-====== hù bù gānshè nèizhèng: 互不干涉内政 - Non-interference in internal affairs ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +
-  * **Keywords:** hù bù gānshè nèizhèng, 互不干涉内政, non-interference in internal affairs, Chinese foreign policy, sovereignty, five principles of peaceful coexistence, Chinese politics, mutual non-interference, China diplomacy. +
-  * **Summary:** The phrase **互不干涉内政 (hù bù gānshè nèizhèng)** is a cornerstone of Chinese foreign policy, meaning "mutual non-interference in internal affairs." Far more than a simple idiom, it represents a core political principle asserting every nation's absolute sovereignty and right to govern itself without external meddling. For any learner of Chinese, understanding this term is essential to grasping the mindset behind China's official statements and its perspective on international relations. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** hù bù gānshè nèizhèng +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Phrase / Political Principle +
-  * **HSK Level:** N/A +
-  * **Concise Definition:** The principle of mutually not interfering in each other's domestic politics or internal affairs. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** Imagine a rule between neighbors: "You don't tell me how to run my house, and I won't tell you how to run yours." **互不干涉内政 (hù bù gānshè nèizhèng)** applies this logic to countries. It's China's fundamental stance in international relations, stating that issues within a country's borders—its government, laws, and social policies—are its own business. This principle is frequently cited by Chinese diplomats to reject criticism from other nations. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **互 (hù):** Mutual, reciprocal, each other. The character pictorially resembles two interlocking pieces, implying reciprocity. +
-  * **不 (bù):** No, not. A simple but powerful negation character. +
-  * **干涉 (gānshè):** To interfere, to meddle. +
-    * **干 (gān):** Originally meant a shield, but here it's part of a compound meaning "to have concern with" or "to get involved in." +
-    * **涉 (shè):** To wade, to ford, to involve. It shows "steps" (步) next to "water" (水), meaning to get into something. +
-  * **内 (nèi):** Inside, internal, domestic. +
-  * **政 (zhèng):** Politics, government, administration. The character combines "correct" (正 zhèng) with a radical (攵) that implies action or force, suggesting the "correct administration" of a state. +
-When combined, these characters literally translate to: **"Mutually (互) not (不) interfere with (干涉) internal (内) politics (政)."** +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-The principle of **互不干涉内政** is not just political jargon; it's deeply rooted in modern Chinese history and national identity. Its importance stems directly from the "Century of Humiliation" (百年国耻, bǎinián guóchǐ) from the mid-19th to mid-20th century, when China was forced into unequal treaties, had its territory colonized, and saw its sovereignty repeatedly violated by foreign powers. +
-As a result, post-1949 China has placed an absolute premium on protecting its national sovereignty. **互不干涉内政** became one of the "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence" (和平共处五项原则) championed by Premier Zhou Enlai in the 1950s, which form the bedrock of China's foreign policy to this day. +
-**Comparison to a Western Concept:** While the West also operates on a principle of national sovereignty (often called Westphalian sovereignty), there is a crucial difference in application. Western nations, particularly the United States, have often supported the concept of "humanitarian intervention" or the "Responsibility to Protect," which allows for interference in a country's internal affairs if human rights abuses are occurring. China, through **互不干涉内政**, fundamentally rejects this. It argues that sovereignty is absolute and that using human rights as a pretext for interference is a form of hegemonism (霸权主义, bàquán zhǔyì). For China, economic partnership does not grant another country the right to comment on or try to change its political system. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-This term is used almost exclusively in formal and political contexts. You will not hear it in casual, everyday conversation. +
-  * **Official Government Statements:** This is its most common usage. When a foreign government criticizes China on issues related to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang, or Tibet, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will invariably state that these are China's "internal affairs" and that other countries should adhere to the principle of **互不干涉内政**. +
-  * **State Media:** Newspapers like the *People's Daily* (人民日报) and news agencies like Xinhua (新华社) frequently use this phrase in editorials and reports on foreign relations to reinforce the government's position. +
-  * **Metaphorical Business/Organizational Use:** In a very formal setting, one might use this phrase metaphorically to establish clear boundaries between two companies or departments. For example, a department head might say it to another to mean, "Let's stick to our own responsibilities and not meddle in each other's projects." This is rare but illustrates the term's core meaning of respecting boundaries. +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **Not for Casual Conversation:** The biggest mistake is thinking this is the Chinese equivalent of "mind your own business." You would never say **互不干涉内政** to a friend who is giving you unwanted advice. That would be overly formal and sound strange. For that, you would use a phrase like `别管我的事 (bié guǎn wǒ de shì)`. +
-    * **Incorrect:** 朋友：你应该早点睡觉。 (Péngyǒu: Nǐ yīnggāi zǎodiǎn shuìjiào.) - Friend: You should go to sleep earlier. +
-    * **Incorrect response:** 我们应该互不干涉内政。 (Wǒmen yīnggāi hù bù gānshè nèizhèng.) - We should mutually not interfere in internal affairs. (This is grammatically correct but contextually bizarre and comical). +
-  * **Principle, Not Just Action:** It's not just about the act of "not interfering." It is an established, named **principle** (原则, yuánzé). When a Chinese official says it, they are invoking a foundational pillar of their entire foreign policy framework. +
-  * **"False Friend": Isolationism.** Do not confuse this principle with isolationism. China is one of the most globally-engaged countries in the world through trade, investment (e.g., the Belt and Road Initiative), and diplomacy. **互不干涉内政** is the rule China sets for the *nature* of these interactions: economic and cultural exchange is welcome, but political meddling is not. +
