“Systematic Rival”From the Perspective of Philosophy of Property System

At present, the world is undergoing accelerating changes unseen in a century. With the United States regarding China as a strategic competitor, China-EU relations have become the core of national and global governance. For this reason, we use the basic theory and tools of Philosophy of Property System to clarify the EU’s characterization of China and accordingly propose the method of judgment and the principle of response. From this, we can get three basic cognitions of “systematic rivalry”, namely mutual exclusion of common cognition (Model A), mutual exclusion and cooperation of personality cognition (Model B), and cooperation of historical cognition (Model C). In order to steadily grasp the nature of “systematic rival” and make it operable, three basic cognitive models (AB, AC, BC, ABC, etc.) are combined, and a comprehensive judgment (ABC+model) is made to adapt to the supranational sovereignty characteristics of the EU. It is believed that the nature of “systematic rivalry” in the “trinity” refers to the main aspects of competition between China and Europe. Therefore, there are three principles for the Philosophy of Property System of “systematic rival”: first, maintain the situation of competition and cooperation; second, there is no fixed mode of competition and cooperation; and third, temporary confrontation and complementarity will lead to new competition and cooperation.
