A shared future for the world benefits all nations

It is a time of profound, unprecedented changes and uncertainties. The probable questions on everybody's mind are: where should we go and what kind of world do we want? China's answer is: we should build a community with a shared future for mankind.

This demonstrates a responsibility for the progress of the entire humanity. A single flower does not make a spring. The success of a few is not prosperity for all. The future of the world should be in the hands of not a few but all the countries, and so should global affairs be governed, because in the time of globalization, all countries of the world are "in the same boat". It is not good enough to only mind one's own business. It is shortsighted, unsustainable and even counterproductive to advocate one's supremacy over others, refuse to share benefits or even "beggar thy neighbor".

Building a community with a shared future for mankind was proposed by President Xi Jinping. It is in keeping with the trend of history and outlines a common future for mankind. It upholds multilateralism and champions fairness and justice in international affairs. This is the right road to prosperity.
