Adhering to a Global Vision Has Profound Cultural Foundations and Practical Basis

General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized: “The Communist Party of China is a party that seeks happiness for the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and it is also a party that seeks progress for humanity and harmony for the world.” Adhering to a global vision is a historical experience drawn from the Party’s century-long struggle and an important standpoint, viewpoint, and method running through Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. A profound grasp of the theoretical sources and practical foundations of adhering to a global vision helps us deeply understand the essential essence and key principles of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, keep in mind the “two overall situations” [1]1 The “two overall situations” refers to the overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the overall situation of changes unseen in a century in the world., and better advance Chinese-path modernization in the currents of the times.

习近平总书记强调：“中国共产党是为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴的党，也是为人类谋进步、为世界谋大同的党。”坚持胸怀天下，是我们党百年奋斗的一条历史经验，是贯穿习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的重要立场观点方法。深刻把握坚持胸怀天下的理论来源和实践基础，有助于我们深入理解习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的精髓要义，胸怀“两个大局”，在时代发展潮流中更好推进中国式现代化。

Inheriting the lofty values of Marxist scientific theory. Adhering to a global vision embodies the distant goal of Marxism to liberate all humanity, the lofty ideal of establishing a “community of free individuals,” and the political nature of a proletarian party that stands for the public good. It reflects our Party’s unremitting pursuit of ideals and beliefs and its conscious mission to seek harmony for the world. A proletarian party bearing a lofty mission “always represents the interests of the entire movement” and “has no interests separate from those of the proletariat as a whole”; rather, it seeks “to benefit the vast majority of people.” [2]2 This is a paraphrase of the Communist Manifesto, where Marx and Engels state that the Communists “have no interests separate and apart from those of the proletariat as a whole” and that the proletarian movement is “the self-conscious, independent movement of the immense majority, in the interest of the immense majority.” The Communist Party of China takes its faith in Marxism and its conviction in socialism and communism as its spiritual pillar, striving through its own struggles for peace and well-being for all humanity. In the New Era, Xi Jinping has proposed promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, advocating that all countries adhere to dialogue and consultation, shared construction and shared benefits, win-win cooperation, exchange and mutual learning, and green and low-carbon development, and work to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, and clean and beautiful. Building a community with a shared future for mankind reflects the broad vision and noble sentiments of Chinese Communists in the New Era, who always care about the future and destiny of the world’s people. It is a contemporary expression and practical action of Marxism’s lofty ideal pursuit.

继承马克思主义科学理论的崇高价值。坚持胸怀天下，体现了马克思主义为全人类求解放的远大目标、建立“自由人联合体”的崇高理想，以及无产阶级政党立党为公的政治本色，体现了我们党对理想信念的不懈追求、为世界谋大同的使命自觉。肩负崇高使命的无产阶级政党“始终代表整个运动的利益”，“他们没有任何同整个无产阶级的利益不同的利益”，而是要“为绝大多数人谋利益”。中国共产党把对马克思主义的信仰、对社会主义和共产主义的信念作为精神支柱，以自身的奋斗为全人类谋和平、谋福祉。新时代，习近平总书记提出推动构建人类命运共同体，主张各国坚持对话协商、共建共享、合作共赢、交流互鉴、绿色低碳，推动建设一个持久和平、普遍安全、共同繁荣、开放包容、清洁美丽的世界。构建人类命运共同体，体现新时代中国共产党人始终关怀世界人民前途命运的宽广视野和高尚情怀，是马克思主义崇高理想追求的时代表达和实际行动。

Inheriting the ideological genes of fine traditional Chinese culture. Over thousands of years of evolution, the Chinese nation has formed the ideal of governance expressed as “when the Great Way prevails, the world is shared by all” and “cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world”; the thought of rule by ritual expressed as “do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire” and “guide them with virtue and align them with ritual”; and the moral concept expressed as “if poor, cultivate oneself alone; if successful, benefit the whole world” and “everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.” These ideological elements together shaped the Chinese worldview of “regarding the world as one family,” the international outlook of being kind and benevolent toward neighbors and harmonizing all nations, and provided ideological support for Chinese civilization to form an open and inclusive broad mind and an inner pursuit of peace, harmony, and concord. Today, our Party closely links China’s development and progress with the common development of all countries, thinking about and advancing national rejuvenation and human progress in a broad spatiotemporal dimension. This sense of responsibility and commitment of a major party and major country is precisely the inheritance and development of the ideological genes of fine traditional Chinese culture.

传承中华优秀传统文化的思想基因。经过几千年的演进，中华民族形成了“大道之行也，天下为公”“修身、齐家、治国、平天下”的治世理想，形成了“己所不欲，勿施于人”“道之以德，齐之以礼”的礼治思想，形成了“穷则独善其身，达则兼济天下”“天下兴亡，匹夫有责”的道德理念。这些思想元素共同塑造了中国人“视天下犹一家”的世界观，亲仁善邻、协和万邦的国际观，为中华文明形成开放包容的博大胸怀、和平和睦和谐的内在追求提供了思想支撑。今天，我们党把中国的发展进步同各国的共同发展紧紧联系在一起，在宏阔的时空维度思考与推进民族复兴和人类进步，这份大党大国的责任担当正是对中华优秀传统文化思想基因的传承发展。

Rooted in the practical exploration of Chinese-path modernization. Through long-term and unremitting efforts, our Party has united and led the people to forge the path of Chinese-path modernization. In this historical process, our Party has always adhered to independence and self-reliance while also focusing on strengthening ties with the world. Especially since reform and opening up, China has adhered to the basic state policy of opening up to the outside world, pursued a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy, continuously enhanced the internal and external linkages of development, and while achieving its own development, has benefited other countries and peoples more. The path of Chinese-path modernization is both based on its own national conditions and draws on the experiences of other countries; it both benefits the Chinese people and promotes common development in the world. This is an important reason why it has achieved great success and is becoming broader and more expansive. Adhering to a global vision is precisely a valuable experience and concept summarized from the practical exploration of Chinese-path modernization. Currently, changes unseen in a century are accelerating, and the process of human modernization faces many challenges, requiring all countries to uphold the concept of solidarity and cooperation to jointly address them. China advocates that all countries take the path of shared construction, shared benefits, and win-win outcomes, jointly make the “cake” of human modernization bigger, and enhance the inclusiveness of the fruits of modernization. China is continuously expanding high-level opening up, deeply participating in global division of labor and cooperation, striving to provide new opportunities for world development with new achievements in Chinese-path modernization, and demonstrating the broad vision and great responsibility of adhering to a global vision through new contributions to human modernization.

植根中国式现代化的实践探索。经过长期不懈努力，我们党团结带领人民走出了中国式现代化道路。在这一历史进程中，我们党始终坚持独立自主、自立自强，同时注重加强与世界的联系。特别是改革开放以来，我国坚持对外开放的基本国策，奉行互利共赢的开放战略，不断提升发展的内外联动性，在实现自身发展的同时更多惠及其他国家和人民。中国式现代化道路既基于自身国情、又借鉴各国经验，既造福中国人民、又促进世界共同发展，这是其能够取得巨大成就且越走越宽广的重要原因。坚持胸怀天下，正是基于中国式现代化的实践探索总结出的宝贵经验和理念。当前，百年变局加速演进，人类现代化进程面临诸多挑战，需要各国秉持团结合作理念共同应对。中国主张各国走共建共享共赢之路，共同做大人类社会现代化的“蛋糕”，增强现代化成果的普惠性。中国不断扩大高水平对外开放，深度参与全球分工与合作，努力以中国式现代化新成就为世界发展提供新机遇，以对人类现代化的新贡献彰显胸怀天下的大格局大担当。
