At the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, Lt. Gen. He Lei, former vice president of the PLA Academy of Military Sciences, reminded us that the 80th anniversary of the World Anti-Fascist War 🕊️ is more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a call to protect the post-WWII global order and resist hegemonism and power politics.
So, what’s hegemonism? Think of it as big players trying to call all the shots—sometimes at the expense of smaller nations. He Lei’s message is simple: unity over domination. To tackle complex global challenges, every country needs a seat at the table.
He Lei also highlighted the importance of the PLA taking a more active role in United Nations peacekeeping missions 🌍. In plain terms, he’s saying: ‘We’ve got the people, training, and tech—let’s use them to keep the peace!’ For young pros who care about social impact and tech-driven change, this move signals the Chinese mainland’s push to blend hard power with humanitarian efforts.
Why should you care? From safer digital partnerships to cross-border cultural projects, a stable world order means smoother collaborations and more opportunities for innovation. Whether you’re coding an app or streaming your favorite series, peace and cooperation lay the groundwork for creativity to thrive.
As global dynamics shift, He Lei’s takeaway is clear: learn from history, team up at the UN, and push back against power politics. After all, real influence comes from shared goals, not just muscle 💪.
