On October 25, President Xi Jinping attended the commemoration meeting of the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the legitimate seats of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations and delivered an important speech, comprehensively reviewing the extraordinary course that China and the United Nations have traveled together in the past 50 years, and clearly declaring China's proposition of promoting sustainable peaceful development in the world and promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Xi Jinping pointed out that we should resolutely safeguard the authority and status of the United Nations and jointly practice true multilateralism. To promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, we need a strong United Nations and we need to reform and build a global governance system. All countries in the world should uphold the international system with the United Nations at its core, the international order based on international law and the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.

"President Xi Jinping's speech was lofty and pointed out the rationality and inevitability of safeguarding the authority and status of the United Nations." Han Fangming, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, said.

Xi Jinping stressed in his speech that at present, the world's unprecedented major changes in a century are accelerating and evolving, and the forces for peaceful development and progress are constantly growing. We should conform to the general trend of history, adhere to cooperation, not engage in confrontation, persist in opening up and not engaging in closure, adhere to mutual benefit and win-win results, do not engage in zero-sum games, resolutely oppose all forms of hegemonism and power politics, and resolutely oppose all forms of unilateralism and protectionism.

Han Fangming said that Chinese, who account for a quarter of the world's population, should not be absent from the UNITED Nations arena and should not be without a key platform in the international arena. From the "Tanzan Railway" to the "Belt and Road", from South-South cooperation to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, China has never forgotten its original intention, providing assistance to developing countries within its capacity to help each other develop instead of curbing each other's rise. ”

Han Fangming said that China has not only taken the lead in achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals and completed the first centenary goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, but is also striding forward towards the second centenary goal. No matter how China advances on the road to prosperity and strength, it will not engage in arrogance and prejudice, bullying and containment. The false arguments of the "China threat theory" and the "China arrogance theory" will eventually prove to be a lie, "the past was untenable, the present is untenable, and it will remain untenable in the future." ”

In his speech, President Xi Jinping also stressed that the Communist Party of China is willing to continue to work with political parties and political organizations in various countries to stand on the right side of history and the side of human progress, and make new and greater contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind and building a better world.

In Han Fangming's view, standing on the right side of history and standing on the side of human progress, the main purpose of the moment is to build a community with a shared future for mankind. This requires more support for the mechanisms of the United Nations, reforming and building the global governance system, singing the main theme of peace and development, promoting the mechanism of a community with a shared future for mankind to penetrate the hearts of the people, enhancing the development capacity of the people of all countries in cooperation and sharing, forming a development environment in which everyone participates and enjoys everyone, and creating a development situation in which the fruits of development are more and more equitable and benefit everyone in every country.

"50 years of wind and rain, 50 years of singing and forging ahead. The world will continue to develop peacefully, and many difficulties must be overcome. We always firmly believe that standing on the right side of history and on the side of human progress, we have the bright moon shining on the river. Han Fangming said.
