Promoting the Development of a Community with a Shared Future for Humanity through the "Three Major Initiatives" | World | Community
In March 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the Global Civilization Initiative for the first time at Communist Party of China's dialogue with high-level political parties around the world. this is another important public product provided by China to support and lead the building of a community with a shared future for mankind after the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative.
The Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, the "three major initiatives", are based on the reality of a century of changes, conform to the trend of the evolution of the times, plan the way out for world development, and look forward to the future of human progress. It fully reflects the Chinese Communists' profound historical vision, broad mind of the world, keen sense of problems and strong responsibility represented by Comrade Xi Jinping. It enriches and expands the ideological connotation, practice path and value implication of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and contains the political wisdom and practical programs that the rising oriental powers have actively contributed to the world.
The "Three Major Initiatives" have clarified major issues affecting global survival
The Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative, these three major initiatives, are proposed based on the practical problems that constrain and hinder common development, universal security, and cultural progress in the process of globalization, clarifying the major issues that will affect global survival for a long time to come.
In today's world, unprecedented changes are accelerating. On the one hand, the world historical development trend of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win is unstoppable. A new round of technological revolution and industrial revolution is deepening, and international forces are undergoing profound changes. The international pattern of "rising in the east and falling in the west" is gradually evolving. On the other hand, various global threats and challenges continue to emerge, with peace deficits, development deficits, security deficits, and governance deficits intensifying. The global economic growth is slowing down, geopolitical conflicts are significantly intensifying, Western hegemony is rampant, and world development is full of various uncertainties and instability factors. This urgently requires us to answer the "world's question" and "era's question" of "what is wrong with the world" and "what should we do?".
The Global Development Initiative actively responds to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of anti globalization, and the reality of wealth inequality. It aims to stimulate and gather a strong synergy of global multilateral and bilateral systems, with complementary advantages. It is a "golden prescription" that leads global development thinking, narrows the global development gap, solves global development problems, and unleashes global development momentum. The Global Security Initiative faces the turbulent haze of local conflicts and regional disputes, as well as the complex situation of intertwined non-traditional security and traditional security. It focuses on urgent issues such as military security, information security, and food security, and adheres to a new security concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable development. It is a stabilizer for achieving peace, tranquility, inclusiveness, diversity, and prosperity. The Global Civilization Initiative rationally refutes Western centric ideological arguments such as "clash of civilizations" and "superiority of civilizations" with ulterior motives, focusing on promoting openness, integration, exchange and mutual learning among different civilizations, and thus jointly building a colorful garden of human civilization. It is a "forge ahead" that breaks down ideological barriers, consolidates value consensus, and jointly builds a better future. Faced with the urgent need to solve practical problems at different levels and dimensions under the century long changing situation, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, in a coordinated and complementary manner, integrate and promote the vivid practice of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
The "Three Major Initiatives" demonstrate China's wisdom in leading world history
The Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative are shining examples of combining the basic principles of Marxism with excellent traditional Chinese culture. They are deeply rooted in the theoretical fertile ground of Marxism's sinicization, draw rich nutrients from excellent traditional Chinese culture, and demonstrate the Chinese wisdom that leads world history. Marxist science predicts the objective trend of the transition from national history to world history, as well as the bright prospect of a "true community" in which humanity tends towards a higher degree of freedom and comprehensive development; The long-standing concept of harmony and symbiosis contained in the excellent traditional Chinese culture is highly consistent with Marxism's idea of human society moving towards a "true community". Marxism believes that the expansion of capitalist production relations will promote the formation of the world market, and the increasingly close communication between different countries and ethnic groups has promoted the formation of a world system with class oppression, forcing uncivilized and semi civilized countries to submit to civilized countries, and forcing the East to submit to the West. The old globalization of capitalism in today's world has led to the prevalence of inhumane, unequal, and anti public survival logic, which deviates from the ideal of a better life that all humanity is striving for. Under the domination of capital logic, the global community is merely a "false community" based on private ownership, a "non community" characterized by universal objectification and human alienation.
It is difficult for those who act alone to rise, but it is easy for many to follow. The worldview of harmony between heaven and humanity, the worldview of harmony among nations, the social view of harmony but diversity, and the moral view of human kindness contained in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, together with the value pursuit of Marxism in building a more just and reasonable international political and economic order to achieve the freedom and liberation of all mankind, have become a solid theoretical foundation for the "Three Major Initiatives" to reconstruct the concept of human progress, transform the global governance paradigm, and lead the process of world history. The Chinese excellent traditional cultural genes, such as the idea of "the path of the great road is for the public under heaven" in the Book of Rites, the peaceful pursuit of "universal love" and "non aggression" in Mozi, the innovative spirit of "striving for daily renewal, daily renewal, and daily renewal" in the Great Learning, and the harmonious concept of "heaven and earth coexisting with me" in Zhuangzi, are important ideological resources for promoting global development, maintaining global security, and achieving global civilization. The spiritual pursuit of Marxist freedom and liberation, combined with the survival wisdom of Chinese civilization and coexistence, is cleverly and perfectly integrated into global development initiatives, global security initiatives, and global civilization initiatives, transforming into a powerful force leading the world's historical process.
The "Three Major Initiatives" have contributed to promoting harmonious coexistence in China's solutions
To simplify the road, practical work is essential. It is the common expectation of people all over the world and the consistent insistence of the CPC for more than a hundred years to let the flame of peace pass from generation to generation, to let the power of development continue, and to let the light of civilization shine.China's development is an opportunity for the world. A strong China has not built a high wall, but has insisted on building its own talents and benefiting the world. While developing itself, it has continuously benefited the world, dispelling doubts such as the "China threat theory" and the "strong country must dominate" theory.
In recent years, China has continuously provided more and better public goods to the international community to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. The ideological connotation of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind has been enriched and expanded, and the connotation system has been increasingly improved. Practical plans have been continuously implemented and implemented. We have established two funding platforms, the Global Development and South South Cooperation Fund and the China Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Third South Cooperation Trust Fund, around global development initiatives. We have also established a Global Development Promotion Center and actively promoted the construction of cooperation mechanisms in various fields; We have released the Global Security Initiative Concept Paper, actively promoting international security dialogue and exchange, successfully mediating reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and committed to conducting non-traditional security cooperation with countries around the world in areas such as epidemic prevention, counter-terrorism, biology, the internet, food, and climate change; Actively building a global civilization dialogue and cooperation network around the global civilization initiative, promoting mutual understanding and affinity among people of all countries, and helping to form a prosperous world civilization garden. Taking advantage of the historical trend, we will steadily move forward and pursue the right path in the world. Firmly standing on the correct side of history, promoting global harmony and coexistence, allowing global development initiatives, global security initiatives, and global civilization initiatives to take root and bear fruit, and committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind, is a solemn commitment and significant contribution made by China to the people of the world in the new era.
The "Three Major Initiatives" demonstrate the human vision of achieving a better life
Living on the earth and gazing at the stars, every country and nation has their own dreams. In the context of global integration, turning the aspirations of people from all over the world for a better life into reality is to gather value consensus on the largest global scale, actively build a community with a shared future for mankind that is peaceful and secure, developed and prosperous, open and integrated.
The Global Development Initiative advocates prioritizing development, strengthening policy coordination among major economies, and building a more equal and balanced global development partnership, fully meeting the common expectations of people around the world for resource sharing and mutual exchange; The Global Security Initiative adheres to a common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept to resolve differences and disputes, which is in line with the common demand of countries around the world to strengthen global security cooperation; The Global Civilization Initiative advocates respecting the diversity of world civilizations, adhering to equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness among civilizations, and responding to the sincere desire of the international community to achieve the beauty and harmony of civilization. Based on the Global Development Initiative, supported by the Global Security Initiative, and with the Global Civilization Initiative as the horn, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind reveals a new form of human society that is truly, goodness, and beauty, bringing infinite vitality and beautiful prospects to the process of globalization and the evolution of world history. We cannot give up our dreams due to the complexity of reality, nor can we give up our pursuit due to distant ideals. As long as the warm sunshine of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind shines on the world, actively practicing and implementing global development initiatives, global security initiatives, and global civilization initiatives, we will definitely work together to build a better world and achieve the pursuit of a better life for all mankind.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, a defender of international order and a provider of public goods, and will continue to provide new opportunities for the world with China's new development." In the new historical journey towards the second centenary goal, we should comply with the historical trend of peace and development, take the road of the world, and deeply understand the inherent gist of the global development initiative, the global security initiative and the global civilization initiative. we should fully carry forward the spirit of historical initiative, extensively gather consensus on the values of all mankind, and actively promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. We will continue to create a new situation in the cause of human progress in the course of common development, shared peace and common civilization, and continue to produce more outstanding and world-renowned Chinese answers in order to solve the problem of global survival of mankind in the 21st century.
