In an era marked by rising global tensions and shifting geopolitical dynamics, nations - especially major countries - find themselves at a crossroads. They must decide whether to forge a future based on multilateral cooperation and reform global governance, or retreat into a zero-sum paradigm where narrow self-interest and unilateral actions risk undermining the international order.
In its latest government work report, China outlined a comprehensive vision for the future. It is ready to work with other members of the international community to promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, pursue the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI), and the Global Civilizations Initiative (GCI), and actively participate in reform and development of the global governance system. In doing so, it will promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and create a bright future of world peace and development.
This approach underscores China's resolve to act as an "enabler" on the world stage - steadfastly advocating for fairness, justice, peace and stability.
As a responsible major country, China always stands firm on the right side of history and on the side of human progress, aligned with the broader cause of human progress. Its persistent emphasis on peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit is reflected in its ongoing provision of global public goods and its commitment to improving global governance.
At the heart of the vision lies building a community with a shared future for mankind - a concept that resonates with the long-standing traditions of Chinese civilization and the internationalist commitment of Chinese Communists. It enables China to secure benefits not just for itself but for the international community at large.
