Chinese President Xi Jinping successfully concluded his visit to Russia on the 22nd, which continues to write a new chapter in China's adherence to peaceful development and win-win cooperation in international affairs, and is regarded by the outside world as another major diplomatic practice of China to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Ten years ago, on March 3, it was in Moscow, the capital of Russia, that Xi Jinping first proposed the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. At that time, the world was in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment. How to build the world? It has become the question of the times before all mankind. In the face of the general trend of world development and the future of human civilization, Xi Jinping gave China's answer. This has also become a new perspective for the world to think about the future of mankind.

Since then, the changes in the world have verified the foresight of this concept, and with the acceleration of the world's century-old changes, the necessity and urgency of building a community with a shared future for mankind have become increasingly prominent, especially the global pandemic has instantly changed the "sense of the future" of a community with a shared future for mankind to "present tense". The concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind" is presented at Xi Jinping's visit to the Moscow Institute of International Relations, the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the Palais des Nations in Geneva... In the speeches, more and more international consensus was condensed and written into many documents of the United Nations and other international institutions.

Over the past decade, Xi Jinping has successively put forward the Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, providing China's propositions on the core concerns of the world, further enriching the connotation and practical path of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Nobel laureate economist Michael Spencer pointed out in his evaluation of this concept that the direction of a community with a shared future for mankind is very correct. "The key to moving this process forward is to have concrete action."

In the past ten years, with new perspectives and pragmatic actions, Chinese leaders have promoted this concept from a grand vision and blueprint to an important plan to cope with changes in the world, times and history.

As an important practical platform for building a community with a shared future for mankind, the "Belt and Road" initiative proposed by Xi Jinping has driven nearly trillion US dollars of investment in the past ten years, formed more than 3000,42 cooperation projects, created 4000,3 jobs for countries along the route, and lifted nearly 4 million people out of poverty. So far, it has attracted the participation of more than 32/<> countries and <> international organizations in the world.

Brian Lantz, a researcher at the Schiller Institute, an American think tank, commented that "building a community with a shared future for mankind" is a higher-level concept of cooperation, which overcomes geopolitics and replaces the law of the jungle with a harmonious development system. He believes that in a sense, the Belt and Road Initiative is the economic foundation for building a world peace order in the 21st century and a cornerstone for realizing the "community of the common future of mankind".

Xi Jinping advocated holding the China International Import Expo to make "China's big market a big opportunity for the world"; China took the lead in ratifying the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, implementing a series of high-level opening up measures, and expanding the network of high-standard free trade areas facing the world... China has demonstrated to the world with practical actions that China welcomes all countries to take the "free ride" of development, and explained to the world that consultation, joint construction and sharing are the meaning of a community with a shared future for mankind, and common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness are also a new path that can be well followed.

As a permanent member of the UN Security Council with the largest number of peacekeepers, China has always been committed to world peace and security from building a community with a shared future in cyberspace to a community with a shared future for nuclear security, from building a community of human health to a community of life on earth, from launching the Global Data Security Initiative to "jointly opposing the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons".

China took the lead in joining the Paris Agreement on climate change, and Xi Jinping announced that China will strive to achieve carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060; China presides over the <>th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, promotes important outcomes and joins hands with other countries to build a clean and beautiful world.

As Xi Jinping said in an article published in the Russian media a few days ago, over the past decade, the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom of all mankind have become increasingly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and building a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, cleanliness and beauty has become the common pursuit of more and more countries.

In the past decade, China has verified the positive significance of a community with a shared future for mankind as a world outlook and methodology for the future of mankind with its knowledge and deeds, and found the greatest common divisor to solve the questions of the world, the times and history.

Today, 10 years later, the world is undergoing accelerated evolution, traditional and non-traditional security challenges are intertwined, hegemonic and hegemonic acts are deeply harmful, the world economic recovery is weak, local conflicts and turbulence are frequent, and the vision of lasting world peace is being severely challenged.

China's diplomatic practice of building a community with a shared future for mankind has once again played an important role. Not long ago, Saudi Arabia and Iran held a dialogue in Beijing and announced the resumption of diplomatic relations that had been severed for seven years. International public opinion believes that China has completed the "impossible task" by promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind through diplomatic practice, which is a victory for dialogue and peace.

President Xi Jinping's just-concluded visit to Russia has also been defined as a trip to peace. The Chinese and Russian heads of state signed a joint statement emphasizing the resolution of the Ukrainian crisis through peace talks. The Russian side reaffirmed its commitment to resuming peace talks as soon as possible, and positively appraised the positive significance of China's concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind in strengthening the unity of the international community and working together to address common challenges.

Ten years is only a moment in history, and it has special and important growth significance for the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. It is worth looking forward to how the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, which is constantly enriched and constructed, can exert the cohesive force of common destiny and peaceful cooperation that transcends ideology and the clash of civilizations, effectively govern the real world, and ultimately become the logical starting point and end point of the reconstruction of the global order.

It is certain that after China's unremitting promotion and practice over the past decade, "building a community with a shared future for mankind" has been increasingly recognized and accepted from a distant ideal as a new perspective for mankind to think about the future.
