Chinese officials reiterated that the current global order, built around the UN and international law, reflects broad international consensus and should be strengthened rather than dismantled.
The proposal for a “Board of Peace” has been widely viewed as vague and lacking international legitimacy, raising concerns about unilateralism and the erosion of established multilateral institutions.
China’s stance signals resistance to efforts that could weaken collective decision-making or shift global governance toward smaller, power-driven groupings.
At a time marked by geopolitical rivalry, regional conflicts, and diverging visions for global leadership, Beijing’s position serves as a clear reaffirmation of the UN framework.
China pledged to continue working with other nations to safeguard the international system, promote dialogue, and uphold multilateral cooperation.
