Abstract: Since 2013, China has endeavored to promote the building of a community with a shared future with neighboring countries. To date, it has established and developed such a community with eighteen neighboring states. This has not only made the community with a shared future with neighboring countries a concrete and tangible pattern of interstate relations, but also positioned it as the mainstream form of Chinas relations with its neighboring countries. Compared to the security characteristics of tributary relations, mandala relations, alliance relations, and partnership relations, as well as the theory of security communities, the community with a shared future with neighboring countries that China is promoting exhibits distinct features in both the concept and practice of security cooperation. Its conceptual features are mainly reflected in three aspects: the prominent role, scientific comprehensiveness, and core values of the vision. Its practical features are primarily manifested in four dimensions: the scope, process, categories, and driving forces of security cooperation. These characteristics demonstrate the superiority and advanced nature of the community with a shared future with neighboring countries. From a security perspective, China still faces five major challenges in further advancing the construction of such a community. Nevertheless, the established conceptual and practical features of security cooperation provide a solid foundation and reference for addressing these challenges.

Key words: neighborhood diplomacy, community with a shared future with neighboring countries, pattern of interstate relations, security cooperation

摘要： 2013年以来中国开始着力推动构建周边命运共同体，至今已经与十八个周边国家确立和构建了命运共同体关系，这不仅使周边命运共同体成为了一种具体且实在的国家间关系形态，而且也使它成为中国与周边国家关系的主流形态。相对于朝贡关系、曼陀罗关系、同盟关系与伙伴关系的安全特性以及安全共同体理论而言，中国推动构建的周边命运共同体在安全合作理念与实践上都有着自身鲜明特征，其理念特征主要体现在理念的突出作用、理念的科学完备性与理念的核心价值这三个方面，其实践特征主要体现在安全合作的领域、进程、范畴与推动者这四个方面，这些特征正是周边命运共同体关系优越性和先进性的体现。从安全角度来看，中国进一步推动周边命运共同体建设还面临五个方面的难点，而这些已经形成的安全合作的理念与实践特征为应对这些安全难点提供了有利的基础和有效参照路径。
