The meeting highlighted China's vision for a more equitable global system and its focus on empowering developing nations. 💬
Building Bridges, Not Barriers
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, praised the UN as \"the most representative platform for global solidarity,\\" urging reforms to amplify the voice of the Global South. 🗣️ He emphasized dialogue over conflict and criticized \"zero-sum approaches\" in international relations – a subtle nod to rising geopolitical tensions.
Global South Gains Momentum

He spotlighted China's support for developing nations like his own and reaffirmed the UN's adherence to the one-China principle. The talks also touched on hot-button topics like AI governance and financial system reforms, with Yang calling China an \"indispensable\" player in shaping the future. 🔥
What's Next?
