Description
Former ambassador of China to the U.S. CUI Tiankai recently stated that China is committed to building “a community with a shared future for mankind” and rejects any “Group of Two” (G2) concept to refer to the U.S.–China relationship. Building such a community is a principle that is central to achieving President XI Jinping’s vision of “socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era”, which has been enshrined in the Chinese Constitution since 2018. China’s Minister of Foreign Affairs WANG Yi has shed light on the interpretation of the principle. The recent release of a joint declaration by China and Laos on building “a community with a shared future” between the two countries illustrates how China applies the principle in practice to grow its own global influence. As much as China aspires to build “a community with a shared future for mankind”, a statement recently made by Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong suggests that China’s push to build this community will face resistance.
中国前驻美大使崔天凯近日表示，中国致力于构建“人类命运共同体”，并拒绝用任何“两国集团”（G2）的概念来描述美中双边关系的做法。构建这样一个共同体，是实现习近平主席“新时代中国特色社会主义”的愿景的一项核心原则。该愿景已于2018年载入中国宪法。中国外交部长王毅对这一原则的内涵作了阐释。中国与老挝近期发表了关于构建两国“命运共同体”的联合声明，这彰显了中国如何将该原则付诸实践，以提升其全球影响力。尽管中国热切期望构建“人类命运共同体”，但新加坡前总理李显龙近期的一番表态显示，中国对构建这一共同体的大力推动将面临阻力。
