Xi's inclusive thought offers China solution to the world

Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is a combination of Marxism and cosmopolitan ideas for solutions to global problems which President Xi Jinping has articulated after conducting a comprehensive study into China as a leading contributor to and member of the world in the past several decades, particularly since 2013 when he fully took office.

Xi supported an open economy, globalization, free trade, and advocated cultural exchanges to build a community of shared future for humankind in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January 2017. His stance was in sharp contrast to protectionism, nationalism and isolationism gaining support in some parts of the world.

Xi Jinping thought is an expansive ideology characterized by pluralism, inclusiveness, equality, and win-win cooperation, and promotes free trade and globalization. It goes beyond any single existing convention. It is not only innovative but also forward-looking, and has the potential to correct and transform the existing world order. Xi Jinping thought has become the ideological basis for governance, policymaking and policy implementation, as well as a major theoretical framework for neo-globalization practices, as illustrated by the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.
