Hi, need to submit a 2750 words essay on the topic Asian study.

Related to such concept is its long history of violence, seen with the violent overthrows of various regimes and dynasties. In recent years however, China has eased up on its reclusive closed-door policies and has now become more open to trade agreements with other countries. Its history of violence has also been reduced and ‘harmonious’ principles have now been seeking implementation in its governance and policies. Its concept of a harmonious world has been evaluated by various scholars and analysts, and these concepts have often been deemed either similar or dissimilar to international principles as set forth by the United Nations. A more thorough assessment of this subject matter shall now be considered in this paper. This paper shall consider whether or not the Chinese concept of a ‘harmonious world’ can be reconciled with the normative principles informing the Charter of the United Nations. It shall establish whether or not we are witnessing the re-emergence of the ‘Middle Kingdom’ and if the idea of ‘harmony’ is consistent with international law. This paper is being carried out in order to establish a clear and comprehensive understanding of these queries in line with the current policies being set forth in China, as well as the global standards seen in the international scene. Discussion In a discussion by Zheng and Tok (2007, p. 4), the authors discussed that the policy of a ‘harmonious society’ in China is in line with its policy on a ‘harmonious world’. This policy has largely defined the term of Hu Jintao as Party Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CPP) and the State President of China. Before such policy was set forth, China was deep inside its reclusive policies. However in a more thorough recognition of the need to implement changes in China, changes were soon set forth in its policies. Changes were first seen with Deng in 1978 when he distanced himself from Mao Zedong’s revolutionary plans and slowly redirected the nation towards the reform and open door policy (Zheng and Tok, 2007, p. 4). Deng believed that it was time for China to consider foreign participation in its economy. The policies Deng set forth were very much domestically-based. and in planning the economic progress of China during the 1980s and 1990s, it was with the clear understanding that China was only a minor player in the global community (Zheng and Tok, 2007, p. 4). In 1980, Deng recommended his peace and development theory which basically argued that the issues which China was encountering were actually issues involving its North and South divide, not so much the East and Western disparities. In effect, Deng claimed that China was not in a war with the West, instead, it was endangered by its lack of economic development (Zheng and Tok, 2007, p. 4). The Tiananmen Square massacre and the end of the Cold War brought about a powerful challenge to China’s economic progress in the early 1990s. China was forced to avoid the pitfalls of fighting the post-Cold War politics and instead, keep a low profile and away from international attention (Zheng and Tok, 2007, p. 5). Nevertheless, Deng believed that it was important for China to be involved in foreign interests until such time that its economic development would eventually improve the nation’s wealth. These foreign policies were however changed under Jiang Zemin’s term.
