In this interview segment, Ragnar Baldursson shares his insights on the Confucian principle "junzi he er bu tong", which translates to "the gentleman aims at harmony, and not at uniformity," and its profound relevance to modern international relations.

Drawing on his experience as a diplomat, Baldursson notes that Chinese diplomacy is deeply rooted in this concept. He observes how, in international negotiations, Chinese representatives often prioritize finding common ground for collaboration while accepting that different parties may have varying interpretations of specific terms or agreements.
