Zheng Bijian, founder and chairman of the China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy, said at the launch ceremony, "Building 'a community with a shared future' for win-win cooperation and shared benefits in the process of advancing a new round of economic globalization is Xi Jinping's idea for how a rapidly rising China should get along with the rest of the world, and that is also his dream for the world."
Zheng added that another essential thought in Xi's book is that two dreams—the "Chinese dream," which seeks the renewal of the Chinese nation through peaceful development, and the "world dream," which aspires to build a shared future through the combined efforts of peoples of all countries—are joined by the common goals of pursuing peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit. Therefore, he notes, this idea rejects the old path of external expansion and hegemony.
Professor Martin Albrow, author of "China's Role in a Shared Human Future," told the Global Times that the main lesson he drew from the book is that President Xi is persistent in emphasizing that the Communist Party of China has a tremendously important role in taking China forward.
"The Chinese Communist Party is indigenous and belongs to China, and it rises out of Chinese history. It's a particular kind of party that the West gets to understand: The Party is going to stay, and it is leading China," Albrow said.
Former Italian prime minister Mario Monti told the media that China plays a very important role in building the community of the shared future for mankind. It's crucially important to understand the vision of China's leader, which embraces China's past, present and future. Monti said the book explains how the governance of a large country such as China is conceived and implemented. "Everybody will appreciate the book's importance," Monti added.
Liu Xiaoming, China's ambassador to the UK, said the two volumes together form a comprehensive system of rich thoughts and theories.
"For those who are hoping to gain a deep understanding of China's path, ideas and plans in the new era, these books are the most authoritative works to look to," Liu said.
