BEIJING: China’s promotion on the reform of the global governance system is trying to make it more reasonable and fairer, not intending to start afresh, and China’s determination to practice true multilateralism, efforts to perfect the global governance, and actions to promote multilateral cooperation, will stay unchanged, a senior official from Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu made the remarks at a press conference on “China in the Past Decade” held by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, in response to some voices that China intends to start afresh to change the international order.
The international order is solely based on the international law, and a few countries cannot make so-called “rules” to alter and affect the order, let alone impose its domestic rules on it, Ma said.
The Chinese diplomacy has participated in global governance with unprecedented depth, width and power under the guidance of diplomatic thinking by the Chinese president, contributing Chinese wisdom, offering a Chinese approach and showing Chinese responsibility, which received widespread praise from the international community, he said. China offers its own view of global governance in major occasions, advocates openness and inclusiveness, and doesn’t engage in isolation and exclusion, Ma said.
