Provocation Doomed to Fail

Tensions across the Taiwan Straits have recently escalated due to actions on the part of several U.S. politicians as well as some pro-independence parties on the island. On October 26, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed his country's support for Taiwan joining the United Nations, a blunt violation of the one-China principle. At the same time, the Taiwan authority is increasingly, and recklessly so, challenging the bottom line of the Central Government in Beijing. In her CNN interview on October 28, Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen confirmed that U.S. troops are training local military forces on the island, making Tsai the first Taiwanese authority to admit to the presence of U.S. military on the island.

如何看待"回归中国"与儒学复兴

"向西方学习"与"回归中国"并非是不可得而兼之的选择,理智的态度是以我为主,海纳百川.复兴儒学是一件非常不容易的事情,必得对提倡的东西有一种敬畏的精神.要注意抓住儒学的优点,探索如何教会人懂得内在反省与潜心修养,人类的自我完善必须通过内省完成.它是一个细致的文化薰陶与长期积淀的过程.在今日市场经济的环境下,更需要冷静地进行新的探索,不能迷信大轰大哄,它不可能真正奏效.

从《教务杂志》看近代西方传教士对中国穆斯林的传教活动

近代西方传教士来华以后,发现中国存在着一个庞大的、对基督教传播可能构成威胁的穆斯林群体,于是他们开始了针对该群体有计划有组织的传教活动。这种传教活动无疑具有一定的文化侵略意味,从总体上看也是不成功的,但在客观上对两种宗教在文化交流和文明互动方面仍具有一定的积极意义。     

“见危不救”犯罪化的层次分析

社会对见危不救行为是否定的.对其价值判断的这种一致性,使得对其犯罪化不只是可能,而且是必要的.对见危不救行为动用刑罚加以调整,使人们自愿承担救人于危难间的义务,以促进社会的整体利益.我国刑法中应增加"见危不救罪",但要有严格的范围限制.

长处和短处贵在看准

人往往都有长处(优点)和短处(缺点),领导干部也一样,关键是对长处和短处要看准。切切不要凭自己的偏见或臆断,视人和自视时将长处当成短处,将短处当成长处。春秋时代的齐国宰相晏婴,是个很有本领的政治家。他有个下属兼亲信叫高缭,人也不错,办事很小心,人缘也很好。只因为对上司一味盲从,喜欢说“好好好”式的随声附和之言,性格上没有任何棱角,晏婴便把他辞掉了。晏婴的解释(大意)是:“我晏婴本人本来是个平庸、无用的人,像一根七扭八歪且又不方不正的木头。必须有人为这根木头划线,用斧子去削,用刨子去刨,才能制作出一件像样的器具。而高缭…     

从南方长城看长城文化

苗疆边墙不论在修筑的时间、结构和功能上,都与北方明长城没有什么两样,不同的是她经过我国西南湿润的地区,那里民族众多、人口密度较大,从而使长城作为历史上中国特定地区不同民族文化之间的功能界线这一特有的文化背景,在更小的区域内得到清晰的体现,也使长城在民族文化上的一些没有受到人们重视的作用和意义更清晰地展示了出来。

如何考察社会主义从西方到东方的演进

北京大学张光明教授新著《社会主义由西方到东方的演进——从马克思到邓小平的社会主义思想考察》一书,对许多人物的评价,对马克思、列宁等人的社会主义观及其演进过程的认识都有自己新的思考和独特的分析研究方法。作者更是注重密切联系实际来说明问题,而且潜心于独立思考,敢于力排众议,发表自己的新见解。然而,作者的这些新见解也有值得商榷之处。其中,建立一个什么样的党和什么样的党领导的执政体制这一关键问题,需要作进一步的探讨。

Chinese Film As I See It

KOREAN movie buffs associate Chi- nese film of the 1980s with Hong Kong kungfu mov- ies, acted by stars Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee; also the gangster movies by Hong Kong director John Woo, dubbed "Hong Kong noir" by Korean film critics. Korean youth, many of whom were active in stu- dent movements at the time, related strongly to the deep fraternal bond portrayed in these movies. Jackie Chan's films have been a favorite of mine since childhood, from his early kungfu flicks to more recen…
