This is an excerpt from General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions from September 2021 to September 2025.

The article emphasizes that in today's world, the peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit, and governance deficit are increasing unabated. The purpose of proposing the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and the global development initiative, global security initiative, and global civilization initiative is to break the above-mentioned deficit, promote the construction of a better world, and create a better life for people of all countries.

The article points out that development is the key to realizing people's happiness. We advocate inclusive economic globalization, promote high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and implement global development initiatives. The purpose is to realize inclusive growth opportunities, promote inclusive development paths, allow people of all countries to share the fruits of development, allow countries in the "global village" to seek common development and prosperity, and make the concept of win-win a consensus. We must adhere to development priority, people-centeredness, inclusiveness and inclusiveness, innovation-driven development, harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and action orientation to jointly promote global development to a new stage of balance, coordination, and inclusiveness.

The article points out that security is the prerequisite for development, and mankind is an indivisible security community. In today's world where countries are interdependent, it is not feasible to pursue so-called absolute security and exclusive security for oneself. The Global Security Initiative advocates cooperation to promote development and cooperation to promote security and build a more balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture. We must adhere to a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept, insist on respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, insist on abiding by the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, insist on paying attention to the legitimate security concerns of all countries, insist on resolving differences and disputes between countries in a peaceful manner through dialogue and consultation, and insist on coordinating the maintenance of security in traditional and non-traditional fields.

The article points out that diverse civilizations are the true nature of the world. Today, when the future and destiny of all countries are closely linked, the inclusive coexistence, exchanges and mutual learning of different civilizations play an irreplaceable role in promoting the modernization process of human society and prospering the world's garden of civilizations. The Global Civilization Initiative is proposed to promote mutual understanding and mutual understanding among people of all countries and promote tolerance and mutual learning among various civilizations. We should jointly advocate respecting the diversity of world civilizations, jointly advocate the promotion of common values ​​for all mankind, jointly advocate the importance of cultural heritage and innovation, jointly advocate the strengthening of international people-to-people exchanges and cooperation, and strive to create a new situation of people-to-people exchanges, cultural integration, and people-to-people bonds around the world, so that the garden of world civilizations can be colorful and full of vitality.

The article pointed out that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations. It is an important moment to remember history and create a future together. 80 years ago, the international community learned painful lessons from the catastrophes of the two world wars. The United Nations came into being, and global governance opened a new page. Eighty years later, the trend of the times of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win has not changed. However, the Cold War mentality, hegemonism, and protectionism persist. New threats and challenges continue unabated. The world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and global governance has reached a new crossroads. History tells us that the more difficult the moment, the more we must uphold the original intention of peaceful coexistence, strengthen our confidence in win-win cooperation, insist on moving forward in the logic of historical progress, and develop in the trend of the development of the times. To this end, China has proposed a global governance initiative to work with other countries to promote the construction of a more fair and reasonable global governance system and work together towards a community with a shared future for mankind. First, pursue sovereign equality. Second, abide by the international rule of law. Third, practice multilateralism. Fourth, we advocate putting people first. Fifth, focus on action orientation.
