China’s new ‘global governance’: What is it, exactly?

"Beijing’s model focuses on things the West’s “rules-based order” has forgotten – equality, law and common development"

"At a time when Western capitals increasingly seek to drive wedges among developing powers, such encounters highlight the SCO’s capacity to promote reconciliation and strengthen unity. It is becoming a venue not only for multilateral agreements but also for healing divides and fostering trust." 

"The GGI is the latest in a series of initiatives China has advanced since 2021. It joins the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative. Together, these proposals form the intellectual and policy foundation for Xi’s broader concept of building a “community with a shared future for mankind.” The aim is clear: to rally international support for a new, multipolar order that eliminates Western hegemony and safeguards peaceful coexistence."

"Two years on, China's Global Civilization Initiative gains greater relevance in a turbulent world"

"Two years ago, Chinese President Xi Jinping introduced the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI), calling for respect for cultural diversity, the promotion of common human values, the preservation and innovation of civilizations, and stronger international people-to-people exchanges.

In today's world, the initiative has become more relevant than ever amid uncertainty, turbulence, and division.

Facing rising anti-globalization trends, Elias Jabbour, a professor at the State University of Rio de Janeiro's Faculty of Economic Sciences, highlighted the growing significance of GCI. He said China's inclusive approach to diversity sets an example for the world. At a time when some self-proclaimed "civilized" nations are enforcing mass deportations and repatriations, China's emphasis on mutual respect and cultural exchange stands in sharp contrast, the professor said, while commending the GCI for championing the coexistence of diverse civilizations without imposing one nation's values on another."

Xi unveils Global Governance Initiative at SCOEquality among nations, practical cooperation, safeguarding of UN authority urged

"In explaining the initiative, Xi pointed out that the Cold War mentality, hegemony and protectionism continue to haunt the world, and "global governance has come to a new crossroads".

He highlighted five principles for the Global Governance Initiative — adherence to sovereign equality, abiding by international rule of law, practicing true multilateralism, advocating the people-centered approach and focusing on taking real actions.

"We should maintain that all countries, regardless of size, strength and wealth, are equal participants, decision-makers and beneficiaries in global governance," Xi said. "We should promote greater democracy in international relations and increase the representation and voice of developing countries," he said.

He warned against "double standards" and rules imposed by "a few countries", stressing that the United Nations must remain at the core of global governance.

Xi emphasized the need to firmly safeguard the status and authority of the UN and ensure its "irreplaceable, key role" in global governance.

Meanwhile, he made an appeal for the reform and improvement of the global governance system to ensure that the people of every nation are the actors in and beneficiaries of global governance.

The Global Security Initiative: China’s International Policing Activities

"China’s international policing activities are increasing in their number and global distribution. This report identifies these activities and the factors behind their development. It also examines how they help centralise China’s position as a major world power within its reform of global security mechanisms."

"The Chinese government promotes policing partnerships by providing training or joint patrols, or by exporting or donating technology and equipment. From China’s perspective, such agreements and activities aim to help promote its image as a global and responsible security actor; popularise Chinese policing and security norms and standards abroad (thus normalising them internationally); create secure conditions for Chinese overseas investment, nationals and interests; and prove to the Chinese domestic population that the Chinese government can ensure their safety abroad."

"Chinese policing initiatives include agreements to train foreign law-enforcement forces in partner countries as well as in China. More recently, Chinese law-enforcement officers have also conducted joint patrols in partner countries."

Fyodor Lukyanov: Russia and China anchor a new world order where the West is optionalThe SCO summit shows how the world is shifting away from the West

"Beyond the West’s stage By inertia, many still measure importance by whether Western powers are in the room. For decades, world affairs were shaped by East-West confrontation in the Cold War, and then by the unilateral primacy of the US and its allies. Membership of the G7 (at one time G8) was once the crown jewel of global respectability. Even the G20, designed to reflect a more diverse world, remained dominated by Western influence over its agenda. Meetings without the West were seen as parochial or symbolic.

That perception is now outdated. The real turning point came last year – first at BRICS, now at the SCO. Both groupings, very different in composition, are drawing growing interest. Countries are applying to join or at least to participate. Simply appearing at these forums has become prestigious, and the corridor diplomacy surrounding them allows for meetings that are otherwise difficult to arrange.

The shift is not just about Russia. The attempt by Western governments to isolate Moscow after the escalation in Ukraine has backfired. Instead of leaving Russia in the cold, it accelerated the formation of what is now described as the “global majority.” Many states do not want to submit to anyone else’s political logic. They follow their own calculations of interest and expediency.

Russia’s place

Against this backdrop, Russia finds itself not marginalized but central. Western isolation efforts only underscored Moscow’s role as a key pole around which non-Western states can organize. For many, Russia is proof that there are alternatives to Western tutelage.

President Vladimir Putin, addressing the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok just after the SCO summit, emphasized Russia’s two-headed eagle: the country looks both ways. He insisted Russia has not closed the door to the US or the rest of Europe. American businesses, he said, could benefit enormously from joint projects if their government allowed it.

At the same time, Moscow is strengthening ties with China, India, and the wider Global South. The new agreements with Beijing – from energy deals to visa-free travel – are practical steps along this path.

The symbolism matters too. At the SCO summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping launched “global governance initiative” with Putin’s backing. Far from being an anti-Western conspiracy, it reflects the search for a more balanced order."

"The world is messy and the processes chaotic, but the direction is clear. Non-Western states are asserting their right to set agendas, to create institutions, and to act together without waiting for permission. The attempt to quarantine Russia has only sped this up."
