自改革开放以来,中国的发展速度一度让世界瞩目。经过几十年的奋斗和累积,目前的中国虽依然在改革中艰难探索,依然在为成为一个负责的现代化强国而努力。综合国力和国际地位的提升已是不争的事实,中国也在参与全球竞争合作中为继续证明自己的大国身份而努力。但是近年来,中国却逐渐陷入自身正当性的言说困境。这种困境在“国家软实力”概念提出后突出表现在对自身传统文化的急切寻根以及在本国内主导地位的迫切重建上。无法言说正当性对外容易招致西方国家的质疑与非难,对内则容易导致认同危机,难以形成有效的凝聚力,因此跳出正当性言说困境,实现对内对外有效的正当性叙事,对当下进入改革深水区的中国来说无异于是一把解开国内外错综复杂矛盾的钥匙。 Since the reform and opening up, China’s development speed has once caught the world’s attention. After decades of struggle and accumulation, the current China, though still struggling to explore through reforms, is still trying to become a responsible modern power. It is an indisputable fact that the overall national strength and international status are enhanced. China is also participating in the global competition and cooperation to continue to prove its identity as a great power.

Unable to justify the external easily lead to Western countries questioned and blameless, the internal is likely to lead to identity crisis, it is difficult to form an effective cohesion, so jump out of the legitimacy of the dilemma, to achieve effective internal and external legitimacy narrative, the current access to the reform of deep water China in the region is tantamount to a key to solving the intricacies of contradictions at home and abroad.
