Shared future, better world are explored at Vision China event
In his speech, Gosset said since Xi became China’s highest leader in 2012, the country has not only continued to inject dynamics into global economic growth but also share its "intellectual contributions" to beef up the multilateral global governance structure, which have been under threat.
He said among the impressive ideas is Xi's proposal of building a community of a shared future for mankind, which is in contrast with some powers' actions of advocating isolationism, unilateralism and protectionism.
Gosset said the global fears and threats brought by the world's big demographic pressure, and reverse trends of globalization and climate change, have made Xi's proposal of building a community of a shared future of mankind matter. To relieve such fears and threats, the world needs to look at how it can really build this community of a shared future, which are the "right answers", Gosset said.
In her speech, Lu, who also is president of the Shanghai Taiwan Compatriots Friendship Association, interpreted her understanding of the relationship between individuals and the group under the background of the shared community.
"We can share cultures by being open-minded and difference-friendly. We can share social values and ethical observations by not being self-important and all-imposing. We can share educational devotion and technological development by embracing cooperation rather than competition," Lu said.
Fountain shared his experiences of working at China Daily as host of the Good Luck China and Decoding The New Era videos, which provided him with rich opportunities to witness China's breakthroughs in reform and opening-up, internet industries, scientific and technological innovations, and ecological conservation, and feel the country's significant contributions in promoting the Belt and Road Initiative and participating in global governance.
"The objective of shaping a community of a shared future for mankind is something more than just a slogan. It's a maxim for the whole world, not just China, to live by," he said.
