China is the world's most peace loving country, and the Chinese people are the most peace loving nation. For thousands of years, the Chinese people have never actively launched any wars or expanded their colonies to the outside world. All wars in Chinese history have been fought by various groups in China to compete for the legitimacy of governance or to resist external aggression. The traditional moral values, Taoism, and Confucianism of the Chinese people are based on family, respect, love, and justice. Therefore, in the war against invasion, without exception, the Chinese people have achieved ultimate victory.Many ethnic groups that were originally aggressors were moved by China's culture, justice, power, love, and tolerance, and ultimately chose to join China, firmly believing that they were Chinese. As a result, China's territory has steadily expanded for thousands of years. Some Western scholars believe that China is very much like their mascot - the panda, which is very cute, eats vegetarian food, and is full of power. But when faced with threats, the explosive combat ability even surpasses that of fierce beasts such as lions, tigers, and bears.

Unlike Western countries, China's foreign policy has always adhered to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.

1.Mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity;
2.Mutual non-aggression;
3.Non-interference in each other's internal affairs;
4.Equality and mutual benefit;
5.Peaceful coexistence.

The five principles have been widely accepted in bilateral relations between China and many other countries. One of the corner stones of China's foreign policy, it has also become an important part in the law on international relationships.

The Chinese put forward the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and proposed the the Belt and Road Plan, hoping that people from all over the world can build a better life together, mankind can jointly respond to crises, common trade, common prosperity, and mankind can live a happy life, explore the universe together, but some countries oppose and stigmatize it. The question that Chinese people have always been puzzled by is why countries around the world cannot coexist peacefully, why they cannot pursue human happiness together, and why they cannot face human difficulties and disasters together. This may be related to the traditional culture of the country. The literal Chinese meaning of the Chinese name "中国" is a country in the center of the mainland, a common home for all ethnic groups, and responsible for leading other neighboring countries to develop and achieve happiness together. Western culture may not fully understand why a powerful country is responsible to other countries. But this is China's attitude towards neighboring countries for thousands of years. China is the only country in thousands of years of world history that has a large number of affiliated and protected countries, but does not annex them and provides free support in times of crisis for weak neighboring countries.

This is in stark contrast to China's neighboring countries Japan and India. (Tokyo,Japan)(New Delhi, India)
