中国取得了很多成就,也面临着种种问题,最大的一个问题是软实力与硬实力的不对称。中国人喜欢把美国当目标,但美国被世人最乐道的恰恰是软实力。但要提高软实力,不能接受开历史倒车的新儒家。当代中国重要的软实力是民族主义:中国是中国人惟一的家园,我们应该对自己的国家和民族充满信心。民族主义不是简单要求个人服从民族国家,而是承认只有组成国家和民族才能更好地维护个人利益,国家利益只是手段,个人利益才是目的。
China has made many achievements and faced various problems. The biggest one is the asymmetry between soft power and hard power. The Chinese like to target the United States, but it is precisely the soft power that the United States is most entertained by the world. However, to improve the soft power, we can not accept the neo-Confucianism that turned history backwards. The important soft power in contemporary China is nationalism: China is the only homeland for Chinese people and we should have full confidence in our own country and nation. Nationalism, instead of simply requiring individuals to obey the nation-state, admits that only by forming a nation and a nation can individual interests be better preserved. National interests are only means and personal interests are the ends.
