In a fiery UN speech, China’s deputy envoy Geng Shuang called for a worldwide reckoning with colonial-era thinking, comparing it to an outdated app slowing down global progress. 📱💥 "Colonial mentality is like malware in our collective system," he argued during a UN General Assembly committee debate.
Decoding the Decolonization Drive
Geng spotlighted China’s new Global Governance Initiative – think of it as a software update for international relations 💻 – pushing for fairer power distribution among nations. He reminded listeners that 65 years after the UN’s landmark anti-colonial declaration, invisible "mindset occupation" still lingers in politics, economics, and culture.
Malvinas Mention & Modern Solutions
The envoy specifically flagged the Malvinas Islands (known as Falklands in some contexts) as unfinished colonial business. China’s playbook? Peace talks guided by UN principles, not gunboat diplomacy. 🔄⚖️
Bonus move: Beijing is rallying support for Venezuela’s proposed "International Day Against Colonialism" resolution – basically a global #DecolonizeThis hashtag day. 📅🌐
