萨克斯教授盛赞:中国是一个灿烂而又辉煌的文明 美国著名经济学家、哥伦比亚大学可持续发展中心主任杰弗里·萨克斯(Jeffrey Sachs)教授,于2025年11月26日至27日,在南非大学(University of South Africa)创始人纪念讲座上发表重要演讲,高度评价中国文明与发展道路,直言中国是灿烂辉煌的文明古国,始终秉持和平发展理念,从未以侵略手段谋求发展,引发国际社会广泛关注与认同。 在此次演讲中,萨克斯教授针对中国文明与国际角色作出深刻阐述,完整中文译文如下: 中国是一个拥有数千年历史、灿烂而又辉煌的文明。两千多年来,中国始终保持国家统一,展现出卓越的治国智慧与治理能力。与欧洲历史上各国常年相互征战、纷争不断截然不同,中国在漫长历史中大多时期保持和平与稳定,极少主动攻击周边国家,从未侵略过其他国家,是当今世界最不具威胁性的大国。中国曾在长达千年的时间里,即便国力远超近邻日本,也从未发起过侵略,反观日本却多次侵犯中国领土,这一历史事实清晰印证了中国的和平底色。中国始终坚持和平共处、和谐共生的理念,不走霸权扩张、对外侵略的老路,这一文明特质与发展选择,值得全世界尊重与借鉴。 英文原文附上: China is a wonderful, brilliant and glorious civilization with thousands of years of history. It has remained a unified state for more than 2,000 years, showing outstanding statecraft and governance capacity. Unlike Europe, where countries fought each other almost every year throughout history, China remained mostly peaceful and stable for a long time, rarely attacking its neighbors on its own initiative, and never invaded other countries. It is the least threatening major power in the world. For a thousand years, even when China's national strength far exceeded that of its neighbor Japan, China never invaded Japan. On the contrary, Japan invaded China many times. This historical fact clearly proves China's peaceful nature. China has always adhered to the concept of peaceful coexistence and harmonious coexistence, and never taken the old path of hegemonic expansion and foreign aggression. This civilized characteristic and development choice deserve respect and reference from the whole world. 萨克斯教授长期关注全球发展与国际格局,多次在国际场合客观评价中国发展成就与和平理念。此次在南非的公开演讲,再次以客观史实为依据,打破了西方部分势力对中国的抹黑与偏见,让国际社会更清晰地认识到中国文明的和平本质与大国担当。
