of world will this bring China into? At least two characteristics of this world need to be considered by Chinese citizens. , as a country that was once relatively strong, China is developing against the backdrop of democratization. The second fact to emphasize is that as the world becomes more integrated and the internal connections among communities are broader and tighter than ever before, most free democratic countries and most non-democratic governments are striving to declare their national stance and protect their national interests. This book aims to demonstrate the contemporary relevance of the democratic heritage and evaluate its strengths and limitations. The book argues that the focus of the democratic heritage lies in the principles of open discussion, open dialogue, and open debate on public affairs.
