A leading journal of the Communist Party in China has cautioned against the dangers of drastically rewriting both world and Chinese history without sufficient evidence. The warning comes amidst a growing movement within China to present a less Eurocentric perspective on historical narratives. Beijing has actively emphasized the lengthy and unbroken history of Chinese civilisation, aiming to bolster national pride. However, the journal expresses concern over a "pseudo-historical school" challenging established understandings of Western origins. The article suggests such revisionism could harm China’s international reputation and undermine its own sense of national identity. Maintaining historical integrity is thus presented as crucial for both China's global standing and internal cohesion. The journal implies a delicate balance must be struck between promoting a unique Chinese historical perspective and preserving factual accuracy.
