This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Over the past 80 years, the United Nations has promoted the world from post-war reconstruction to common development with the purpose of "maintaining international peace and security and promoting international w88 online casino and development." As the world's largest multilateral international organization, the United Nations carries the expectations of people around the world for multilateral w88 online casino.
Maintaining and practicing multilateralism is inseparable from the w88 online casino between China and countries in the Global South. As President Xi Jinping pointed out, China has always been a member of the Global South and will always belong to the developing countries. China is willing to work with the majority of countries in the Global South to practice true multilateralism, advocate an equal and orderly world multipolarization, universal and inclusive economic globalization, and jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
The United Nations has always been the core carrier of multilateralism
Multilateralism generally refers to a system or concept that advocates the coordinated solution of international problems through three or more countries or other actors, and corresponds to unilateralism, bilateralism, etc.
Multilateralism has multiple functions. First, multilateralism avoids the shortcomings of unilateralism in which big countries rely on their own strength to achieve diplomatic goals. It also avoids the possible power asymmetry between big countries and small and medium-sized countries in bilateralism. Multilateralism provides an institutional platform for small and medium-sized countries to participate in international affairs on an equal footing. Second, multilateral international organizations provide a dialogue platform for countries to resolve disputes and strengthen w88 online casino, reducing transaction costs between countries. Third, through interactions in multilateral international organizations, a series of international rules and norms are established and spread.
Since its establishment 80 years ago, the United Nations has always been the core carrier of multilateralism. Through 15 specialized agencies, the United Nations has built a multilateral w88 online casino network covering political security, economic development, and social and people's livelihood. United Nations peacekeeping forces go deep into the front lines of conflicts and make outstanding contributions to resolving regional conflicts; the World Bank provides loans to developing countries so that these countries can obtain the financial support they need for development; the World Health Organization plays an irreplaceable role in public health undertakings such as the eradication of smallpox and malaria, and the prevention and control of epidemics. If the international community does not form a joint force through the United Nations, the most universal multilateral international organization, it is difficult to imagine that the above problems can be solved. It can be said that multilateralism has been deeply embedded in the operational fabric of international society, and this development trend cannot be changed by any country or individual.
Entering the third decade of the 21st century, the United Nations is facing dual crises. From the perspective of the external environment, the process of economic globalization has encountered countercurrents, and anti-globalization and anti-globalization trends have risen, which has delayed the process of economic globalization. Under this circumstance, regionalization has gradually become the mainstream of international w88 online casino. From within the system, the lack of responsibility on the part of some major powers has led to a decline in governance effectiveness. The frequent "withdrawal" of the United States from international organizations indicates that the impact of unilateralism on multilateral w88 online casino is intensifying. At the same time, some Western countries regard the United Nations as a geopolitical tool and frequently abuse their veto power, causing some mechanisms of the United Nations to malfunction. What is even more alarming is the rise of pseudo-multilateralism, with some countries severing international w88 online casino by building exclusive groups, posing the risk of "camp-based" fragmentation of the global governance system.
China’s multilateral w88 online casino with the Global South is expanding in all directions
Since China resumed its legal seat in the United Nations, it has continuously strengthened w88 online casino with countries in the Global South under the framework of the United Nations. China and countries in the Global South have experienced similar historical experiences and have the same development aspirations. After more than half a century of w88 online casino, a unique w88 online casino paradigm has been formed.
In October 1971, the 26th United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 2758 by an overwhelming majority, restoring the People's Republic of China's lawful seat in the United Nations. Since then, China’s w88 online casino with countries in the Global South has gradually entered an institutionalized track. The Group of 77 is an institutional innovation of countries in the Global South within the framework of the United Nations. China has always supported the just claims and reasonable demands of the Group of 77, and has carried out coordination and w88 online casino with it under the framework of the "G77 and China".
In existing multilateral w88 online casino mechanisms, China is committed to promoting the democratization of international relations, improving global economic governance, increasing the representation and voice of developing countries, and giving all countries the right to participate in rule-making on an equal basis.
Promoted by China’s cooperation with countries in the Global South, the World Bank has increased the proportion of voting rights in developing countries to more than 47%. In the construction of emerging multilateral mechanisms, China and countries in the Global South have jointly created a series of cooperation platforms. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization has expanded from security cooperation to economic, w88 and cultural fields. It currently has 10 member states, 2 observer states, and 15 dialogue partners. From the "BRIC" to the "BRICS" to the "Greater BRICS Cooperation", the BRICS cooperation mechanism has expanded its membership. Since its establishment 10 years ago, the BRICS New Development Bank has approved a total of 120 projects with a total loan amount of approximately US$40 billion. The joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative has attracted the participation of more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has approved more than 300 projects, with total financing exceeding US$60 billion, driving more than US$200 billion in capital investment in infrastructure construction.
These innovations in multilateral w88 online casino mechanisms, in which China and countries from the Global South participate, have broken the dominance of Western powers in existing multilateral international mechanisms and formed a new paradigm of multilateral w88 online casino.
The key to the long-lasting and fruitful w88 online casino between China and countries in the Global South lies in the fact that both parties have formed a series of principles and concepts in practice. The first is to insist on treating each other as equals - which has become the norm for China's interactions with countries in the Global South; the second is to focus on common development - China and the countries in the Global South have common aspirations, and a series of multilateral w88 online casino mechanisms under the United Nations framework provide a platform for the common development of countries in the Global South; the third is to emphasize openness and inclusiveness - "small circles" and "small courtyards and high walls" not only block the world from the outside, but also lead to self-isolation. China advocates true multilateralism, actively participates in global economic governance, is committed to building an open world economy, and promotes inclusive economic globalization. The many multilateral w88 online casino mechanisms established by China and countries in the Global South are not exclusive or targeted. They adhere to the principle of openness and welcome all countries in the world to join.
Working with the Global South to further promote multilateralist w88 online casino
China is a natural member of the Global South and has always represented the common interests of the vast majority of developing countries in the United Nations. Faced with the acceleration of changes over the past century, China is working with countries in the Global South to explore w88 online casino plans that are in line with the common interests of all countries and the development trend of the times, providing new possibilities for further promoting multilateral w88 online casino.
Ideational guidance is the ideological basis for promoting multilateralist w88 online casino. China has proposed the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, based on w88 online casino, breaking through the zero-sum thinking in traditional international relations. This concept is highly consistent with the common development goals pursued by countries in the Global South. Since it was proposed, it has been cited many times in relevant United Nations documents and has gradually become a common value pursuit of the international community. China also advocates true multilateralism, which is based on the equality of status among countries, takes the common interests of people of all countries as the starting point, and uses collective consultation as the prerequisite for reaching a code of conduct. It opposes pseudo-multilateralism such as "small circles" and prevents the connotation of multilateralism from being tampered with. This is consistent with the interests of countries in the global South and is generally welcomed by countries in the global South.
In specific practice, China has proposed four major global initiatives. Since proposing the global development initiative in 2021, China has continued to promote international w88 online casino in areas such as poverty reduction, food security, development financing, climate change and green development. In 2022, China proposed a global security initiative. Under the guidance of this initiative, China and other countries have actively used the role of the United Nations platform to promote security w88 online casino under mechanisms such as the Shanghai w88 online casino Organization, the BRICS w88 online casino Mechanism, and the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia, and build international security exchange and w88 online casino platforms and mechanisms. In 2023, China proposed the Global Civilization Initiative, which takes four "common advocacy" as its core concepts, effectively countering the "theory of superiority of civilizations" and "theory of clash of civilizations", and becoming an action guide to resolve the international trust deficit and improve global civilization governance.
On September 1 this year, China proposed another global governance initiative, emphasizing the pursuit of sovereign equality, abiding by international rule of law, practicing multilateralism, advocating people-oriented, and focusing on action orientation. China will work with countries in the Global South to practice the global governance concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind. Implementing the four major global initiatives and safeguarding the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law have become the consensus for China to carry out multilateral w88 online casino with countries in the Global South.
The practice of the 80 years since the founding of the United Nations has proved that adhering to true multilateralism is the only correct choice to deal with global challenges. China has always firmly believed that true multilateralism cannot be separated from the United Nations, and it must firmly safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core; it cannot be separated from international law, and it must firmly safeguard the international order based on international law; it cannot be separated from the w88 online casino of all countries. Major countries must take the lead in upholding justice, enforcing the rule of law, shouldering responsibilities, and focusing on action.
At present, the rise of the global South has become a clear sign of the changes in the world. China will work with the countries of the global South to jointly advocate an equal and orderly world multipolarization and inclusive economic globalization, and promote the development of the global governance system in a more just and reasonable direction.
