ABSTRACT
Since the advent of world history, the world order has manifested itself as the tension between international rights and the struggle for power. This is exemplified in the Westphalian system, where conflict and war are in fact inevitable and even celebrated by Hegel in an ethico-philosophical way. However, the “Chinese solution,” including a new type of great-power relations, a community of common destiny for humankind, etc., is premised on moving beyond the Westphalian system and aims at a new type of civilisation of global governance. The objective basis for this new type of civilisation is China's socialist orientation and the resurrection of China's pacifist tradition.
