China Shines as a Beacon of Human Solidarity

摘要

China's commitment and contribution to multilateralism is laudable.IN his Lunar New Year greetings video,United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres took the opportunity on Chinese New Year’s Eve to commend China for its commitment to multilateralism.The global battle against the COVID-19 pandemic,as well as climate change,continues in February 2022,which has also seen heated and ominous disagreements that threaten dire conflict.All present challenges unprecedented in recent history.Amid this turmoil,Guterres declared that the Olympic spirit,as represented by the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics,“shines as a beacon of human solidarity.”Such acknowledgement and words of goodwill from the world’s top diplomat are merited in light of China’s key contributions to multilateralism over decades,most specifically during the last several years.They are evident in three distinctive examples.
