China’s Contributions to the Building of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind

Abstract

The vision of mankind as a community with a shared future is the most important initiative Beijing has put forward in the past decade, a blueprint through which China intends to work with the rest of the international community to address the most pressing global challenges and advance the long-term interests of mankind. In launching this initiative Beijing also hopes to burnish its international image as a responsible great power contributing its wisdom and strength. This article lays out four major areas where Beijing has made consistent efforts in building such a community: peace and security, prosperity and growth, culture and civilization, and green development and environmental protection.
