Peaceful development in the world today is facing many difficulties and challenges. It is particularly important to grasp the generating logic of China’s path of peaceful development and to sum up experience and draw wisdom from the practice of China’s peaceful development. The formation of the China’s peaceful development path cannot be achieved without the scientific guidance of Marxist historical materialism and world peace concept, as well as the rich nourishment of traditional Chinese peace culture. The historical process of revolution, construction, and reform that the Communist Party of China has led the people through is the process of liberation and development of productive forces. Its core value orientation is to achieve people’s happiness, national rejuvenation, and the world commonwealth through peaceful development. The main thread that runs through the specific practice of China’s peaceful development is to reduce or even eliminate various forms of violence in the four dimensions of individual, society, country, and natural ecology, creatively and non-violently promote conflict transformation, and then promote people’s free and all-round development through comprehensive economic and social progress. The practice of China’s peaceful development has opened up a path for Chinese-style modernization, formed an ideological system of peaceful development with Chinese characteristics, achieved great social system reforms, enriched the meaning of the culture of peace. It is conducive to promoting the process of world peace and development and realizing sustainable peace and development.
