The world itself operations on the basis of principle of balance. The world tries to balance things. Thus, every action here is balanced by reaction. That can also be understood as cause with effect. Rise is balanced by fall. Similarly in this way, west is balanced by east in every aspect.

But coming to modern era, there is conflict between east and west. No doubt west are economically strong and east is rich in culture and has strong bond of social integration. As they are strong in their aspects but we see conflict between east and west is escalating day by day.

Out of many reasons , the reason I find behind the conflict is PEACE itself.

First let's us understand

Eastern world Vs western world.

I have already written at it, what are they and how they differ in my previous post that is

In short when we see eastern world and western world they differ in many aspects but the main root is , west stands on scientific observation, they believe in results where East is rooted to realization. This is why, there is difference in principles positions and also the way of understanding between the west and East.

In the back drop of this difference,in our present day, we can conclude that the conflict rising between China and United States is due to this differing in understanding things.

War is war no doubt, it's war but what about peace? Is peace that west Understands is same as east? Do United State peace is same as that of China ?

If there was similarity in understanding, there would never be no conflict. Today, Let's try to understand the peace in eastern eye and in western eye.

Peace

Western peace

When west talks about peace there we must understand that means the situation where there is no war. This is how United States understands peace. Her peace only emphasis to no war situation. So, she believes that by any means (may be by dominance) if we can create no conflict situation , there will be peace.

This is how peace is understood in west.

World knows that , Israel wants peace. For it , peace means no attack to Israel. No any situation where Israel is made to involved in conflict. To maintain peace what it does is , before arising such situation it tries to handle situation by any means. This is why? For the name of peace Israel wants other neighboring states to be engage in war themselves . By doing this Israel feels that if they are engage I am safe.

Hence when west says peace then it means

• No war

• Absence of tensions.

• Absence of threat

When they feel threat then they feel it's war time. This is why, western understanding towards the word peace is the reason why there are so many conflicts around the globe . Not all, but if seen from another angle then it's due to understanding of peace.

When peace is understood in such a way then there will be feeling of super powers to be a policeman of world which makes her to establish her hegemony which directly creates dominance environment around the globe resulting conflicts.

Eastern peace

The eastern peace is different than west. East believes peace in harmonious relation with others. East world peace is related with equal footing with the norms and values of co-operation, co-ordination, and co-existence. This is why eastern world emphasis on relation with others being balanced.

But lately, as we are driven by Capitalism, if we see every independent entity (nation's) as independent, we would find they act as to balance themselves. But this coordination between with some of nations has created fractions which again is the reason for breach of peace in Asia.

Formation of groups i.e. regional organizations with strong bond of relationship which is understood as peace in east,No doubt within that group they have good relations within them but with out side world No! China wants to have good relation with every countries but it feels constraints force due to these regional organization. There China wants to play above that , which is cause of every conflicts either economic or military in east.

Conflict between India - China boarder disputes as seen in surface it seems that they are indulged due to some physical geography misunderstandings but in reality India wants to stop China to make further influence to others within pheriphery.

Both China and India are focusing in expansion of relation , which in time turned out being counter to one another. China wants to spreads it's hands of co-operation mainly in economy sectors.

Japan the world power in economy feels some threat to it's economy but never have any disputes on it and it gives interest establishing trade with China rather than taking it as foe. . It doesn't want any escalation with China . Sometimes , we have news about disputes on the land.

This is eastern understanding of peace. Due to this, which is why we don't feel Peace environment in east.

East + west

If we take United States representing west then east is represented by east, United State has strong military and economy power where as China stands on second number, in such scenario United States doesn't want to loose it's position thus it tries to oppose the shift in power from west to east. Thus we are facing different types of disputes in international arena. Therefore, At present day, when we see both countries, United States wants to stop China's influence in international arena. Openly, United States makes policies against China but China is busy in expanding it's relation to other continents with win to win situation.

United States feels China as rivary, because it sees threat with the expansion of China economic ties with other countries. And China which feels that harmonious relations with others is way to peace feels opposing force from United States.

Being different in understanding the word peace, one feels other as counter part to .This is why we are feeling tensions between West and east.

Peace is understood differently, but no doubt it's the word peace which seeks some norms and value while in process of establishing it turns to work against it.

The peace that is understood whether by east or west , it created conflicts within the holders of peace i.e tensions in east is due to this understanding of peace while the conflicts in west are due to theirs understandings. With time, after 2000 this eastern world and western world have come face to face where everything started.

No doubt, every state wants peace but same wanting is reason of our present world. Does USA wants war? Does China wants war? No, they want peace. But see, their wants is creating the environment for chaos. We are near to doomsday.

Through this article , I want to spread message that , we have been searching to utopia but we ended in fool's paradise. Since, eastern and western world are consolidating in every aspect, We need new theories that work in such scenario. And can be easily understood by beholders with same i.e one meaning.
