WASHINGTON — Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang published an article Monday on a US magazine, saying that a commitment to world peace and common development as well as the dedication to building a community with a shared future for mankind constitute the official declaration of the worldview held by China's governing party.
In the article titled "How China Sees the World" that appeared on the website of The National Interest, Qin said the aforementioned worldview declared by the Communist Party of China "sheds light on the way it engages with the world."
On relations between China and the United States, he wrote that the two countries "now share more common interests, not less"
"Looking at the world as a community with a shared future naturally leads to a path of reform, opening up, and win-win cooperation," Qin wrote, adding that China's economic engagement with the outside world ranges from the signing of multiple free trade agreements to facilitating foreign firms to invest in the Chinese market.

"Looking at the world as a community with a shared future naturally leads to the path of peaceful development," Qin said. "China's development means a stronger force for peace, not a growing power poised to 'break the status quo,' as some call it."
On the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Qin said, "the most urgent task for the moment is to promote peace talks between Russia and Ukraine as well as dialogue between the United States, the EU (the European Union), NATO, and Russia."
"In the long term, people must realize that grounding one's own security on other countries' insecurity won't work; it is necessary to establish a balanced, effective, and sustainable European security framework," he said.

On relations between China and the United States, he wrote that the two countries "now share more common interests, not less," saying, "This is how the notion of a community with a shared future for mankind mirrors in China-US relations."
"The differences between China and the United States — in history, culture, social system, and development path — will most probably remain in 100 years. But as residents of the same world, we should and can listen to each other, narrow our gap in perceptions of the world, and explore a way to get along based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation," he wrote.
