Global Governance Initiative

Chinese Perspectives

• The GGI provides not only theoretical guidance for China's major-country diplomacy with its own characteristics, but also a Chinese approach to reducing the global governance deficit. Liu Qing, vice president and senior research fellow of China Institute of International Studies
• True global governance is not governance by the U.S. or the West, but by all countries, especially the Global South, which accounts for 80 percent of the world's population, acting collectively according to the UN Charter and other recognized international relations principles to address global challenges. Wang Yiwei, a professor of diplomacy at the School of International Relations, Renmin University of China

• Chinese modernization: A contribution to the human civilization Amid the great changes unseen in a century, Chinese modernization will continue to expand win-win international cooperation and provide new pathways for the progress of all of human civilization.
• Global Governance Initiative offers guidance for a more just, equitable world As global challenges multiply and divisions deepen, the need for more effective global governance has become increasingly urgent. The China-proposed Global Governance Initiative (GGI) responds to the shared aspirations to improve global governance, thus offering a vision for building a more just and equitable world.
• Drawing from the past for the future As scholars from different countries convene in Greece, they will walk where Plato taught and Aristotle spoke. But their deeper task is to make it clear that ancient wisdom can still guide modern action. As we look to the future, the lessons of the past can continue to illuminate the path to a more harmonious and interconnected global community.
