On March 8, 2026, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi elaborated the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity.

Wang Yi pointed out, humanity finds itself in an era fraught with challenges. Throughout history, even in the darkest times, there have always been those who never stopped chasing ideals and light. President Xi Jinping is such a pioneer. With the foresight and compassion of a leader at the helm of a major country, President Xi answered the big question of where humanity is headed by proposing to build a community with a shared future for humanity. His message is clear: Our enemies are not each other—they are war, poverty, hunger, and injustice. We cannot defeat them by fighting alone or looking after only ourselves. Instead, we must rally the world and build a common future. Alone, one is helpless; united, we can have great strength. The truth and value of this vision are sinking in with people around the world. It’s like a beacon lighting the way forward for humanity.

Wang Yi said, this vision encapsulates how China sees its role in the world and in history as a major country. The Chinese have always had a noble tradition of acting for the common good and pursuing harmony for all. Our great rejuvenation as a nation and our rise as a country of 1.4 billion people will not follow the beaten track where big powers vied for supremacy and territory. On the contrary, we will take a path of peaceful development, and we encourage other countries to take the same path. Together, we can build an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security and shared prosperity.

Wang Yi said, We are encouraged by the growing support for this vision. More than 100 countries and international organizations have embraced it, and nearly 80 percent of people around the world are in favor. Over 40 countries and regional organizations have joined us in realizing this vision. This attests to the saying that “right makes might.” A righteous cause is sure to garner mighty support of the world’s countries, and pool the strength of the people.

Wang Yi stressed that the future of humanity is bright, but it will not dawn on its own. Building a community with a shared future for humanity is both a beautiful vision and a historic process. It requires the united efforts of many generations. China will press ahead with conviction and concrete steps, and work with any and all to make it a reality.
