🌍🌟 At the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Chinese premier Li Qiang announced that China will roll out 2,000 “small and beautiful” livelihood projects in developing countries over the next five years. 💪✨
These bite-sized grassroots efforts aim to spark real change—think clean water supplies, skill-building workshops, and community health programs. They’re all about being sustainable, locally driven, and deeply impactful.
China also plans to launch 200 marine development cooperation projects in the same period. 🌊🚤 By supporting small island developing states, these initiatives will boost fisheries, protect shorelines, and promote eco-friendly tourism—powering the blue economy for long-term growth.
What’s more, China has made it clear it won’t seek any new special and differential treatment in current or future World Trade Organization negotiations—signaling a commitment to fair play in global trade. 🤝
For young changemakers across South and Southeast Asia, this is a prime example of how large-scale partnerships can drive sustainable, community-focused solutions. Let’s get inspired! 🚀
