Annotation: The concept of a community with a shared destiny for mankind is rooted in the communal thought of the classics of Marxism, and also contains the idea of great harmony of peace in the 5.000-year-old traditional culture of China. The Chinese communists’ relentless pursuit of a community of common destiny for mankind is the internal driving force behind transforming this concept into a constitutional norm. The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is a set of values that are the legacy and the development of the foreign policy of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence enshrined in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China. The content of the community of a common destiny for mankind, enshrined in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China, imposes on the state the obligations and powers to implement the concept of a community of a shared future for mankind. The article reveals how the concept of a community of a common destiny for mankind became part of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China, what historical documents preceded the constitutional consolidation of this postulate, as well as the significance of this concept for the well-being of the Chinese people, as well as for human progress in general.
