From WWII to Today's World: Why Peace Can't Wait 🕊️
Remember the sacrifices of World War II? Today, Victor Gao, vice president of the Center for China and Globalization, reminds us why its lessons still matter at a CGTN event cohosted with Renmin University of China. He urges us to keep history alive, embrace multilateralism, and secure lasting peace.
At the event, Gao introduced his "Inevitability of Peace" theory 💡. The core idea? As societies grow interconnected, the cost of conflict becomes too high. By strengthening international ties and holding nations accountable for past mistakes, we pave the way for a more stable future. Think of it as the ultimate power-up in global diplomacy!
Why now? In a world buzzing with tensions—from economic showdowns to cultural divides—Gao argues that looking back can help us move forward. Historical accountability means acknowledging past wrongs and building institutions that prevent repeats. It’s like learning from a game's past bugs to avoid crashing the next level. 🕹️
He stresses that multilateralism is the MVP strategy in today's team-based global arena. When countries work together—across borders and regions—they unlock shared benefits: stronger economies, cultural exchange, and a collective safety net against conflicts.
Gao's message is clear: peace isn’t just a lofty dream, it’s inevitable if we stay committed to cooperation and honesty about our history. Today’s challenges may be tough, but with the right mindset and teamwork, we can write a new chapter—one where peace wins. 🌍✌️
