Last week, the Trump administration proposed revoking the visas of Chinese students who express support for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Just days later, Harvard offered a revealing counterpoint: the Kennedy School of Government selected a Chinese student to deliver the commencement address. The speaker, Yurong “Luanna” Jiang, used language strikingly similar to the CCP’s official worldview.
Let’s consider the parallels.
In 2013, shortly after assuming power, Xi Jinping introduced a new ideological slogan: “a community with a shared future for mankind.” It quickly became central to the CCP’s global propaganda efforts. A few years later, Xi elaborated:
“A community with a shared future for mankind, as the name suggests, means that the future and destiny of every nation and country are closely interconnected. We should stand together through thick and thin, share honor and disgrace, and work hard to turn this planet—where we were born and raised—into a harmonious big family, making the aspirations of people around the world for a better life a reality.”
This phrase was enshrined in both the CCP Charter and China’s Constitution. Since then, it has served as a soft-power motif for China’s global ambitions.
Now, listen to what Ms. Jiang told Harvard graduates in her speech:
“That moment reminds me of something I used to believe when I was a kid: that the world was becoming a small village. I remember being told we would be the first generation to end hunger and poverty for humankind. My program at Harvard is International Development. It was built on this exact beautiful vision that humanity rises and falls as one.”
