Since 2021, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has announced a string of global initiatives that it has billed as providing “Chinese solutions” (中国方案) to reform the global governance system (Chinese People’s Institute for Foreign Affairs [CPIFA], April 2024). These include initiatives on development, security, civilization, and governance (China Brief, September 6, 2024, January 17, October 31). According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), they have focused on “promoting international cooperation on development, encouraging dialogue and consultation over international discord, promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and anchoring the direction, principles, and path of the global governance system and mechanism reform”
The four initiatives announced to date align with four of the five lines of the Community of Common Destiny (CCD; 人类命运共同体), the overarching framework of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for reforming global political, security, development, culture, and environment policy (Texas National Security Review, November 2018; The Asan Forum, May 7). Combined, these initiatives give the PRC a codified approach to achieving CCD objectives.
