Community of common destiny for all is a concept proposed by President Xi Jinping that emphasizes that a country should take into consideration other countries' concerns while seeking its own interests and should promote the common development of all.
The concept stems from the idea that we are all descendants of the same ancestors. Although countries have different or even contradictory national interests, religious beliefs, ideologies and social systems, we all live in and share the same world and should try our best to coexist peacefully.
