the inherent contradictions in the US , and stimulate the hatred of Western people against China , so as to restrain the development of China and consolidate the hegemony of the United States .
Both Mozi and Galtung believed that the root cause of war and conflict was the struggle between people , and it was easy to provoke disputes when people ' s needs could not be met .
