On June 17, China released the white paper titled "More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China's Principles, Proposals and Actions," stressing that "China champions the building of a community with a shared future for humanity and takes the lead in practicing true multilateralism." Against a backdrop of growing global uncertainty, Wang Wen, dean of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, who has visited a UN peacekeeping camp in South Sudan, argues that the expansion of BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is not about confrontation. Rather, it provides smaller nations with opportunities to engage internationally without being forced to choose sides. According to Wang, this is multilateralism in action.
