Introduction

Chinese cultural heritage may provide missing messages for global institutions: how to reach long-term sustainability and efficiency, and how to accommodate to Eastern cultures. These are the two basic pillars of global peace, or otherwise of enhancing the normative convergence all around the world. We would not like to suggest that western religious tradition needs the East to solve the problems of the world (as Voltaire suggested), but we state that both sides have to have the ability to understand and cooperate with each other. Basically, this means global harmony of all high cultures in the world, which may be the foundation of global institutions in the current wave of globalisation; as Buzan says:

“Peaceful rise” itself is not a historical fact, it's an idealistic goal that is based on all levels of international cooperation – this is the meaning of the term “two-way process”. Since this goal is impossible to be achieved by China alone, it requires continuous harmony among the actors of the international arena to create the necessary conditions. This proves that the common global interests are the sources of competitiveness.

Confucian and Taoist values, China's history and its solutions for creating a unity within the Great Wall serves as an example for global powers in the 21st century in forming a sustainable method of solving global and regional issues. This is the most important source of China's own developing model that differentiates it from:

Although China is increasingly included in globalization, the concrete process is a matter of how China joins globalization rather than how China modifies the current workflow.
