Global governance is a common cause concerning the well-being of humanity, and building a just and equitable global governance system is a shared vision pursued by people of all countries.
On June 17, the Chinese government released the white paper "Building a More Just and Equitable Global Governance System: China's Vision, Initiatives, and Actions," highlighting China's role as a major country in shouldering responsibility for the future of humanity and promoting a more just and equitable global governance system amid the accelerating changes unseen in a century and the increasingly complex and intertwined international situation.
Leading the Times, the Global Governance Initiative Has Received Broad and Positive Responses from the International Community
The world today faces severe and complex crises and challenges, calling for more effective governance. In September 2025, President Xi Jinping solemnly proposed the Global Governance Initiative, offering a Chinese solution to the epochal question of "what kind of global governance system to build and how to reform and improve global governance."
Wang Yi, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on June 17 that the Global Governance Initiative is another important international public good contributed by President Xi Jinping to the world, following the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative. It responds to the common needs of all countries to improve global governance, expands the practical path for building a community with a shared future for mankind, and opens up a new realm of international political civilization.
Following the trend of the times and leading the direction of change, the Global Governance Initiative has received broad and positive responses from the international community since its inception. To date, it has been welcomed and supported by nearly 160 countries and international organizations, with over 60 countries actively joining the "Group of Friends for Global Governance." At the meeting of the "Group of Friends for Global Governance" held at the end of May, China proposed nine directions for reforming and improving global governance, which received positive responses from the UN Secretariat and all parties at the time.
"The Global Governance Initiative has transformed from a Chinese proposal into international practice, increasingly demonstrating its strong vitality," Wang Yi pointed out.
The white paper emphasizes that the reason China's vision and actions increasingly resonate with and receive responses from the international community lies in its ability to grasp the times while leading them, take root in China while benefiting the world, and address the present while opening up the future, contributing wisdom and strength to the progress of human civilization.
Acting with Responsibility, Translating the Proposals of the Global Governance Initiative into the Broadest Consensus and Most Powerful Actions
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and the largest developing country, China has always been an active participant, contributor, and builder of global governance.
Participating in 29 UN peacekeeping operations, promoting the first joint statement by the leaders of the five nuclear-weapon states on preventing nuclear war; advancing the Belt and Road Initiative, implementing zero-tariff policies for Africa and the least developed countries with diplomatic ties; promoting the historic expansion of BRICS, supporting the African Union's accession to the G20; proposing the establishment of the International Organization for Mediation, initiating the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations...
Wang Yi pointed out that China takes the lead in practicing true multilateralism, unswervingly acting as a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, a defender of the international order, and a provider of public goods, continuously making efforts to reform and improve global governance.
"Advocating a people-centered approach" is one of the core concepts of the Global Governance Initiative. Zhao Fengtao, Deputy Director of the China International Development Cooperation Agency, introduced that China is committed to improving the global poverty reduction governance system, listing poverty reduction as the top priority among the eight key areas of the Global Development Initiative; establishing the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund and increasing its capital to US$4 billion, with over 200 projects implemented in more than 70 countries benefiting over 40 million people; during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China implemented over 7,000 foreign aid training programs, cultivating 230,000 person-times of various governance talents and technical personnel.
Artificial Intelligence governance concerns the fate of all humanity. China took the lead in releasing the "Global AI Governance Initiative"; promoted the UN General Assembly to adopt a resolution on strengthening international cooperation on AI capacity building; hosted the World Artificial Intelligence Conference for eight consecutive years; proposed the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization... Zhou Haibing, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced that China adheres to the principles of multilateralism, openness, and inclusiveness, actively promoting global AI governance and international cooperation.
The white paper states that in the face of endless global challenges, the global governance system must keep pace with the times, finding solutions to old problems and filling rule gaps in new areas. China demonstrates the responsibility of a major country by integrating knowledge and action, actively creating international public goods, and contributing new solutions for global governance.
Pooling Efforts, Handing Over a More Peaceful, Prosperous, and Beautiful World to Future Generations
The Global Governance Initiative pursues the common well-being of the international community and relies on the joint efforts of the international community.
Deepening and solidifying the Global Governance Initiative requires the assumption of responsibilities by major countries, the functioning of multilateral mechanisms, and, most importantly, the practical actions of the international community. Wang Yi stated that this year, China will focus on four aspects: revitalizing open regionalism, strengthening governance in emerging fields, enhancing governance platform construction, and consolidating consensus on global governance.
Hosting the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting to promote the building of an Asia-Pacific community; innovating governance mechanisms with the international community in new areas such as AI and green low-carbon transformation; holding the first "Xiong'an Global Governance Forum" in the autumn of this year... Demonstrating vision and responsibility, pooling powerful forces, the grand blueprint of the Global Governance Initiative is continuously being transformed into roadmaps, construction plans, and real-world scenarios.
In international affairs, listening to the voices of the Global South, expanding the presence of the Global South, and safeguarding the rights and interests of Global South countries are integral to building a more just and equitable global governance system. Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Miao Deyu stated that it is necessary to support the unity and self-reliance of the Global South, prioritize increasing the weight of Global South countries in international affairs, promote North-South dialogue, and address the "North-South imbalance" in global governance. China will always uphold the principle of sincerity, real results, amity, and good faith, continuing to unite and cooperate closely with other developing countries.
Civilizational exchanges serve as bridges and bonds for building consensus and enhancing mutual trust, which are crucial for constructing a more just and equitable global governance system. Over three years since the Global Civilization Initiative was proposed, exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations have transformed from an "optional action" to a "mandatory action" in international cooperation. Jin Xin, Vice Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, said that China will focus on promoting the coordinated implementation of the Global Governance Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, drawing wisdom from civilizational dialogues to address global challenges, and promoting "global good governance" through "civilizational harmony."
The trend of the world either flourishes or declines; governance either advances or retreats. The baton of history is in our hands, and the question of "where global governance is headed" is before us. Our generation must provide answers worthy of the times. Looking ahead, China will walk side by side with all parties, transcend estrangement and conflict with broad-mindedness, care for the fate of humanity with profound compassion, work together to build a common home, and steadily march toward the grand goal of a community with a shared future for mankind.
