As the G20 Summit kicks off in Rio de Janeiro this week, a CGTN global poll reveals overwhelming support for China’s efforts to amplify the voices of developing nations. Over 80% of respondents see the G20 as a critical platform for tackling global challenges like economic inequality and climate change—issues central to the Global South.
Youth Want Action, Not Just Talk
With 67.1% urging the G20 to prioritize development needs of Global South countries, and 73.4% demanding climate action, the message is clear: young people worldwide want leaders to step up. One user, @Shining237, summed it up: \"China is setting a new bar for the world to follow.\"
China’s Role in Shaping the Future
From championing the African Union’s G20 membership to launching the Belt and Road Initiative with 150+ countries, China is driving what many call a 'development revolution.' Collaborations with the UN on the Global Development Initiative further highlight its push for inclusive growth.
As the summit begins, all eyes are on whether the G20 can turn this momentum into real change. With trust in China’s approach soaring, the Global South might just get the mic it deserves.
