Throughout the CPC’s first century, its perception of global dynamics and its understanding of China’s own situation and interests have been bound together in fundamental interaction. Confucian dialectics is used to analyze the changing relationship of domestic and international aspects of CPC ideology. There was never a moment when both sides of the dialectic were not present, and never a decision taken that did not affect the balance and transformation of domestic and international factors. The course of the interaction has influenced a uniquely Chinese path of political development. Seven phases of the path are described, as well as the possibility of an eighth phase.
