The Concern and the Approach:Reflections on the Theoretical Construction of the Chinese Nation Community
The Chinese nation theory of"Diversity in Unity"fits in with the actual national conditions of the past hundred years and has been accepted by the mainstream political agenda.However,"Diversity"and"Unity"are often unconsciously regarded as binary structures,which has affected people's understanding of the dialectical relationship between"Diversity"and"Unity"to a certain extent.Compared with the"Chinese Nation"which values"Diverse in Unity",the"Chinese Nation Community"put more emphasis on"Community"in pursuit of greater inclusiveness and stronger cohesion."Cohesion"is the function of the community,reflecting the dynamic development of"Unity";"Inclusion"embodies the organic nature of the structure."Cohesion and Inclusion"has diluted the possible tension in the static structure of"Diverse in Unity"by summarizing the process and relationship,thus it could better meet the expression of the national construction theory in the new era.The"Chinese Nation Community"theory mainly concerns responsibility,response and value.Responsibility Concern emphasizes the responsibilities and obligations of the members of the community for modern China and the Chinese nation,and guides the common identification with shared responsibility.Response Concern underlines the community's response to the recognition of the status and contribution of all community members.Value Concern emphasizes transcending identity differentiation with a shared vision of value and shaping a new identity that matches modern China.
