Global turbulence got you feeling 🤯? You’re not alone. On Monday at the latest UN meeting, China stepped up to remind everyone why the United Nations Charter still matters.
Speaking in New York, Deputy Permanent Representative Geng Shuang called for defending a UN-centered system built on sovereign equality, international law and multilateral cooperation. In simple terms: every nation—big or small—deserves a seat at the table and a fair say in how we tackle global challenges like climate change, conflicts and economic gaps.
At the heart of today’s talk is China’s Global Governance Initiative: a plan that pushes for people-first development, rule of law and teamwork across borders. Think of it as updating the world’s playbook to fit our digital-age, fast-paced lives—where results, not red tape, should drive action.
Geng also slammed the frequent use of force and unilateral sanctions, urging us to solve disputes peacefully. He pointed to China’s role in founding the International Mediation Institute—launched in Hong Kong in October—which is the world’s first intergovernmental body dedicated to settling conflicts through mediation, not missiles.
In a nutshell, China is inviting all nations and organizations to join hands under the UN Charter, back multilateralism and work toward a shared future for humanity. After all, global peace isn’t just a lofty slogan—it’s the foundation for innovation, growth and a better life for everyone. ✌️
