Community with a Shared Future

Building a community with a shared future is one of the key ideas proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping. By the end of May 2015, he had spoken about this topic on more than 60 occasions. In an address at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations in March 2013, he brought up this idea for the first time. He said, "It is a world where countries are linked with and dependent on one another at a level never seen before. Mankind, by living in the same global village in the same era and on the same earth where history and reality meet, has increasingly emerged as a community with a shared future in which everyone has in himself a little bit of others."

In his keynote speech at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference in March 2015, President Xi set forth the principles for building a community with a shared future, namely the need for all countries to respect one another and treat each other as equals, cooperate in search of win-win solutions and common development, achieve common, comprehensive, collaborative, and sustainable security, and maintain mutually enriching and beneficial interactions among civilizations in a spirit of inclusiveness. Earlier in March 2013 during his visit to Tanzania, he said that history shows that China and Africa have always found themselves facing similar odds. Similar historical experience, common development tasks and shared strategic interests have bound us together.

命運共同體

命運共同體是中國國家主席習近平提出的重要理念之一。截止到2015年5月，他已經60多次公開談到這一理念。2013年3月，他在莫斯科國際關系學院演講時，第一次明確提出這一理念。他說：“這個世界，各國相互聯系、相互依存的程度空前加深，人類生活在同一個地球村里，生活在歷史和現實交匯的同一個時空里，越來越成為你中有我、我中有你的命運共同體。

”2015年3月，他在博鰲的演講中，提出了邁向命運共同體的“四個堅持”：堅持各國相互尊重、平等相待，堅持合作共贏、共同發展，堅持實現共同、綜合、合作、可持續的安全，堅持不同文明兼容并蓄、交流互鑒。早在2013年3月，他在訪問坦桑尼亞時談到：“這段歷史告訴我們，中非從來都是命運共同體，共同的歷史遭遇，共同的發展任務，共同的戰略利益把我們緊緊聯系在一起。”
