As the world marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, Chinese President Xi Jinping has reaffirmed China's dedication to upholding the international order. Speaking in late July while accepting credentials from 16 new ambassadors to China, Xi emphasized the nation's resolve to collaborate globally in safeguarding the UN-centered international system and rule-based governance.
"China stands ready to work with all countries to firmly defend the international system with the UN at its core and the international order underpinned by international law," Xi stated, framing this commitment as both a historical responsibility and a modern imperative. His remarks align with China's longstanding advocacy for multilateralism amid rising geopolitical tensions.
The speech highlighted Xi's consistent calls to protect the post-war international framework, which he described as "a shared achievement of humanity." Analysts note that this message resonates with China's active role in UN peacekeeping missions and climate diplomacy.
Xi's address also coincided with the 80th anniversary of the United Nations' founding, underscoring Beijing's support for the organization's principles. "Resolutely defending international fairness and justice is not just a choice—it is our duty to future generations," he added, positioning China as a stabilizing force in global governance.
