Contributing Chinese wisdom

"The community of shared future" is rooted in the inheritance of thousands of years of Chinese culture.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointed out that the concept is rooted in the long history of Chinese civilization and China's magnificent diplomatic practice, in line with various countries' sincere desire and lofty pursuit of peace, development and cooperation.

The Chinese people have said, "The world is a commonwealth." The community of shared future is not only the resonance of the Chinese philosophy of life, diplomatic traditions and the contemporary era, but also the pursuit of better life of peoples of various countries.

In the China Hall of the United Nations Headquarters hang two Chinese paintings – the Interactive World and the Home of Us All. According to former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the two paintings reflect the important role of China in the peaceful development of the world. China is not only the advocator of community of shared future, but also the responsible practitioner.

On September 28, 2015, in the UN headquarters, President Xi stated that "we are going to inherit and carry forward the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, build a new type of international relations centered on win-win cooperation, and build a community of shared future for mankind." This was the first time that Xi Jinping had elaborated the concept at the United Nations.

On January 18, 2017, President Xi delivered an important speech entitled "Jointly Build a Community of Shared Future for Mankind" in the United Nations Office at Geneva, and clearly put forward China's approach of "building a community of shared future to achieve win-win results." In February, the concept was first written into the United Nations resolution. One month later, at the 34th meeting of United Nations Human Rights Council, China, on behalf of 140 countries, issued a joint statement entitled "Work Together to Promote and Protect Human Rights and Build a Community of Shared Future for Humankind."

China has not only provided a unique vision to promote the progress of world civilization, but also put forward the "China approach" to this idea.

Proposed more than three years ago, the Belt and Road Initiative has entered the new stage of action and implementation. The circle of friends along the Belt and Road is expanding. Since establishment, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has gained plentiful and substantial achievements. As a growing number of Chinese initiatives have become international consensus, a series of constructive public goods have benefited the world.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highly appreciates the idea put forward by President Xi. "China has become an important pillar of multilateralism, and the purpose of multilateralism is to establish a community of shared future for all humankind ," he said.
