Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng delivered a bold message at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos this week, urging nations to reject unilateralism and prioritize cooperation over competition. 🌐 His speech, which threw shade at protectionist policies, emphasized that 'the world cannot revert to the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.'
🔥 Addressing global leaders, He criticized 'some countries'—a likely nod to recent U.S. trade demands—for undermining WTO rules through self-serving agreements. 'All nations have the right to protect their interests,' he declared, sparking applause from delegates.
🗣️ The remarks come amid heightened tensions as former U.S. President Donald Trump continues advocating his 'America First' agenda, including renewed calls for Greenland's acquisition. Analysts say He's speech reflects China's growing role as a defender of multilateral systems in 2026's volatile economic landscape.
