Response to the call of the times

MA XUEJING/CHINA DAILY Understanding China means recognizing not just its economic power and global influence, but also its unique ability to balance strength and cooperation. A community with a shared future means that all countries have equal sovereignty — none should intervene in the internal affairs of others; that countries should jointly manage global affairs democratically, rather than through the dictates of the most powerful states; that countries should engage in "win-win cooperation" to "build a world of common prosperity"; and that countries should treat the diversity of civilizations not as "a source of global conflict, but as an engine driving the advance of human civilizations". China has introduced these values and the necessary mechanisms to the world through global initiatives, which I believe are essential building blocks for forming a community with a shared future. I believe the values of Chinese culture closely align with those needed to build a community of a shared future: trust, peace, and development. It is time to join hands and work together, embracing the spirit of Hehe culture and responding faithfully to the call of the times to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
