| Résumé: | The present text corresponds to Li Shenzhi's speech delivered on December 20, 1992 at the international symposium Economy and Cultural Interactivity in East Asia, specifically the version reprinted and published in Dongfang, no. 3, 1994. In this speech, Li Shenzhi explores the Chinese culture’s current and prospects, in a context where there was speculation about a predominant position for the East in the 21st century. Throughout his speech, Li Shenzhi focuses on defining and distinguishing Eastern and Western cultures, assessing how Chinese culture can achieve a true renaissance and contribute to a universal culture in the age of globalization, as well as proposing a strategy relative to “appropriationism” and “transcendence of oppositionalism” towards the West.
