The role of cultural security in China's national security concept from the perspective of interpreting the "cumulative strength" of Marxist theory

The article examines one of the problems of China's cultural security theory in the research of Chinese authors, who see in the Marxist doctrine of "cumulative force" one of the options for substantiating the interdependence of cultural and national security, on the one hand, and elements (levels, directions, etc.) of cultural security, on the other. Modern Chinese philosophy of culture, analyzing the ideas and thoughts of political leader Xi Jinping on the role of culture in security issues, cultural security in national security concepts, defining new methodological approaches to research, turns to the philosophy of Marxism, which is interpreted in China as a theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The purpose of this study is to substantiate that Chinese philosophers, referring to the Marxist doctrine of "cumulative force", interpret cultural security as the cumulative effect of the interaction of many internal and external cultural factors that ensure the protection and preservation of the cultural identity of the Chinese nation. The novelty of this study lies in the interpretation of China's cultural security as a systemically organized dynamic process aimed at protecting and preserving national heritage. The results of the study confirm that the appeal to the doctrine of the "cumulative force" of F. Engels reveals new possibilities for Chinese philosophers to substantiate their understanding of the possibilities of cultural security.
