March 3, 2025 (EIRNS)\u2014A center devoted to \u201cChina\u2019s Diplomacy in the New Era\u201d released on Mar. 3\u00a0an interview with Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche<\/a>, conducted during her November 2024 trip to China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zepp-LaRouche founded the Schiller Institute in 1984 at a time of intense geopolitical tension, particularly in Europe during the medium-range missile crisis. In her discussion with Diplomacy Talk<\/em>, Zepp-LaRouche shared her inspiration for creating the institute, emphasizing the need for a new approach to foreign policy based on justice and a new economic order. \u201cIf every nation and every civilization goes back to their own best tradition, and has a classical renaissance, then you have a dialogue among these best traditions, and communication and friendship is very easy,\u201d she explained. Her vision was not only to establish a just economic order but also to counter what she viewed as the excessive Americanization or homogenization of global culture by fostering deeper cultural exchanges, in a dialogue among the most profound cultural movements in the countries of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on her multiple visits to China, Zepp-LaRouche described the nation\u2019s transformation as astonishing. Recalling her first trip in 1971, she noted how China had been largely agrarian and impoverished at the time. However, in the decades that followed, she witnessed rapid modernization. \u201cEvery time you come, you find new buildings, new technologies, new science,\u201d she remarked. She particularly praised China\u2019s advancements in infrastructure and space exploration, saying, \u201cI keep telling people in Germany that if you go into a fast train, and you put a glass of water on the table, not one drop will ever jump out.\u201d She believes that China serves as an inspiring model for other nations and urged the country to be more assertive in sharing its developmental strategies with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zepp-LaRouche strongly criticized the Western portrayal of China as a \u201cthreat,\u201d arguing that such narratives stem from outdated geopolitical thinking. The would-be Euro-Atlantic hegemons \u201cproject what they are doing onto China,\u201d she asserted, adding that the real issue is the unwillingness of some to accept the end of a unipolar world. \u201cTo be slandered like that is just an injustice. It reveals more about the mindset of those people who say China is a threat than about China,\u201d she stated. She said that China has not engaged in war and has instead contributed significantly to global development, particularly in Africa. In her view, the Belt and Road Initiative exemplifies China\u2019s commitment to global cooperation, improving the potential for long-overdue infrastructure development in regions that had long suffered from neocolonial economic policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the question of civilization and global governance, Zepp-LaRouche dismissed Samuel Huntington\u2019s \u201cclash of civilizations\u201d theory as mere propaganda, contrasting it with President Xi Jinping\u2019s Global Civilization Initiative. She sees Xi\u2019s approach as a necessary step toward resolving global tensions and fostering genuine cultural dialogue. \u201cThe idea that you have a group of nations who have the right to impose their will on another group of nations \u2026 this geopolitical outlook has caused two world wars,\u201d she warned. Instead, she called for a new paradigm rooted in mutual respect and cooperation, arguing that embracing diverse cultural traditions can lead to a more harmonious global order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most important task \u2026 is that we have to convince the countries of the West that it is in their interest and the interest of the whole world to cooperate with China,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
