This article is devoted to the interpretation of the key Chinese
diplomatic concept of 'Renlei Mingyun gongtongti' ('a community with a shared
future for mankind') based on the theory of Natural Semantic Metalanguage
(NSM), which tries to reduce the semantics of all lexicons to a limited set of
semantic primitives. The goals of the study are, firstly, to reveal the essence of
this concept in Chinese, secondly, to analyze the options for its translation into
English and Russian, and thirdly, to interpret it with the help of Minimal Language, which is the latest development of the theory of NSM. 'Renlei Mingyun
gongtongti' consists of three parts: 'renlei' means the whole of humanity, 'mingyun' means all the good and bad events (opportunities and challenges) that
humanity will face in the future, and 'gongtongti' means the mutual exchange
of opportunities and responsibility to challenges. Due to the complexity of these
concepts, questions of their perception also arise. These questions force us to
find another way of interpretation, namely with the help of words that are semantically simpler, objective and almost universal in all languages of the world,
which help to maximize the simplicity and universality of the interpretation of
more complex diplomatic concepts. The scientific novelty of the study is that
this is the first attempt by Chinese russianists to interpret this diplomatic concept
using Minimal Language.
