Xi: China committed to peaceful, open, cooperative, common development


- Humankind can no longer afford to ignore the repeated warnings of nature by extracting resources without investing in conservation, pursuing development at the expense of protection and exploiting resources without restoration.
- All countries should pursue innovative, coordinated, green and open development for all, seize the historic opportunities presented by the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, achieve a green recovery of the world economy in the post-COVID era and thus create a powerful force driving sustainable development.
- Countries may engage in competition, but such competition should be positive and healthy in nature. When in competition, countries should not breach moral standards and should comply with international norms.
- In particular, major countries should act like major countries. They should provide more global public goods, take up their due responsibilities and live up to people's expectations.
- We will never seek hegemony, expansion or spheres of influence. We have no intention to fight either a Cold War or a hot war with any country.
- The baton of history has been passed to our generation, and we must make the right choice, a choice worthy of the people's trust and of our times.
