As the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, building a community with a shared future for mankind is the right choice for all mankind to address common challenges and ensure lasting peace and development in the world. Hegemonism, especially deep-rooted cultural hegemony, has become a major obstacle to rallying global forces and building a community with a shared future for mankind. Achieving equal treatment and harmonious coexistence among the world's diverse civilizations is an objective requirement for striving for a bright future for human society.
The "second combination" has set a successful example of inclusiveness, mutual learning, exchange, development and innovation among multiple civilizations, and shattered the myth that a single civilization dominates the world and strongly assimilates other civilizations. Marxist scientific theory was conceived in the soil of Western culture and was born at the time of the rise of modern industrial civilization, and the excellent traditional Chinese culture can be combined with it, reflecting the innovation and inclusiveness of Chinese civilization. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development, "the innovation of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines the Chinese nation's enterprising spirit of uprightness and respect for the past and not retro, and determines the fearless character of the Chinese nation that is not afraid of new challenges and has the courage to accept new things"; The inclusiveness of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines the historical orientation of the Chinese nation's exchanges, exchanges and integration", and "determines the openness of Chinese culture to the eclecticism of world civilizations". It is precisely on the basis of this character that the Chinese Communists, on the basis of adhering to the excellent traditional Chinese culture, bravely embraced the world's most advanced scientific theory - Marxism, and integrated the two into a socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, so that the Chinese civilization was able to revive its decline and be reborn from the ashes, and the Chinese nation once again stood tall among the nations of the world. This has set an example for the world's ancient civilizations to move towards rejuvenation through inheritance and innovation, and has made the garden of world civilizations show a brighter prospect of more vigorous prosperity.

The "second combination" has opened a successful path for non-Western civilizations to strive for an equal status in dialogue among civilizations, and has provided strong support for building a community with a shared future for mankind. In today's world, different countries and regions have taken a variety of paths to modernization, rooted in rich and diverse civilizations. Seeking the right way to get along with diverse civilizations is an urgent task for building a community with a shared future for mankind. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the high-level dialogue between the Communist Party of China and world political parties, "'A single flower blooming alone is not spring, and a hundred flowers blooming in spring.'" Today, when the future and destiny of all countries are closely linked, inclusive coexistence, exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations play an irreplaceable role in promoting the modernization process of human society and prospering the garden of world civilizations", "We should jointly advocate respect for the diversity of world civilizations, adhere to equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness among civilizations, and transcend the estrangement of civilizations, the clash of civilizations, and the superiority of civilizations through exchanges among civilizations." This important exposition of the general secretary clarified the necessary conditions for building a community with a shared future for mankind. The "second combination" brings about the value of the times in excavating history and culture, promoting the successful experience of creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional culture in the process of modernization, and exploring an effective way for ancient civilizations to meet the challenges of modernization and realize equal dialogue with other civilizations.
In short, the proposal of the "second combination" is a new achievement of the Sinicization of Marxism, a new progress in the modernization of Marxism, and a further deepening of the theoretical and practical exploration of socialism with Chinese characteristics and Chinese-style modernization. In today's era, which is unprecedentedly close to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and in the critical period when the world is experiencing great changes unseen in a century, the "second combination" proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping embodies the high degree of theoretical and cultural consciousness of the Chinese Communists, has outstanding value of the times and far-reaching historical significance, and not only has great guiding significance for China's future, but also will have a far-reaching impact on the world. We must continue to deepen our understanding and understanding of the "second combination", constantly improve our cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, and strive to win new victories in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
