How China's initiatives are paving a new path to a better world
"Countries around the world are like passengers aboard the same ship who share the same destiny. For the ship to navigate the storm and sail toward a bright future, all passengers must pull together. The thought of throwing anyone overboard is simply not acceptable," Xi once said.
With this vivid metaphor, Xi underscores the vision of a community with a shared future for humanity, charting a course for improving the global governance system and promoting the common development of humanity.
The GGI seeks to address this governance deficit. It calls for adhering to sovereign equality, directly targeting the shortcomings of a system in which "a few countries call the shots," and affirms that the destiny of the world should be shaped collectively by all peoples. Regardless of size, strength, or level of development, all countries are equal members of the international community, with the right to participate in global governance.
It calls for abiding by the international rule of law, emphasizing that international rules must be jointly formulated by the international community rather than monopolized by a few countries.
It advocates for rules that evolve with the times, taking into account countries' different stages of development and legitimate interests.
It calls for practicing multilateralism by upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, reinforcing the central role of multilateral mechanisms, opposing bloc politics and camp confrontation, and promoting a more coordinated and effective system of global governance.
The initiative promotes a people-centered approach, emphasizing that the ultimate goal of global governance is to improve the well-being of all peoples. It seeks to address the issues most directly related to people's lives, such as employment, education and healthcare, so that the outcomes of governance are shared more broadly and more equitably among all peoples.
It focuses on taking real actions, prioritizes the delivery of concrete results from the GGI, and encourages countries to turn consensus into action and address governance challenges through pragmatic cooperation.
These five pillars reinforce one another, outlining a clear framework for reforming the global governance system.
