"President Xi's speech is of landmark significance for promoting international cooperation. He showed us how China and the world can move towards a better future in the coming years. This is the assessment of Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum ( also known as the "Davos Forum").
On the 17th, Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the 2022 World Economic Forum video conference in Beijing and delivered a speech. At the first multilateral diplomatic event in the new year, President Xi Jinping put forward a four-point initiative and announced three actions to deal with the current outstanding global challenges from the perspective of the historical trend, clearly demonstrating to the world China's determination and efforts to promote global cooperation.
This is the third time that President Xi jinping has spoken out about China at the Davos Forum. Previously, in 2017 and 2021, President Xi Jinping focused on China's propositions and Chinese solutions on correctly viewing economic globalization and adhering to true multilateralism, and a series of wonderful expositions are still fresh in people's minds.
At present, the changes of the times and the epidemic of the century are superimposed on each other, and the world has entered a new period of turbulent change. How to defeat the epidemic? How to build the post-pandemic world? The world is thinking about it. At this forum, President Xi Jinping shared the valuable enlightenment gained from history Chinese, calling for "advancing in the logic of historical progress and developing in the tide of the development of the times", showing the long-term vision and historical responsibility of a leader of a major country.
"Work together to defeat the epidemic", "defuse various risks and promote the stable recovery of the world economy", "cross the development gap and revitalize the global development cause", "abandon the Cold War mentality, achieve peaceful coexistence, mutual benefit and win-win results" - President Xi Jinping's four-point initiative this time is not only from the summary of historical experience, but also has a strong practical pertinence, pointing out the direction for the international community to get rid of the current predicament.
Taking the fight against the epidemic as an example, countries are still plagued by repeated epidemics and virus mutations. Xi Jinping pointed out that strengthening confidence and working together is the only correct way to defeat the epidemic; all countries in the world should strengthen international anti-epidemic cooperation, accelerate the construction of a community of human health, ensure the fair distribution of vaccines, and bridge the international "immunization gap".
China has attitudes and actions. Unlike some Western countries that pursue vaccine nationalism, China has provided more than 2 billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations, and announced hundreds of millions more doses of vaccine assistance to African and ASEAN countries. Herman Laurel, founder of the BRICS Policy Research Association in the Philippines, pointed out that China took the lead in announcing the new crown vaccine as a global public good to help these countries jointly cope with the challenges of the epidemic, indicating that China is committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind and creating a better future.
Over the past year, the world economy has recovered amid difficulties, but the outlook remains highly uncertain. The World Bank recently cut the global economic growth rate to 4.1% in 2022. In this speech, President Xi Jinping once again stressed the need to adhere to the direction of economic globalization and adhere to true multilateralism, called on all parties to promote the reform of the global governance system and strengthen macroeconomic policy coordination, and expressed his willingness to work with all parties to promote the implementation of global development initiatives and strive not to leave any country behind. In the view of Abdullah Wadiy, a researcher at the Research and Knowledge Exchange Center of the Saudi Arabian think tank, President Xi Jinping's proposal to adhere to true multilateralism and promote the construction of an open world economy represents the direction and trend of world development.
In response to some forces provoking confrontation and confrontation in the world, Xi Jinping stressed that no one can protect protectionism and unilateralism, and in the end it will only harm others and harm themselves; different countries and civilizations should develop together in mutual respect and win-win cooperation while seeking common ground while reserving differences. Stephen Perry, chairman of the 48 Group Club in the United Kingdom, said that President Xi Jinping expounded China's position of opposing hegemony and bullying and advocating win-win cooperation, which won the approval of all parties.
The outside world noted that on the same day of President Xi's speech, the "report card" of China's economy in 2021 was released - the total economic volume reached 114.4 trillion yuan, and the contribution rate to world economic growth is expected to reach about 25%. Unswervingly promoting high-quality development, unswervingly promoting reform and opening up, and unswervingly promoting the construction of ecological civilization – This declaration by President Xi jinping in his speech will enable China to continue to lead world economic growth and become the "anchor of stability" for world development.
"Countries are not in more than 190 small boats, but in a big boat with a shared destiny." In the face of the question of "what is wrong with the world, what should we do", the voice of China has resonated at the Davos Forum for three times in the past five years, condensing a powerful force to overcome difficulties and challenges.
In another ten days, China will usher in the Lunar Year of the Tiger. Standing at a new starting point, China's power will help the world to be mighty, bravely overcome all kinds of dangers and obstacles on the way forward, and move towards the future together!
