The rationality of keeping a low profile: In today's world, China is in an environment where empires are eyeing it, and China's own strength is still far behind that of Western developed countries; in addition China has had constant disputes with imperialism in modern times, and was once reduced to a colony of imperialist countries, causing great damage to its national power. The internal struggles between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party made our country even worse. Due to the needs of national conditions and the victory of the Communist Party, our country's socialist line was determined. However, the lack of capital accumulation in the capitalist period resulted in our country's capital shortage. Therefore, Comrade Deng Xiaoping proposed to take the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, dividing socialism into several stages, while developing socialism, while accumulating capital, cultivating oneself, and accumulating strength. (Similar to the time of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, he practiced the techniques of Huang and Lao and tolerated the Xiongnu. By the time of Emperor Wu, he accumulated a large amount of wealth and vitality, and was able to create an ambitious hegemony.)

The rationality of making a difference: Although our country We have implemented the policy of keeping a low profile and biding our time, but in today's world, where the weak and the strong prey on each other, simply giving in is not an option. Therefore, our country seeks a higher political status in the international community, strives for the right to speak in joint organizations of various countries, promotes peace, and strengthens cooperation with developed countries and third world countries. On the one hand, it is to improve China's status and enable my country to have more The right to participate in international affairs; on the other hand, it is also to create a good surrounding environment for our country and enable our country’s internal affairs to develop better.

Therefore, keeping a low profile and making a difference are complementary to each other.
