Always adhere to fairness and justice, defend sovereignty and security, emphasize that on the new journey, we must dare to struggle, have the courage to overcome all risks and challenges, and send out a strong voice of the times of independence, anti-interference, and anti-hegemony.

In view of the Cold War mentality of alliance confrontation and zero-sum game, it advocates no imaginary enemy, not targeting third parties, and developing partnerships with the concept of win-win rather than zero-sum. Aiming at a small number of countries that harm the security of other countries and seek absolute security, we advocate common security and universal security, and create a security pattern of fairness and justice, joint construction and sharing. In view of the countercurrent of protectionism and anti-globalization, we will guide economic globalization to develop in the direction of openness, inclusiveness, inclusiveness, balance and win-win results, and jointly build an open world economy. In view of the two major challenges of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and climate change, we advocate the construction of a community of human health and a community of human and natural life to make up for the global governance deficit. This series of theoretical innovations stands at the forefront of the development of the times, represents the majority of the international community, breaks the monopoly of Western countries on the right to speak about international rule-making, and brings new opportunities for the progress of international political civilization.
