A Message of Altruism Concept of community with a shared future contributes to world peace

Xi Jinping: The Governance of China by Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is also General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, presents the official Party line on China’s development in the 21st century and also emphasizes Xi’s strong confidence in socialism with Chinese characteristics. He believes China’s unique cultural traditions, historical experience and national conditions determine that the Chinese people must take a development path that suits the nation’s own conditions.

In many of the articles, Xi mentions his main objective is eradication of poverty in China. After 2012, the poverty eradication campaign was accelerated and according to the plans, by the end of 2020, China will lift its people from extreme poverty.

Under Xi’s leadership, giant steps have been taken to alleviate poverty during the 13th Five-year Plan (2016-20) period. In 2012, there were 99 million impoverished people in China and this figure was reduced to 16.6 million in 2018. China seeks to maintain an economic growth of 6-6.5 percent in 2019 and double the 2010 per-capita income by the end of 2020.

State officials have been directed to ensure that the funds diverted for the eradication of poverty are used for that purpose. China has already launched a massive antigraft campaign. Over the last several years, there have been vast improvements in the lives of farmers across China.

Xi promises in the book that the Chinese economy will continue to open up more for foreign investments. In recent years, foreign investors have been given more facilities while the laws have been revised to encourage foreign investment. The Belt and Road Initiative proposed by Xi has become popular worldwide. Not only China but all countries have been benefiting from it.

Chinese direct investments and assistance have been flowing to Asian and African countries under the Belt and Road Initiative. Infrastructure, ports, power plants and highways are some of the projects started with Chinese assistance. These projects have contributed in a big way to economic development and have created a large number of jobs in many countries.

Under Xi’s leadership, China has strengthened its voice against isolationism and protectionism. It remains committed to the Paris Agreement on climate change, promotes multilateral trade, and supports the United Nations. “Indeed, China is a central pillar of multilateralism,” UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez said when he addressed the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing in 2018. Xi wishes all nations to reap benefits from China’s prosperity. This will help China’s success to trickle down to other developing nations.

In the book, Xi also mentions his thought on diplomacy. Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy represents the CPC Central Committee’s new diplomatic philosophy and strategy to keep pace with the times. His philosophy is that a society should emerge where all resources are equally shared among all communities. It is called a community with a shared future for humanity.
