Comments on Building a New Type of International Relations from the Perspective of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind: Take China-Africa Cooperative Relations as an Example

Today's world is in a stage of great development, great change and great adjustment, and the development of the pattern of international relations is faced with many challenges and opportunities. In the context of globalization, how to seize the opportunity in the turbulent and changing international situation and build a sound external environment for realizing the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the top priority of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. The community of shared future for mankind is a new concept proposed by China based on the development trend of mankind and the world. In terms of its code of conduct and value-oriented dimension, it has become the guiding ideology for the construction and layout of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. The new type of international relations is China's plan put forward in the face of the dramatic changes in the world pattern, and it is also a major achievement of China's diplomatic theory and practice innovation since the 18th CPC National Congress. The building of a community with a shared future for mankind and a new type of international relations complement each other and serve as the premise and goal of each other. As a major issue of China's diplomacy in the new era, China-Africa cooperation is also a model of a new type of international relations from the perspective of a community with a shared future for mankind. It has implemented the concept of "harmonious world" advocated by the Chinese government, promoted the comprehensive and in-depth development of China-Africa relations, deconstructed the "balance of power system", balanced the "liberal world order", and promoted the diversity of human civilizations. It is an important force for maintaining world peace and stability of international order. However, in the context of turbulent changes in global governance, opportunities and challenges coexist in China-Africa cooperation. Political, economic and cultural opportunities are conducive to the deepening of the new type of strategic partnership between China and Africa, while the public opinion incitement of Western countries and the negative impact of economic globalization also make the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation face certain risks. But looking at the overall situation, in the new era, with the joint efforts of China and Africa, FOCAC has broad prospects and huge potential.
