国以义为利
国家把道义视作根本利益。“义利之辨”在中国思想史中是个老话题，先哲们确立的一条基本准则便是“以义为利”。无论是一己之身还是整个国家，都离不开利益。不过古人看重利与义的统一，认为利益的本质应当是与义相契合的，追求的是两者的和谐共存，绝不能为了私利而损害大义，进而妨害大局。基于这一理念，国家对民众，不应与民争利；国家之间，也不应片面谋求自身利益，而是要努力达成兼顾、兼得、平衡以及共赢的局面。
A State Should Regard Righteousness as a Benefit
A state should regard righteousness as a fundamental benefit. The debate over righteousness and benefits has been a constant theme of discussion in the Chinese history of philosophy, because benefits were often seen as personal profits that might be wrongfully gained. Taking righteousness as the most important kind of benefit was a basic concept upheld by ancient philosophers. Neither a person nor a state can survive without benefits. However, ancients emphasized the integration of righteousness and benefits. They believed that benefits could be materialized only when combined with righteousness, and the two should stay in harmony. One must not seek personal gain at the expense of righteousness. According to this concept, a government must not vie with commoners for benefits, nor should a state vie with another state for benefits for itself only. One must always strive for mutual assistance, shared interests, balance, and win-win outcomes.
