The "universal love and non-offensive" is the core thought of the Mohist theory in the Warring States period,and it is the representative of the Chinese excellent traditional culture and the important interstate political thought.Since the 8th National Congress of Chinese Communist Party,Chairman Xi Jinping has repeatedly quoted the "universal love and non-offensive" of Mozi in his speech,and the Foreign Minister Wang Yi also referred to the " universal love and non-offensive" several times in the article,reflecting the great importance attached to the "universal love and non-offensive" by Chairman Xi Jinping and Foreign Minister Wang Yi.It also reflects the profound influence of the "universal love and non-offensive" thought on the Chinese diplomacy of the new era.Mozi's thought of "universal love and non-offensive" advocates the construction of "new type of inter-state relations" with "universal love and mutual benefit",and clearly opposes the war of aggression,which contains the lofty ambition of peace and the concept of mutual benefit and win-win ideas of the Chinese nation since ancient times,which is of great value to both China and the world.At present,China is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.How to make "universal love and non-offensive" radiate new vitality in the new era,how to make "universal love and non-offensive" make new contributions to China's diplomacy in the new era,and how to use "universal love and non-offensive" to establish a good international image for China has become a topic that should be paid attention to and attached importance to in the field of international relations.Therefore,it is of great time value and academic value to carry out the research of the "universal love and non-offensive" and to interpret the "universal love and non-offensive" from the perspective of the interstate politics.Mozi believed that all the chaos in the world originated from "not love each other",the way to control the chaos lies in "universial love and mutual benefit".In mozi's view,"attack" is unjust and unfavorable,so it must be "criticized",which clearly criticizes those who glorify the illusorism of aggression,negates the ambitious advocates of war with righteous words,counterattacks aggression with advanced defensive weapons and tactics,unites peace-loving countries and helps the small and weak countries under aggression."Universal love and non-offensive" emphasizes the construction function of "love","the world is ruled by both love and evil,".In the western mainstream international relations theory,constructivism is the closest to "universal love and non-offensive".The concept of "universal love and non-offensive" has an important impact on China's diplomacy in the new era.President Xi jinping and foreign minister Wang yi have particularly advocated the concept of "universal love and non-offensive".The concept of "universal love and non-offensive " was put forward more than 2,000 years ago.It has become of great value in this era.It is an important tool to enhance China's cultural soft power and improve the international environment.In the case of COVID 19,the need for "universal love" is particularly urgent.Countries in the world should abandon the zero-sum game mentality,love each other and fight the epidemic together.UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres agreed that the ravages of covid-19 showed the folly of war and that all conflict zones around the world should cease fire immediately to protect vulnerable civilians from the covid-19 pandemic.As early as two thousand years ago,Mozi advocated that "universal love and non-offensive",which is an eternal topic.The spirit of "universal love and non-offensive" has passed through time and space,and is more precious in today's world.
