China-proposed four global initiatives: Building cooperation in uncertain times

During the largest-ever Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, held in north China's Tianjin this autumn, China introduced a landmark proposal – the Global Governance Initiative (GGI).

As the fourth landmark global initiative proposed by China in recent years, following the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, the GGI emphasizes universal peace, common development and mutual benefit, highlights balanced and comprehensive cooperation as a matter of shared concern, and promotes peaceful means to address crises and conflicts.

Thematically and dialectically interlinked, the four global initiatives underline China's efforts in reinforcing the concept of a community with a shared future for humanity and reflect Chinese experience and solutions in deeply participating in the global governance system, outlining a comprehensive blueprint for addressing complex yet interrelated challenges facing the world.
