Annotation It is noted that the concept of “a community with a shared future for mankind” is one of the main diplomatic strategies of the PRC in recent years. It is shown the influence of Chinese traditional culture on the process of building “a community with a shared future for mankind”. The concept is China’s strategic vision on a global governance and international relations, which is based on a strong traditional cultural background. Chinese leaders seek to find the theoretical foundation of the concept in traditional Chinese culture which encourages and advocates peace and cooperation. There have been applied civilizational, systematic, historical and sociological approaches in this research. The concepts of “Unity between Heaven and Man”, “The doctrine of the mean” are revealed. It is concluded that the “a community with a shared future for mankind” is closely connected with such concepts as “Harmony Is to Be Prized”, “Unity between Heaven and Man”. The specific China’s mega project One Belt One Road is urged to realize the great idea of national rejuvenation – the Chinese dream. It is proved that while implementing “a community with a shared future for mankind”, the leadership of China relies on its own rich traditional culture, worked out throughout the history of Chinese civilization. Authors describe the development and continuation of the ancient Silk Road in China is the practice and attempt of this human and ideal society, which not only promotes the exchange and cooperation of economy, trade and culture between China and the world, but also has great influence on the economic and social development of great number of countries thought the world. Therefore, it can be argued that Chinese leadership creatively develops the concept and borrows all the best and most advanced technologies accumulated by world experience in shaping a world order based on mutual respect of countries and peoples, common interests, the formation of a new civilizational model of international relations
