[Abstract] Variety of civilization is the product of geography. The discrepancy of cultural notions can be traced to deep-rooted geographical factors. For fifty centuries, Chinese civilization exists as a unitary force. The value of culture is of strategic importance in China』s historical development. As repeatedly happening in its millennium-long history, China has digested successfully the shock of the West civilization in the past two centuries. With the decline of the United States, the door is being opened for China on the sea front; at the same time, the conventional land strategy is also coming alive. China should continue to pursue the policy of strategic self-restriction, to come to terms with the United States and shift its strategic attention to the Eurasia. The strategic corridor opened on West China will create a new Eurasia Century.
