Editor’s note: ln this column we present to you the phrases daily used in the media and by Chinese government， so providing a succinct overview of China’s political thinking， its policies and ongoing reforms and transitions.

命运共同体

命运共同体是中国国家主席习近平提出的重要理念之一。截止到2015年5月，他已经60多次公开谈到这一理念。2013年3月，他在莫斯科国际关系学院演讲时，第一次明确提出这一理念。他说:“这个世界，各国相互联系、相互依存的程度空前加深，人类生活在同一个地球村里，生活在历史和现实交汇的同一个时空里，越来越成为你中有我、我中有你的命运共同体。”

2015年3月，他在博鳌的演讲中，提出了迈向命运共同体的“四个坚持”：坚持各国相互尊重、平等相待，坚持合作共赢、共同发展，坚持实现共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全，坚持不同文明兼容并蓄、交流互鉴。早在2013年3月，他在访问坦桑尼亚时谈到:“这段历史告诉我们，中非从来都是命运共同体，共同的历史遭遇、共同的发展任务、共同的战略利益把我们紧紧联系在一起。”

Community of shared future

Building a community of shared future is one of the key ideas proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping. By the end of May 2015， Xi had spoken on this topic on more than 60 occasions. It was during an address at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations in March 2013 that he first raised this idea. He said， “In today’s world， countries are connected to and dependent on one another to a degree never seen before. We all live in the same global village， in a space where the past and the present meet， and in a community of shared future in which everyone has a little bit of others in him- or herself.”

In his keynote speech at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference in March 2015， President Xi set forth the principles for building a community of shared future， namely the need for all countries to respect one another and treat each other as equals， cooperate in search of win-win solutions and common development， achieve common， comprehensive， collaborative， and sustainable security， and maintain mutually enriching and beneficial interactions among civilizations in a spirit of inclusiveness. Earlier in March 2013 during his visit to Tanzania， Xi said history shows that China and Africa have always found themselves facing similar odds. Similar historical experience， common development tasks and shared strategic interests have bound us together.

维护和发展开放型世界经济

中国倡导维护和发展开放型世界经济，主张各国应进一步扩大相互开放，旗帜鲜明地反对各种形式的贸易保护主义，齐心协力做大世界经济这块大蛋糕。为此，各国应维护自由、开放、非歧视的多边贸易体制，不搞排他性贸易标准、规则、体系，避免造成全球市场分割和贸易体系分化。要探讨完善全球投资规则，引导全球发展资本合理流动，更加有效地配置发展资源。

Maintaining and developing an open world economy

China is committed to maintaining and developing an open world economy. It encourages all countries to open their doors wider， stand firm against all forms of protectionism and work in concert to promote the growth of the world economy. To this end， they should work towards a free， open and nondiscriminatory multilateral trading system， and resist any standards， rules or policies that condone or encourage exclusionary trade practices. Efforts are called for to avoid undue fragmentation of the global market and trading system. All avenues should be explored to improve global investment rules， and ensure rational flows and more effective allocation of global development resources.

完善全球经济治理

中国提出的完善全球经济治理的根本目标是推动经济全球化朝着均衡、普惠、共赢的方向发展。均衡，就是要兼顾发达国家和发展中国家需求，平衡发达国家和发展中国家关切。普惠，就是要把各种实实在在的利益和好处带给所有国家，惠及各国人民。共赢，就是要把本国利益同他国利益结合起来，把本国发展同各国共同发展联系起来。全球经济治理应该由世界各国共同参与，特别是增加新兴市场国家和发展中国家的代表性和发言权。

Improving global economic governance

The goal of improving global economic governance is， in our view， to transform economic globalization into a balanced，win-win process that brings benefits to all. The process has to be balanced so as to accommodate the needs of both developed and developing countries， and address their concerns. It should ensure that real results and benefits will accrue to all countries and their people. It should be a win-win game in which the interests and development needs of individual countries are interlocked and coordinated. Global economic governance requires the participation of all countries， and in particular enhanced representation of and a bigger say for emerging-market and developing countries.
