In today’s world, zero-sum and “Hehe”(和合), which literally means peace and cooperation, seem to have become two typical ways of thinking and perspectives for dealing with international affairs. How do these two types differ dialectically? What is the root cause of zero-sum thinking? What does China’s “Hehe Culture” mean to the world?
During her participation in the second Wuyi Forum, Tamara Prosic, a senior researcher in philosophy, history, and international studies at Monash University, gave an exclusive interview to “W.E. Talk” of China News Service (CNS). She believes that the world has to break away from zero-sum thinking and move towards the path of “Hehe” development, as we are in a highly interconnected world.
