China Lights the Way at UNGA
At this year’s UN General Assembly—marking the 80th anniversaries of the UN's founding and WWII's end—Premier Li Qiang delivered a standout message: it’s time to reignite the original spirit of "a world free of war" and resist the pull of unilateralism and bloc politics.
He reminded everyone that the UN was founded to help nations escape the "law of the jungle" and has powered decades of global peace and progress. But today, rising protectionism and a Cold War mindset threaten that legacy.
China’s track record speaks for itself: topping the charts in UN peacekeeper contributions among the permanent Security Council members, brokering the Saudi–Iran diplomatic comeback, and backing peace talks in global hotspots. 🌐✌️
Then came the big reveal—four pillars of China’s roadmap for our shared future:
✅ Global Development Initiative: Bridging digital divides, from affordable 5G rollouts in Jakarta to startup hubs in Bangalore.
✅ Global Security Initiative: Choosing dialogue over confrontation—think video call collabs rather than power plays.
✅ Global Civilization Initiative: Celebrating cultural exchanges, like epic K-pop x Bollywood music projects.
✅ Global Governance Initiative: Upgrading how we make global decisions—imagine open-source code for world affairs.
For young pros hustling from Dhaka to Manila, these ideas offer a fresh playbook for collaboration over conflict. China’s message at the UNGA injects new energy into the global convo on unity and progress. 🚀
