It reflects a rational concept of how a rising China handles relations with the outside world. It rejects analysis and understanding of simple traditional thinking that a strong power is bound to seek hegemony. However, the Chinese diplomacy also needs Chinese thinking and perspectives. With analysis eclecticism and incorporated process constructivism to carry out study on the international relations, it can be found that the community of shared destiny is an economic, political and security order, is also a concept order; while a community of shared interests is its foundation, a community of shared security is its guarantee, the common knowledge composes its highest standard. Common security is the important guarantee and strategic goal for the community of shared destiny, i.e. it shows that the peaceful development strategy highlights the reasonable security demands of others China respects; win-win cooperation principle reflects the importance of cooperative security in the international pattern of deepening interdependence; partnership strategy shows diplomatic efforts of Chinese exploration and practice of the new security concept beyond "security alliance".展开更多
