Abstract: Since the mid-20th century, with the deepening advance of globalization in the worldwide economic, political, and spiritual-cultural spheres, interactions between regions and nation-states have continuously expanded, and the connections among humanity have grown increasingly close, thus there being a “global village” with a shared future, a community of survival, development, and values. This has substantially enhanced humanity’s capacity to work together to solve common challenges of survival and development. Simultaneously, however, the era of globalization is an epoch of intensifying differentiation, diversity, and even heterogeneity, an age full of uncertainties and risks. This new and severe living situation objectively and urgently requires the international community to base itself on the common interests of all humanity and focus on public welfare. It requires abandoning the obstinacy and prejudice of traditional theories of “civilizational antagonism” and “clash of civilizations”. There is a need to explore a path of “harmonious coexistence and mutual flourishing” to extricate from the current predicament. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese government, Chinese society, and Chinese intellectuals have advocated transcending narrow cultural and ideological constraints, and presented a series of new theoretical propositions and practical strategies to the international community, including the “Community with a Shared Future for Mankind”, “Civilizational Exchange and Mutual Learning”, and the “Common Values of Humanity”. With Chinese wisdom and Chinese approaches, the aim is to realize a beautiful new world of order and justice characterized by “appreciating the beauty of all civilizations”.

Key words: community with a shared future for mankind, civilizational exchange and mutual learning, the common values of humanity
