China and America relations no doubt will be the most important world partnership in the21
st
Century. How the two work together will determine the future for our children andmany generations to come. It is essential that both sides reach a harmony consensus for world harmony. America is currently leading in both hard power and soft power.America, the most endowed major nation in land and resources, still has a lot of advantages over China. America is the land of opportunity in the 20
th
century, and her established competitive industries and well endowed universities have attracted manyimmigrant talents. But, some of these advantages may be reversing because the bigChina market is now rising as another land of opportunities for scientific and artistictalents.China will surpass America as the global economic power, but it is almost impossible for her to surpass America in per capital GDP as well as military hard power – unless sometechnology breakthrough, such as renewable energy, makes the world a more level playing field. Until such time, China will have to work hard to play catch up. However,Chinese leaders know her advantages and disadvantages well enough not to confrontAmerica. Her advantages are her attractive ancient culture, her emphasis of the conceptof scientific development, Confucian emphasis on education and work ethics, and therediscovery of universal harmony values, which the world has neglected. China cannotclaim the exclusivity of these advantages in these days of internet communication, just asAmerica cannot claim exclusivity to technology advantages. In today’s competitiveworld, any new breakthrough in essential technology will be learned by all within sixmonths. It takes some time for America to change direction and to learn harmony values.But America, the young dynamic country, had learned European Democracy and scienceand become the 20
th
century world power by her natural endowment of resources and alarge market. She can again advocate harmony renaissance and retain her influence tokeep her leadership. This is what is most recommendable to America. The key lies inAmerica’s willingness to be open to Eastern culture.From the Daoist philosophy perspective, America is more a Yang than Yin power. Byvirtue of her European cultural heritage and her hard power advantage, she is moreinclined to use hard power and confrontational diplomacy. However, the multilateralworld inevitably will be more receptive to Harmony Diplomacy. As discussed in my
previous articles, in Yang there is always Yin and
vice versa
. Hard confrontational power unchecked can wear itself out sooner than soft power. America needs to cultivatemore soft power so as to be in a more dynamic balance with China. That is the reasonAmerica must reach Harmony Consensus with China for World Harmony.China today is more willing to learn from the West than is the West from her. Chinesegovernment and citizens know more about the West than
vice versa
. The Chinese mediamay be state owned, but are driven by the need to learn from the outside, because of her government’s policy of reform and opening up. Ultimately, technology advance andcultural influence is what sustains a nation’s development and progress as long as thenation is eager to learn. Politics is more transient, and governments can always evolvetowards more harmony with their citizens. A government that is in harmony with her citizens during her developmental stage will be most stable, regardless of what type of political system. Harmony is a dynamic balance of all social factors in a nation andassures unity in diversity that will guarantee stable and sustainable development.At the moment, America is not as willing to learn from China. American citizens are notwell served by her media with its self-censorship and commercially vested interest for survival. Asking Americans on the street to name 20 Chinese notables will likely net lessintelligent information than asking that question about important Americans to theChinese. The 2009 World Media Summit Beijing declaration for more fair, accurate anddiverse world reporting is a step in the right direction.Jim, as National Correspondent for
Atlantic Monthly
and your on-the-scene reportingfrom China, you have won the respect from the media that America will listen to. I havegreat respect for the articles you have written about China and America, especially your prescription for America in “How America Can Rise Again?” Like you, I remain hopefulfor America; however, you and I need to write more to bridge East and West differencesfor World Harmony. I am coming from the unique position for having written profuselyabout Harmony Virtues, Harmony Renaissance, Harmony Consensus, Harmony Faith andHarmony Diplomacy. Under President Obama, there is a good opportunity for Americato advocate Harmony Renaissance and World Harmony because of his multi-ethnic background. Harmony belongs to the world. It is the fundamental law of the universe. No country can claim it exclusively. Harmony for unity in diversity is all-inclusive of world cultures and religions. America successfully advocated Freedom and Democracyin the 20
th
century. We can do it again as the leading Harmony country in the 21
st
century. Harmony Renaissance is the next wave of creative energy that mankind iswaiting for to lead us to the next level of accomplishment beyond European Renaissance.We can pool our resources and influence to be more effective in working for WorldHarmony. Harmony Renaissance is the inevitable tide in the coming multilateral win-win brave New World.In Service of Harmony Renaissance.Francis C W Fung, Ph.D.
Director GeneralWorld Harmony OrganizationSan Francisco, CAfrancis@worldharmonyorg.net Jim, I am glad you are in support of World Harmony Community. As a matter of fact this is agreat opportunity for China and America to have a dialogue on Harmony Consensus.Any consensus these two great nations can come up with will enhance the images of bothnations tremendously. If your time is constrained, we do not need to coauthor. I havemomentum and a lot of harmony inspiration going. Terms such as Harmony Virtues,Harmony Diplomacy, Harmony Consensus, Harmony Faith, and Harmony Renaissanceare being accepted as working nomenclature for harmony values in practice. Based onthe fast spreading trend these terms will become everyday language soon. We can talk later on in the day. That is better for me also. You can call me after your meetings at 415.585.2474. I have suggestions for you and me to explore. Or, let meknow what will be good time for me to call. I am free after 2:00 PM my time. As Americans, we have a responsibility to advocate Harmony Renaissance as a young,dynamic and destined nation. World Harmony Organization is a non-profit, public benefit California Corporation. We enjoy great following and we propagate by resonancethrough many U.S. blogsites and Internet Media. We can discuss this and your invaluable opinion when we continue our dialogue.We can work the synergistic and play very important coordinated cross reference rolesfor world harmony, which is the inevitable tide. As it is now, you and I will beremembered by America and China. You have done great work for U.S. – Chinaunderstanding and harmony, which is absolutely essential for world peace and harmony.Without harmony, peace cannot last. Harmony is dynamic balance and eternal. Peace isstatic and end state. Best Francis
