Open up a new road for realizing new international cooperation (thoroughly study and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era)

  The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "the Communist Party of China (CPC) is a political party that strives for the happiness of the people of China and also strives for the cause of human progress. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has always made new and greater contributions to mankind as its mission. " He also stressed that adhering to the path of peaceful development and promoting the building of a community of human destiny; Adhere to the concept of global governance; Promote the construction of a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation; Wait a minute. These ideas have been fully reflected in the "Belt and Road" international cooperation, which is a great contribution made by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to the cause of human progress.

  The construction of the Belt and Road has formed a broad consensus in the international community.

  The Belt and Road Initiative was put forward by the Supreme Leader when he visited Kazakhstan in September 2013 and Indonesia in October of the same year. After this initiative was put forward, it has been widely responded and supported by countries and regions in Asia, Africa and Europe along the Belt and Road and other countries and regions in the world, and has now successfully entered the stage of full implementation. A large number of international cooperative construction projects have been launched one after another, the infrastructure connectivity network has taken shape, the industrial cooperation along the line has maintained a good momentum, policy coordination among countries has been continuously strengthened, and international exchanges in various fields have been further promoted.

  Once the "Belt and Road" initiative was put forward, it was appreciated and highly praised by many politicians, scholars and people of insight from all sides in the world. UN Secretary-General Guterres said: The Belt and Road Initiative put forward by China has built an important platform, provided new ideas and played a leading role in promoting international cooperation. The "One Belt, One Road" initiative is far-sighted. It is not only conducive to the realization of connectivity between countries, but also enables people of all countries to connect with each other and form a community of human destiny. Together, they face and strive to solve global challenges and provide the world with a Chinese solution. Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the summit forum on "One Belt, One Road" international cooperation last May that the China initiative was very timely and beneficial. The imbalance of world economic development and the crisis of the old model of economic globalization have had a negative impact on the relations between countries and international security. Generally speaking, the logic of the old model can no longer solve the contemporary problems and needs fresh ideas. The Belt and Road Initiative is a useful exploration of a new model of globalization and international cooperation. Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said: The Belt and Road Initiative is a timely solution to the political, economic and humanitarian crisis facing the world in this century, and its successful implementation will bring tangible benefits to the people of the world.Former French Prime Minister raffarin pointed out: China has set an example for the international community by promoting multilateral cooperation through the Belt and Road Initiative, and China’s long-term goal and grasp of the needs of the times are of great benefit to world development. In a world marked by innovation, I think China has a great trump card, that is, a long and profound Chinese civilization. The Belt and Road Initiative initiated by China is a great plan that needs innovation, construction and sharing. China’s voice in the world is the voice of balance, multilateral cooperation and, naturally, progress.

  Let’s look at the academic world again. Peter Nolan, director of the Development Research Center of Cambridge University in England, believes that China has found its own development path, and at the same time, it is also finding a path for global sustainable development. The Belt and Road Initiative is not a threat to the West, but a real opportunity for cooperation, which is what China called "win-win". Naisbitt, an American futurist, believes that the "Belt and Road Initiative" has become a direction of global development, and its biggest unusual feature is that it benefits all countries and people, not just a small number of people. African countries have benefited from the development of infrastructure with the support of China, which is more effective than copying the western democratic system. South African scholar Kubus Fanstak said: The Belt and Road Initiative is a new expression of economic globalization, and its connotation is far greater than a development initiative. This construction plan will bring much-needed development to eastern Africa and a different future to the whole African continent. Compared with the relationship between Africa and the West, this is at least a different future. Djamil Matar, a UAE scholar, said: The Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China is like a mission from the East, and it is free from colonialism and political interference. This mission from the East is to serve and care for the interests of the overwhelming majority of people in the world. Therefore, in a new era,A completely different cooperation model will be opened.

  These politicians and scholars made a relatively comprehensive evaluation of the basic purpose, development prospects and far-reaching influence of the "Belt and Road" construction. Their exposition fully shows that the "Belt and Road" construction has formed some important consensus in the international community: First, the "Belt and Road" construction did not come into being out of thin air, it inherited the fine tradition of historical exchanges on the Silk Road, adapted to the needs of the development of the current world situation, and creatively opened up a new way forward for realizing new international cooperation on the basis of summing up the historical experience of mutual learning and learning on the Silk Road and the practical experience of international exchanges today. Second, the "Belt and Road" construction not only conforms to the development trend of economic globalization, but also pays attention to overcoming the disadvantages existing in the past economic globalization, providing a new path, model and governance principle for the healthy development of economic globalization. Third, the construction of the "Belt and Road" will benefit not only the initiating countries, but also the countries and regions along the route, but all countries in the world — — Whether it is the East or the West, the South or the North, the developing or the developed countries — — All countries can benefit from it and promote peaceful coexistence, equality, mutual benefit and common development of all countries in the world. Fourth, the development achievements of the "Belt and Road" construction,It will not only be enjoyed by a few people in society, but will strive to benefit the broad masses of people in all countries and regions, which is conducive to gradually narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor among members of society. That is to say, it is necessary to carry out unprecedented exploration and experiment in the world to build a community of human destiny and provide a brand-new scheme. Fifth, the "Belt and Road" construction conforms to the development trend of today’s world and reflects the interests and aspirations of people all over the world, so it has an unlimited bright future. Sixth, the wisdom and value embodied in the "Belt and Road" construction belong not only to China, the East, but also to the West, the whole world and all mankind. Therefore, all parties in the international community should cherish and safeguard it, and should actively participate and provide support as much as they can, and strive to make their own contributions.

  The construction of the Belt and Road reflects the global governance concept of joint construction and sharing.

  One of the core concepts, essential requirements and basic principles running through the "Belt and Road" construction is to discuss, build and share. This clearly answers and solves the important issues of how to build the "Belt and Road" international cooperation, who will build it and for whom, and provides a governance concept that should be followed for global economic governance.

  The so-called consultation means that one party in the cooperative construction is not in charge of the infrastructure and various projects of economic and social development. Instead, it is necessary to fully listen to the opinions of all parties in the cooperative construction, respect the wishes of all parties, and care about the interests of all parties. All parties should discuss more with each other, brainstorm, seek common ground and make a decision after consultation. Moreover, during the negotiation, special attention should be paid to ensuring that all kinds of cooperation projects meet the actual situation and needs of the countries and regions where they are located. Only in this way can the cooperative projects be formulated and implemented safely and reliably, and can they really be conducive to interconnection and mutual benefit.

  The so-called co-construction means that all parties to the cooperative construction should make concerted efforts and help each other in the same boat in the spirit of "having money, making strong contributions", making suggestions and offering skills. Moreover, all parties should make it clear that they should not only share development opportunities, but also jointly meet challenges, overcome difficulties, resolve contradictions and take risks. Only in this way can we build together.

  The so-called sharing means that all the benefits and achievements of cooperative construction projects should be shared by all parties in accordance with the principle of fairness and justice, so that they can be in their proper place and benefit each other. All parties to the cooperation are equal partners, and we must not bully the weak with the strong and the small with the big, resulting in unreasonable and unfair sharing of benefits and achievements. In that case, it will violate the purpose and principle of the "Belt and Road" construction, and its cooperation will not be successful.

  In short, the "Belt and Road" construction is not a "solo" by one country, but a "symphony" in which all countries and parties participate together; It is not a road where the interests of one country are exclusive, but a road where the interests of all countries are shared. In a word, the essence and essence of the "Belt and Road" construction lies in the word "common". Through joint discussion, joint construction and sharing, we will finally achieve the goal of win-win. This is also the biggest difference between the "One Belt, One Road" international cooperation and the unfair and unreasonable cooperation system and mechanism that existed in previous international exchanges.

  It is believed that in the construction of the "Belt and Road", as long as we persist in focusing on the common aspirations and requirements of people of all countries in pursuing peace and development, adhere to the spirit of peaceful cooperation, openness and tolerance, mutual learning and mutual benefit, and adhere to the goal of building a community of human destiny and interests, and follow the principles of equality and mutual benefit for all countries, big or small, strong or weak, and discussing development plans, building development platforms and sharing development achievements. It can be fundamentally distinguished from the jungle law of "the law of the jungle" and the zero-sum game rule of "the winner takes all" that have existed for a long time in the international community, which will certainly be conducive to establishing a more just and reasonable new international political and economic order and creating a new face for world development and human civilization and progress. The "Belt and Road" construction advocated by China provides a new scheme and model for promoting the development of today’s world, improving international exchanges and global economic governance, and its "newness" lies in cooperation, joint construction and sharing.

  Creative inheritance, application and development of oriental wisdom and historical wisdom of human society

  In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Supreme Leader called on the people of all countries to make concerted efforts to build a community of human destiny and a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, tolerance, cleanliness and beauty. The core connotation of the idea of building a community of human destiny is to want peace instead of war, development instead of poverty, cooperation instead of confrontation, and win-win instead of single-win. This idea is also put forward on the basis of conforming to the historical trend, responding to the requirements of the times, reflecting the common aspirations of the people of the world and rallying the consensus of people of insight in various countries, which points out the direction for improving global governance and building a more just and rational new international order.

  There is only one earth for mankind, and all countries coexist in one world. Today’s world is in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment. With the deepening of world political multipolarization, economic globalization, cultural diversity and social informatization, the economic, political, cultural and social ties of various countries and regions are unprecedentedly close, and dialogues and exchanges between different civilizations are increasingly frequent. Peace, development, cooperation and win-win are the aspirations of the people and the general trend. At the same time, the world is facing increasing uncertainty and instability, the process of world economic recovery is slow, the polarization between the rich and the poor is becoming increasingly serious, various frictions, conflicts and local wars occur from time to time, and global challenges such as terrorism, network security, population explosion, moral decline, transnational crime, resource shortage, environmental damage and major infectious diseases are increasingly prominent, and there is still a long way to go to promote the lofty cause of human peace and development. In the face of the profound and complicated international situation and unprecedented challenges, no country can be immune to it, and no country can deal with it alone. Only when people of all countries make concerted efforts to continuously explore and make use of all outstanding ideological and cultural achievements accumulated and being created by mankind, especially the enlightenment, wisdom and experience contained therein, can we jointly build a community of human destiny, effectively cope with and resolve challenges and problems, and thus create a bright future for world development and human civilization and progress.

  The proposal of building a community of human destiny has a long and profound cultural heritage. An important ideological concept and a beautiful social ideal have been formed in Chinese civilization for a long time, which is "the world is public" and "the world is one". China’s pre-Qin historical classic "Book of Rites, Liyun" said: "The trip to the Avenue is also a public affair. … … It means Datong. " The so-called "the world is public" means that the world is not the world of one person, one family, one country and one nation, but the world shared by all people, all nationalities and all countries. Based on the essence of "the world is public", the ancient sages of China also put forward another important political thought, that is, the people-oriented principle of "the people are the foundation of the country" and "the people are the foundation". The so-called "people-oriented" is to advocate that social, economic, political and cultural affairs and the activities of governing the country should obey and serve the common interests of the people all over the world, so as to achieve "safety", "enrichment" and "joy". Jia Yi, a famous political commentator in the Western Han Dynasty, once said that a politician should "take the rich and happy people as merits and the poor people as sins". Of course, historical facts have repeatedly shown that,In the feudal society in which a few people ruled the majority in China’s history, the rulers did not and could not really implement the idea of "the world is public", the principle of "people-oriented" and the realization of "reassuring the people", "enriching the people" and "entertaining the people". However, as the ideological essence of Chinese traditional culture, the advanced political thoughts and the ideal of a beautiful society, which reflect the laws of the development and progress of human society, have been passed down.

  The idea of "the world is public" and "the world is one" is not unique to Chinese culture and civilization, but also advocated and advocated by the cultures and civilizations of many countries and regions in the world. From Aristotle’s "human beings must live in harmony with each other" to the "cosmopolitanism" spirit advocated by European enlightenment scholars in the 18th century, and then to the "one world" advocated by former Indian Prime Minister Nehru; From the theory of "harmony" put forward by thinkers on the ancient Korean Peninsula to "everything is the best" advocated by islamic philosophy Thought; From China, India, Myanmar and other countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to insist on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in handling international relations, to the establishment of the European Community and the European Union, and then to the establishment of the African Union, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States and the ASEAN Community, etc., the ideas of "the world is for the common good" and "the world is one" have been reflected from different angles, levels and degrees. It can be seen that the idea of "the world is public" and "the world is one" is the common historical wisdom and ideological essence created by people from all countries and regions in the world to promote the development of human society.

  If these historical wisdom and ideological essence provide important historical enlightenment and historical basis for the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and the emergence of the concept of a community of human destiny, then the strong desire and the trend of the times of people all over the world to maintain lasting peace, practice win-win cooperation, promote common development and achieve common prosperity formed under the new international situation today are important practical basis and realistic motivation for this construction and concept. The historical experience of the development of human society and the progress of human civilization has repeatedly proved that all the inevitable products of history, once produced, will continue to open up the road of progress for themselves with invincible momentum and strength until they reach the other side of success and victory. This is independent of human will. It can be said that the great feat of building the "Belt and Road" and building a community of human destiny marks the beginning and arrival of a new historical era in the development of the world and the progress of human civilization.
