The concept of the community of the common destiny for mankind presents the result of deep philosophical reflections on the future development of the world from the perspective of all mankind. Answering the questions what kind of world to build and how to build this world, it proposes to use Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions. The concept of the community of the common destiny for mankind has a deep philosophical basis and takes into account a wide historical horizon. It develops and renews the philosophical provisions of Marxism about the generic essence of man and about world history. Marx's idea of Gattungswe­sen des Menschen (species essence of human being) goes beyond the biological "population" and "ethnic group", lays a strong philosophical and ideological ba­sis of the concept of "community of the unified fate of mankind". This concept also develops such the best traditional philosophical concepts of China as "har­mony while maintaining differences" for society, "unity of nature and human", "harmonization of ten thousand neighboring countries" in the doctrine of inter­state relations. The idea of the community of the common destiny for mankind is becoming more recognized in the international community, it becomes an impor­tant guideline for maintaining peace around the world and promoting world development.
