PUTTING POLICY INTO ACTION

Key to this "shared future" is translating the vision into action.

During the past five years, China has been pursuing win-win cooperation with the world while following its own path of peaceful development.

The Belt and Road Initiative, as the epitome of the concept, has become a huge cooperation platform for countries concerned -- big or small, near or far -- to realize their common development.

Also proposed by Xi in 2013, the initiative comprises the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road and aims to build a trade, investment and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along and beyond ancient Silk Road trade routes.

So far, the initiative has gained support from more than 100 countries and international organizations. More than 80 countries and international organizations have signed cooperation agreements with China.

"The Belt and Road Initiative promotes the formation of a new global and economic order," said Wang Yiwei, director of the Institute of International Affairs at Renmin University, adding that the new global order was a community of shared future which embodies "China's view of power, stressing equality and fairness."

As a supporter of the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-initiated Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has now expanded its membership to 84, representing a vote of confidence in the bank by the international community.
