Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the first phase of the 15th G20 Summit in Beijing on the evening of the 21st and delivered a speech entitled "Working Hard to Fight the Epidemic and Create the Future Together" An important speech emphasized that the G20 should follow the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, adhere to multilateralism, openness, inclusiveness, mutually beneficial cooperation, advance with the times, and play a greater leading role in international order and global governance in the post-epidemic era.
China is willing to work with other countries to respect each other, equality and mutual benefit, peaceful coexistence and common development, and jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Xi Jinping pointed out that in the face of the most serious pandemic of infectious diseases that mankind is experiencing in a century, the G20 has acted quickly to lead the direction of global anti-epidemic cooperation and economic recovery.
At present, the epidemic is still spreading, the international pattern is evolving rapidly, unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise, and the global industrial chain and supply chain are under impact.
I suggest that the G20 should make further efforts in the following aspects.
First, build a global anti-epidemic firewall.
First of all, we must do a good job in the prevention and control of the respective epidemics, strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and provide assistance to other countries.
Support the World Health Organization to coordinate and integrate resources to distribute vaccines fairly and effectively.
China is willing to strengthen cooperation with other countries and strive to make vaccines a public product that people in all countries can use and can afford.
Second, unblock the world economic operation context.
On the premise of preventing and controlling the epidemic, we must restore the safe and smooth operation of the global industrial chain and supply chain, discuss the liberalization of trade in important medical supplies, and facilitate the orderly exchange of personnel.
It is hoped that more countries will participate in the international mutual recognition mechanism of health codes proposed by China.
Support the G20 to continue to carry out institutionalized cooperation on facilitating personnel exchanges and goods circulation, and build a global cooperation network.
Third, give play to the driving role of the digital economy.

First, strengthen the international system with the United Nations at its core.
We should firmly maintain the authority and status of the UN, abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and maintain an international order based on international law.
Support the United Nations to more effectively build global consensus, mobilize global resources, coordinate global actions, and play a greater role.
Second, improve the governance structure of economic globalization.
We must firmly safeguard the multilateral trading system, promote free trade, oppose unilateralism and protectionism, and maintain fair competition.
Continue to reform the international financial system, build a global financial safety net, and increase the representation and voice of developing countries.
Third, promote the healthy development of the digital economy.

China has proposed the "Global Data Security Initiative" and is willing to discuss and formulate global digital governance rules with all parties.
China proposes to hold a conference on artificial intelligence at an appropriate time to promote the implementation of the G20 artificial intelligence principles and lead the healthy development of global artificial intelligence.

This will bring more opportunities to countries.

China is willing to work with all countries to coexist peacefully and develop together on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, bridge differences through dialogue, resolve disputes through negotiation, and make joint efforts for world peace and development.
Xi Jinping finally emphasized, "Thousands of sails pass by the sunken boat, and thousands of woods spring in front of the diseased tree." The world in the post-epidemic era will surely be like a phoenix and be reborn.
Let us work together to create a better and happier life and jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
