The Xi Jinping’s Community with a Shared Future for Mankind: Understanding in China-Africa Cooperation

Abstract

The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is the basic variable of President Xi Jinping's foreign policy construction. It is misunderstood or regarded as wishful thinking but this concept has an ideal view of what the world should be. It embodies quite rational pragmatism in the implementation of our times. This concept is the intersection of Chinese and Western ancient and modern philosophical thoughts. It is deeply rooted in the Sinicized Marxist socialist philosophy. This paper attempts to simplify its understanding and enhance its pragmatism consciousness under the background of China-Africa cooperation.
