On the Global Consciousness in Mao Ze-dong's Leadership in Constructing a Modern China
Mao Ze-dong's leadership in constructing a modern China embodied a profound global consciousness,which is mainly reflected in the idea that solving China's problems is regarded as the focus of solving the problems of the world.Nationalism was introduced to China in opposition to intemationalism,but Mao Ze-dong believed that the opposition between nationalism and intemationalism was merely formal and external to the practice of the Chinese revolution.In this regard,Mao Ze-dong has always understood and solved China's problems in the context of the development of world history and the international communist movement,believing that the Chinese revolution would promote the development of the intemational communist cause;Chairman Mao explored the resources of traditional national culture,created a new Chinese culture in line with the trend of historical development,and advocated absorbing the"essence"in traditional national culture and eliminating its"dross";he emphasized the national character such as"backbone"and"self-reliance"in order to cope with the new challenges of socialist construction in the changing world pattem.Through applying basic Marxist positions,viewpoints,and methods,Mao Ze-dong strove to sublimate the Chinese people's unique feelings of humiliation and their desire for national rejuvenation,to promote the establishment of a modern state and a modern sense of nationhood,and to solve the problems of the world.
