January 25, 2021At a time when the Covid-19 pandemic "is not over yet", the way out of the current problems "is a strengthening of multilateralism". This was stated by the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, during the World Economic Forum, which this year is held in virtual form and not physically in Davos. "Global macroeconomic coordination must be strengthened", said Xi Jinping, stressing that "the global recovery remains shaky and the outlook uncertain".



The strengthening of

multilateralism

and, consequently, the global economy according to the Chinese president goes hand in hand with the improvement of policies on global health security.

"The governance of global public health security must be strengthened. No global problem can be solved by one country alone. We must give the World Health Organization a free rein so that it can build a global community for the health of all of us," he said. said Xi Jinping, stressing that the international community should be guided "in accordance with the rules and with the consent of all countries, rather than with one or more countries giving orders".



In addition, the Chinese president emphasized the need to bridge the gap between developed and developing

countries

: "We should favor an environment in which there are equal rights, equal opportunities and equal rules, so that all countries can benefit from opportunities and reap the benefits of development ".



The new cold war

Chinese President Xi Jinping also stressed the "new cold war" which can only lead to "a dead end".

Without ever naming the United States, Xi posed as a defender of multilateralism and globalization, as he already said four years ago, just before Donald Trump came to power.



Less than a week after Joe Biden arrived at the White House, the strongman from Beijing seems to want to warn the latter against a continuation of the anti-Chinese policy of his predecessor who had made China his number one rival, above all. in commercial and technological terms.

The communist regime particularly fears that Biden wants to unite Westerners against China.



"Those who create clans or start a new cold war, those who reject, threaten or intimidate others, those who impose distancing between peoples, or break the procurement chains with sanctions, in order to induce isolation, are only pushing the world to division and even confrontation, "warned Xi Jinping.



On a global level, "we must abandon ideological prejudice" and "walk unitedly on the path of peaceful coexistence, mutual benefit and cooperation, which is a victory for all".

According to Xi Jinping, "history has made it clear that the misleading approach of antagonism and confrontation, be it in the form of a cold war, trade war or technology war, ultimately harms the interests of all countries and undermines the well-being of all" .



Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development

"We must keep the commitments made in the Paris Agreement on climate and promote green development," said Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"We need to prioritize development and sustainability goals and ensure that all countries, especially developed ones, share the fruits of global growth".

China remains committed to meeting the sustainability goals of the 2030 Agenda and "becoming carbon neutral by 2060" and Beijing is ready to "speed up investments" in this sector, Xi added.

"The Earth is our only home. Increase efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainable development to influence the future of humanity", because "if we overcome this crisis we will have to remain united and ensure that multilateralism illuminates our Street". 



Tackling social inequalities

Xi Jinping has appealed to the international community for "the abolition of global inequalities" in the light of a "widening of the differences between the North and the South of the world". "The international community must focus on the long term and provide the necessary support to developing countries ".



No arrogance and supremacy, support for the UN

Xi Jinping has pointed the finger at the "arrogance" and the search for "supremacy" of those countries that do not respect different cultures and societies and that do not respect international law and has asked to defend the centrality of the United Nations.

"There are no two identical people in the world, and each country is unique, with its history, its culture and its social system, no one is superior to the other. Different histories, cultures and social systems are as ancient as human society and are integral part of human civilization. There is no civilization without diversity and it will continue to exist as long as we can imagine. "

The real problem is "arrogance, prejudice and hatred," the attempt to impose itself on another civilization.



"The right choice is coexistence in mutual respect and sharing of diversity".

This is why "it is essential to commit oneself to respect for international rules and norms instead of chasing the supremacy of individuals. According to the ancients, in China, the law is the foundation of governance and international governance should be based on laws agreed by the international community and not on those of some or a few. Without international law the world would once again be a jungle and the consequences would be devastating for humanity ".

For this reason it is essential for Xi to strengthen "support around the United Nations" and to safeguard "the international order".



Breaking down trade barriers

The last year "has been marked by the pandemic, public health faces an enormous threat, the economy has entered recession and humanity has faced unprecedented crises. But we have also seen the courage of people around the world in the fight against coronavirus ".

"The pandemic is far from being resolved and we must continue to fight", but "there is no doubt that we will prevail over the virus and emerge stronger from this crisis".

According to the Chinese president, "every choice we make today will define the future", and for this reason we must "strengthen economic coordination, collectively promoting stronger, more sustainable and balanced growth".



The world is facing the worst recession since the Second World War and this despite the aid packages launched globally, for this reason, the Chinese president said, "in the world the barriers to trade, investment and technological change should be removed. ".

According to Xi Jinping, "it is necessary to maintain the stability of the global supply and demand chain, maintain the stability of the operations of the global financial system, promote structural reforms and expand global demand."

"We have to keep fighting, because winter cannot stop the arrival of spring".

"Humanity will prevail over the virus, and it will emerge even stronger." 



Shaky world

recovery The Chinese president said the global recovery after the coronavirus pandemic is "rather shaky" and "the final outcome is still uncertain".

Xi then stressed the need to "defend fair competition, in a competition for excellence on the court, not as if you were punching yourself in a wrestling area". 



Now great developments and transformations

"We must remain committed to keeping up with the times and not rejecting change. Now is the time for the greatest developments and major transformations."

Xi then underlined the importance of "multilateralism" and the sharing of "the same values", it is necessary to "adapt to changes in the world and respond to global challenges".
