From November 10 to 22, in less than two weeks, President Xi attended 4 multilateral conferences and an international forum via video, and delivered 8 major speeches, keynotes and speeches. The diplomatic agenda was extremely dense.
Special periods and special arrangements carry special expectations and demonstrate special responsibility. The epidemic situation of the century and the turn of the century overlap and intertwine, and the world’s “list of problems” is getting longer and longer. People have never been so eager to ask “what’s going on in the world, what will we do,” and their expectations of the “Voice of China” and the “China Plan” have never been so eager.
“Human society is experiencing the worst infectious disease pandemic in a century” “The world economy is experiencing the worst recession since the Great Depression in the 1930s” “Emerging market and developing countries will experience negative growth for the first time in 60 years “” Asia Pacific region For the first time in decades, there has been negative overall economic growth. “From 88 million to 115 million people will be plunged into extreme poverty due to the epidemic” … How serious is the situation after the new crown epidemic hit the world? President Xi made it very clear.
Facing the new situation and new challenges, how to promote the development of the SCO, how to deepen cooperation between BRICS countries, what is the future path for Asia-Pacific cooperation and what role will the G20 play in the international order and governance global in the post-epidemic era. ? Based on reality and looking to the future, President Xi proposed a series of “Chinese plans” to overcome the crisis, promote development and promote cooperation.
On the night of November 22, President Xi Jinping attended the second phase of the 15th G20 Summit in Beijing by video.

He pointed the way.
At the APEC meeting, President Xi delivered the first comprehensive exhibition of the “Asia-Pacific Destination Community” featuring openness, inclusiveness, innovative growth, interconnectedness, and win-win cooperation. The Chinese Concept and APEC Post-2020 Cooperation Vision “Build an Open, Dynamic, Resilient and Peaceful Environment The core expression of the” Asia-Pacific Community “had a strong resonance.
At the G20 Summit, on the basis of the concept of global governance of broad consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, President Xi further presented the important proposals to adhere to multilateralism, adhere to openness and inclusion, adhere to mutually beneficial cooperation and move with the times. The most comprehensive discussion on economic governance.
Keeping pace with the times, being proactive and aggressive are the distinctive qualities of the diplomacy of the leading countries with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
Since the beginning of this year, faced with endless new challenges and new problems, China’s diplomacy has come up with a series of new proposals. “Unity and cooperation is the most powerful weapon in the fight against the epidemic”, build a health community, build the four “communities” of the OCS and turn the “Belt and Road” into a path of cooperation, health , recovery, growth …… The Chinese concept has been enriched and developed in response to changes in the world and the issues of the time, and has become more deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
The “Moscow Declaration” from this year’s SCO Summit included this passage:
More than two months ago, President Xi emphasized at the UN 75th Anniversary Summit: “In practicing multilateralism, you cannot sit back and speak about the truth. Instead, you must act accordingly. You cannot just prescribe recipes without seeing. the effects”.
This is what China says, and it does. Fighting the epidemic and restoring the economy are two of the highest priorities for all countries. How to cooperate to respond to the crisis test? President Xi presented a series of tangible initiatives and measures.
On March 2, Xi Jinping was in Beijing to inspect scientific research on the prevention and control of a new coronary pneumonia. This is Xi Jinping’s understanding of vaccine and antibody development at the Major Epidemic Drug Prevention and Control Laboratory of the Military Medical Research Institute.
Regarding cooperation against the epidemic, President Xi reiterated: “We will honor our commitments and provide aid and support to other developing countries, and we will strive to make vaccines a public product that is available and affordable for all peoples. “. He also advocated for the BRICS conference. Traditional Medicine Seminar, which explores the role of traditional medicine in the prevention and treatment of new coronary pneumonia.
In terms of restoring the economy and promoting development, the Chinese initiative and the Chinese initiative are equally inspiring:
——China to establish the BRICS New Industrial Revolution Association Innovation Base in Xiamen City, Fujian Province;
-China will actively consider joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement;
-China proposes to establish an international mutual recognition mechanism for health codes based on the results of nucleic acid tests in the form of internationally accepted QR codes, in the hope that more countries will participate;
——China proposes to hold the International Conference on Food Loss Reduction at an appropriate time and welcomes the active participation of G20 members and relevant international organizations;
……
The more difficult and dangerous, the more advanced, the more difficult, the more responsible.
In today’s world, unilateralism and protectionism have intensified and multilateral cooperation has suffered. In the face of headwinds and currents, China not only gains a firm foothold and sticks to its original aspirations, but also responds and confronts difficulties, and actively builds a platform for exchanges and cooperation for countries. of all the world.
This year, China overcame the difficulties and successfully hosted the Canton Fair, the Services Trade Fair and the China International Import Expo. Next year, China’s diplomatic agenda was included in the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Digital Economy Industry Forum of the China-Shanghai Cooperation Organization. , Non-governmental Friendship Forum of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Seminar on Reducing Digital Poverty and a series of activities.
What kind of cooperation and win-win story that China will write with other countries is very exciting.
Multilateral conferences are not only a platform for the international community to debate “everyone’s issues”, but also a platform for each country to explain its own issues.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the XIX Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, held not so long ago, outlined a grand plan for China’s development in the future. The new journey of building a modern socialist country comprehensively, the “XIV Five-Year Plan”, a new development pattern, a higher level of open economy and a new system … How to understand these new coordinates of China’s development and what do they mean to the world? Standing on the global multilateral stage, President Xi gave a thorough and comprehensive explanation.
Regarding the new development pattern, President Xi noted that this is China’s “strategic choice” and emphasized its openness:
“China cannot develop without the world, and the prosperity of the world also needs China.” Speaking of the great opportunities in China’s great market, President Xi spoke with facts and statistics:
What role will China play in the face of major changes in the world never seen before in a century? People got this response from the unusual “Multilateral Diplomacy Month” from the Chinese head of state:
“China will always insist on being a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of international order.”
