中国与新世界秩序研究 Zhongguo yu xin shi jie zhi xu yan jiu/ Some Thoughts on China and the New World Order - 214 p. : illustrations ; 25 cm

The next logical step in our social evolution from family, to tribe, to city, to nation, is a world commonwealth of nations. Consciously or unconsciously, humanity has been engaged in an endeavour to create this world community. Globalization is a sign that we are entering our long-awaited stage of maturity. We are arriving at what has been variously called the New World Order, the Omega Point, the Global Village, Tian Xia Yi Jia (All Under Heaven One Family), the Grand Synthesis, the Kingdom of God on Earth, and so on; It is no longer just a dream; the survival of the human race, in fact, depends on constructing this New World Order. If China is rich in material, cultural, and spiritual resources and potentialities; then it is important to understand China's maturation process and potential contributions as we face the challenges of the adult stage of our collective life. This book contains my thoughts, and references to those of others, collected so far, exploring this theme. A picture emerges; the more the definition of modernization and prosperity includes spiritual development - as well as material - the more the collective endeavour humanity faces seems feasible, and the more apparent will China's potential contributions be.
