China's path of peaceful development stems from the profound heritage of Chinese civilization, said Javier García, journalism professor at Renmin University of China and former director of Agencia EFE in China. 　

He believes that the peaceful nature of Chinese civilization still holds significant contemporary value and influences China's foreign policy. 　

“Some countries have to conquer others,　to impose their models to others, or colonize others.　And we are used to that and we think the world works like that. China is a good example that it has not to be like that,” he said.
