Beijing, 1 Nov (China News Service) -- International public opinion has paid close attention to Chinese President Xi Jinping's speech at the 16th G20 Summit, holding that when the world is facing difficulties, the Chinese plan of "acting in unity and creating a better future" has injected powerful forces into human development and progress.

Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao is concerned about China's proposal to "treat all vaccines fairly and promote mutual recognition of vaccines based on the WHO list of emergency use of vaccines". The report details The international vaccine cooperation promoted by China: China has provided more than 1.6 billion doses of vaccines to more than 100 countries and international organizations, and will provide more than 2 billion doses to the outside world throughout the year. China is co-producing vaccines with 16 countries and launching the Belt and Road Vaccine Partnership Initiative with 30 countries.

China stressed the "principle of common but differentiated responsibilities" and urged developed countries to fully accommodate the special difficulties and concerns of developing countries and provide support to the latter in terms of technology and capacity-building. In addition, the report also introduced that China advocates actively creating an open, fair, just and non-discriminatory digital development environment, has decided to apply for membership in the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement, and is willing to work with all parties to promote the healthy and orderly development of the digital economy.

The report also highlights Xi Jinping's three-point proposal for the international community to work together to address climate change and energy issues.

Reuters also focused on China's international vaccine cooperation achievements and recommendations to promote mutual recognition of vaccines. The report quoted President Xi Jinping as saying that "China is willing to work with all parties to improve the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in developing countries and make positive contributions to building a global vaccine defense line." The report also interpreted the content of Xi Jinping's speech, supporting the World Trade Organization to make an early decision on the exemption of vaccine intellectual property rights, and encouraging vaccine companies to transfer technology to developing countries.

Reuters noted that Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech that macroeconomic policy coordination should be strengthened to maintain policy continuity, stability and sustainability. Major economies should adopt responsible macroeconomic policies... Avoid negative spillovers on developing countries and maintain the sound operation of the international economic and financial system. Reuters also introduced China's planning goals for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

Italian media "Farodi Roma" believes that Xi Jinping's concept that "the international community should work together to respond to and defeat the epidemic in a scientific manner, and engage in virus stigmatization and traceability is contrary to the spirit of solidarity against the epidemic" actually represents the idea that in the face of the world's problems of unilateralism, protectionism and the new crown pneumonia epidemic, multilateralism is the best solution to these problems, and in many cases, it may even be the only solution.

India's Asia International News Agency, South China Morning Post and other media focused on China's decision to apply for membership in the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement, striving to create an open, fair, just and non-discriminatory digital development environment. India's Asia International News Agency, Agence France-Presse, The Guardian and other international media have also paid great attention to Xi Jinping's proposals for mutual recognition of COVID-19 vaccines.
