The vision of “community with a shared future for mankind” has served as the Chinese philosophy and approach towards the complex world situation and a variety of global issues in practices of global governance. This paper adopts the discourse-historical approach (DHA) and corpus methods to conduct research on news reports from the British media over the past decade related to this concept. The analysis is conducted from three perspectives: subject analysis, discourse strategies, and language resources. The research findings reveal that this concept is relatively underrepresented in British media and receives limited attention. Moreover, this study illustrates that the wisdom and connotation of this concept, such as its view of international power relations, common interests, sustainable development and global governance, are generally distorted by the British media. This study suggests that an in-depth demonstration on translation and dissemination of “community with a shared future for mankind” will help to better respond to concerns of the international communities and build a fair, objective and comprehensive image of China in the world.
