SINCE its inception, the Chinese Global Community of Shared Future (CGCSF) has been characterized as pro-peace, prosperity, harmony, and stability in the world. It has served as an antidote to confrontation, conflicts, and conspiracies, with a focus on people-centric initiatives. The most recently published white paper by China’s State Council Information Office, titled “A Global Community of Shared Future: China’s Proposals and Actions,” reaffirms its strategic importance in achieving the desired goals of socio-economic development, poverty eradication, job creation, and peaceful conflict resolution in the world. The paper emphasizes human development without any hidden agenda. The CGCSF is timely, holistic, suggestive and futuristic in its approach to promoting cooperation, transparency, openness, modernization and, most importantly, a shared future for the entire world. It advocates for development that rejects all forms of deficits and destruction occurring worldwide.

The policy makers in China demonstrate a humanistic modus operandi by propagating joint efforts, unity, cooperation and the construction of a global community with a shared future. The CGCSF embodies universality, uniformity and dignity which have now become historic and harmonious in their persuasions. It precisely outlines integrated and interactive means to achieve the desired goals of equitable development, poverty eradication, job creation and the rejection of all forms of discrimination. It underscores the strategic importance of global cooperation, security, prosperity and dialogue among different civilizations and faiths which forms the real essence of the CGCSF.

It is hopeful that the CGCSF will further strengthen its holistic model of the global community of shared future, especially in Africa, Latin America, the Eurasian Continent, ASEAN, South Asia, Central Asia, and, last but not the least, the Middle East. These regions will prosper with technological advancement and collective cooperative projects. In this regard, the role of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is paramount in creating bridges of cooperation, coordination and collaboration through sustainable trust and teamwork among all the member countries.

China, as a pioneer of the Global South, rightfully harnesses the collective wisdom of developing countries, realizing their potential with economic and infrastructure development support from institutions such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the New Development Bank. This innovative and integrated model of financial integration refrains from attaching any conditions to participating countries. Moreover, the BRI has successfully created interconnected networks of infrastructure, transportation and trade corridors since 2013. These networks enable developing economies to connect to regional as well as international markets, stimulating socio-economic growth.

Recent incidents like black swan events, grey rhino occurrences and the rise of right-wing politics in the West have exposed flaws in their systems, resulting in widespread discrimination, division, destruction and disapproval within their societies. However, the CGCSF is liberating the Global South from colonialism, neo-colonialism and Cold War modalities, supporting a free world for all. Thus, the role of the CGCSF is permanent. Presently, human society is under the increasing influence of white supremacist ideologies and an obsessive euphoria about DNA composition, leading to a vicious cycle of continuous confrontation and division. Urgent rectification is needed through grand dialogue, diplomacy, cooperation and mutually beneficial propositions, ensuring a promising quality of life for the entire world.

This white paper is inclusive and integrated in nature. It incorporates mechanisms of peaceful conflict resolution, including dialogue, diplomacy, development and determination of the Chinese leadership. It presents facts in a fraternal and friendly manner, halting all fatal trends in the world. It promotes global public goods that China offers to the world.

Despite false, fake and fabricated propaganda from the West that creates doubts about its aims, objectives and mission, the CGCSF has been honoured in the UN General Assembly resolutions for six consecutive years. It has also been recognized in the joint declarations of multilateral mechanisms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS, reaffirming the constructive nature of this noble concept in serving humanity.

In conclusion, since its inception, the CGCSF has gained immense popularity, promoting better understanding and seeking support from international countries and communities, especially developing nations. The CGESF rejects the self-centric notions of the Western intelligentsia, hawkish political cronies and elite class that the CGCSF is intended to challenge or compete with the West. It actively includes the participation and cooperation of developed western countries. The secret of human civilization and modern political systems lies in the integration and an integrated world, where developed societies and developing countries jointly contribute to the common cause of peace and development under the flagship of CGCSF. Furthermore, the economic stability and sustainability of the world also depend on multi-polar and multilateral partnerships, with rising global organizations such as BRICS and the Group of 77 with its 135 coalition partners, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and ASEAN creating new rules of engagement and equitable developments.

Even the Chinese BRI, comprising 153 countries out of 194 and reaching more than 83 percent of the world, is actively creating a new model of holistic development based on the harmony of all nations, campaigning for world peace and building economic foundations for global prosperity. It seems that the power politics of western countries is pushing NATO forces into the Asia-Pacific region, along with their regional allies, mainly Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. Moreover, the US is increasing its military presence in the region. AUKUS has been formed to contain China. The US is creating legal and media-focused crises between China and the Philippines. Now, the US and its regional allies are rigorously working on the Theory of China Economic Collapse through the imposition of unilateral sanctions against China. It is a good omen that despite constant and continued propaganda, China maintains its patience and superior cultivation of peaceful dialogue with other countries for the sake of the greater cause of the community’s shared future.
