Posters | China's White Paper Responds to the Call of the Times and Proposes a Blueprint for a Global Community of Shared Future

China's State Council Information Office on Tuesday released a white paper titled "A Global Community of Shared Future: China's Proposals and Actions." The document, particularly its chapter entitled "An Answer to the Call of the Times and a Blueprint for the Future," brings attention to the crucial choices confronting humanity.

Within this white paper, two contrasting options stand out at a critical crossroads. The first option leads humanity towards a reverting Cold War mindset, exacerbating divisions, fostering antagonism, and intensifying confrontations between blocs. In stark contrast, the second option prioritizes the collective well-being of humanity through the promotion of solidarity, cooperation, openness, win-win outcomes, equality, and respect. Emphasizing the significance of this deliberation, the paper underscores that the future both for humanity and the planet hinges on the tug of war between these two choices.

Here are some highlights:

To build a global community of shared future is to pursue openness, inclusiveness, mutual benefit, equity and justice.

The goal is not to replace one system or civilization with another. Instead, it is about countries with different social systems, ideologies, histories, cultures and levels of development coming together to promote shared interests, shared rights, and shared responsibilities in global affairs.

Building a global community of shared future is China’s proposed strategy for reforming and improving the international governance system. It means promoting greater democracy in international relations and making global governance more just and equitable.

This important vision reflects the broadest common aspiration of the peoples of all countries in pursuit of peace, development, and stability, and the broadest consensus among countries with different cultural backgrounds and at different stages of development.
