"Diversity in the world is a basic characteristic of human society, and also the key condition for a lively and dynamic world as we see today"
About this Quote
The second clause shifts from description to justification. “Lively and dynamic” is an appeal to motion, creativity, exchange - the kind of language that flatters globalization, urban cosmopolitanism, and innovation culture. It’s also a subtle rebuttal to the fear-based rhetoric that casts difference as disorder. Hu’s world is dynamic because of diversity, not in spite of it. That’s a quiet but pointed inversion.
The subtext is political even if the author’s background is unclear. This sounds like the vocabulary of international institutions, education campaigns, or corporate DEI: broad, consensus-seeking, hard to disagree with. That’s both the strength and the limitation. The quote avoids the messier questions - power, inequality, which kinds of diversity get celebrated and which get policed - in favor of a smooth causal story: diversity -> vitality.
It works because it offers a pragmatic reason to value pluralism. Not “be good,” but “stay alive.”
