"75 years ago, China made historic contributions to winning the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and supported the establishment of the United Nations. Today, upholding the same spirit of responsibility, China actively participates in international anti-epidemic cooperation and contributes China's strength to safeguarding global public health security." On September 22, 2020, President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly, and has consistently solemnly promised China's responsibility and responsibility to the world in crisis.
China's responsibility and responsibility as a great power is the oath and struggle of the Communist Party of China to seek harmony for the world and contribute to mankind. This promise has long been written in the documents at the beginning of the founding of the Communist Party of China, on the Tiananmen Gate Tower in Beijing - Long live the great unity of the people of the world, and is also integrated into the fifty years since China's return to the United Nations.
Remember the past and the years are thick. The Communist Party of China is leading China, which has entered a new era, to provide the world with a continuous stream of Chinese wisdom, solutions and contributions on the UN stage.
Five-star red flags are raised in the United Nations in front of the United Nations headquarters building in New York, USA, with a long row of flags flying the flags of all Member States. Almost every person from all countries who visit for the first time will carefully search for the national flag of their own country. The reporter is no exception. Stopped under the bright five-star red flag, and he naturally felt pride for the motherland. The Atlantic Ocean breeze blew the national flag, as if telling the passionate past of China's return to the United Nations.
China is the first country to sign the UN Charter, but the People's Republic led by the Communist Party of China has waited for 22 years from its establishment to its restoration of the legal seat of the UN.
This is on May 23, 2016, in the village of Sinia in southern Lebanon, soldiers of Chinese peacekeeping troops went to Lebanon held the Chinese flag, the United Nations flag and the Lebanese national flag to participate in the rotation and handover ceremony of the 15th and 14th peacekeeping troops from China to Lebanon.

"The Chinese people have stood up from now on!" On October 1, 1949, the moment Chairman Mao Zedong personally pressed the button to raise the five-star red flag, the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China is the only legal government representing the entire Chinese people and should enjoy its inherent status and all other rights in the United Nations. However, under the manipulation of the United States, China's seat in the United Nations has been illegally stolen by Chiang Kai-shek's group for a long time.
Who represents China? Is it the new China supported by the people, or the reactionary government overthrew by the people? The answer is obvious. On September 19, 1950, Wu Xiuquan, a representative of the New China, was invited to accuse the United States of armed invasion of Taiwan, China's territory at the UN Security Council. During this period, he sarcastically said to the representative of the Chiang Kai-shek group who spoke in English: "I suspect that the person who spoke is not a Chinese, because he can't speak the language of the great 475 million Chinese people." A glimpse of it shows that the New China is completely an independent country, which is completely different from the Chiang Kai-shek group who only follows the American leader. The representative of the New China made a sensation in the world with reasonable and well-founded speeches and confident and upbeat attitude. Mao Zedong once said with a smile: "Wu Xiuquan has gone to the Heavenly Palace."
Since 1961, the United Nations General Assembly has voted to restore China's legal seat in the United Nations every year to increase. In July 1971, representatives of Albania and 17 other countries to the United Nations wrote a letter to UN Secretary-General Wu Dan, demanding that the proposal to "restore the legitimate seat of the People's Republic of China" be included in the agenda of the General Assembly. In the "Interpretive Memorandum" attached to the letter, "any major international issue cannot be solved without the participation of the People's Republic of China." This sentence concisely shows that the international community fully recognizes the important position of the People's Republic of China. Where does this "important position" come from? The great victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea made the world know that "the Chinese people have organized themselves and cannot be provoked.If it is overwhelmed, it will be difficult to deal with", which has established the important international status of the New China; the five principles of peaceful coexistence are visible, feasible and follow-up connotations given by the UN Charter and principles, and have become the basic norms of international relations and the basic principles of international law; the successful development of "two bombs and one satellite" has shattered the "nuclear blackmail" of superpowers, and profoundly affected the evolution of the international strategic pattern... The votes for approval were not fallen from the sky, but won by the New China with its ever-increasing strength and influence.

The participation of the People's Republic of China in international governance was already unstoppable, and history opened a new page. Shi Yanhua, 32, was working in the translation room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the time. "I remember it was the afternoon of October 26, Beijing time. My colleagues and I carefully translated the telegram sent by Wu Dan, then Secretary-General of the United Nations and reported it. "The content of this telegram is to inform China that the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 2758 to restore all rights in the United Nations and invited China to send a delegation to the 26th United Nations General Assembly.
On November 1, 1971, a brand new five-star red flag slowly rose at the UN headquarters in the morning sun. This largest international stage ushered in the new China. Over the past 50 years, China's mission on the world stage has been consistent, and Solemnly recorded in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "Always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order."
China's vote will always belong to developing countries
In September 2015, Chinese President Xi Jinping said in attending the general debate of the UN General Assembly and delivering a speech: "China's vote in the UN will always belong to developing countries. "
Among the votes in favor of restoring China's legal seat in the United Nations, the votes from Africa account for one-third. "African brothers have carried us into the United Nations and if we don't go, we will be separated from the masses. "When I received the news, Mao Zedong was very happy and decided to form a delegation to attend the United Nations General Assembly that year.
The word "lift" vividly depicts the deep friendship between China and the vast number of developing countries. According to Western media reports at that time, when the vote counting result was locked on the electronic screen, the venue was boiling. The representatives who supported the New China applauded and celebrated for a long time, especially the representatives of African countries, who even danced in their seats and in the aisles. Some even used the tabletop as drums to beat the cheerful African drum beats.
This friendship contains the monument of China-Africa friendship condensed by sweat and blood - the Tanzania-Zamba Railway, the friendship bridge built by a kind heart - the Chinese medical team to support the just struggle of oppressed people and oppressed nations... "There are many helps when you get the right, but few help when you lose the right. The socialist new China has been recognized by the international community, especially the vast majority of developing countries. "Zhang Dan, Vice President and Director-General of the United Nations Association of China, believes that this is a milestone in the history of our party's diplomacy and a milestone in the history of the United Nations. "The only five permanent members of the Security Council are China, China, and it is the largest developing country in the world. China's return to the United Nations is a popular expectation for the vast number of developing countries, and has greatly strengthened the influence of developing countries in the international governance system. ”
On the eve of the delegation’s departure, Mao Zedong gave important instructions on my first speech at the United Nations General Assembly, “We must talk about our opposition to imperialist war policies and aggression policies, opposing the hegemony of superpowers, and publicizing the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, and all countries of all sizes are equal. China belongs to the Third World and will never be a superpower. "
For fifty years, China has always firmly stood with developing countries in the United Nations. "China firmly supports the process of decolonization, supports the national liberation movement in Asia, Africa and Latin America, opposes the war of aggression, and speaks for the sake of weak countries."Jia Lieying, Dean of the School of International Relations of Beijing Language and Culture University and Director of the United Nations Research Center, gave an example. Since China resumed its legal seat, it has voted 16 vetos in the Security Council, 8 of which were involved in the Syrian issue and the situation in Venezuela since 2013, indicating that China insists on political resolution of regional conflicts and opposes forcibly changing the regimes of other countries.
On May 18, 2020, in his speech at the opening ceremony of the 73rd World Health Assembly video conference, President Xi Jinping particularly emphasized the need to increase support for African countries. "The public health system of developing countries, especially African countries, is weak, and helping them build a solid line of defense is the top priority of the international fight against the epidemic. We should provide more material, technical and human support to African countries. "At the request of the WHO, the Chinese government has recently decided to provide 10 million doses of domestic vaccines to the "New Coronavirus Vaccine Implementation Plan" to meet the urgent needs of developing countries.

The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind illuminates the way forward
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Determining the international order based on international law, firmly safeguarding the core role of the United Nations in international affairs, actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, and continuously promote the development of the global governance system in a more just and reasonable direction.
Finding and building a fair and reasonable global governance system can be said to have been engraved in the genes of the Communist Party of China. The May Fourth Movement that broke out on May 4, 1919 marked the beginning of China's new democratic revolution and also for the establishment of the Communist Party of China Ideologically prepared cadres, and the fuse of the May Fourth Movement was the failure of China's diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference. The beautiful ideal of "fairness over power" was easily exposed by the great powers. The early Chinese Marxists deeply realized that to change this world where the strong prey on the weak, a fair and reasonable world order must be established.
Three years after returning to the United Nations, in April 1974, Deng Xiaoping explained at a special meeting on raw materials and development held by the United Nations General Assembly, It describes the necessity of reforming the old unequal international economic order and its proposition to support the establishment of a new international economic order. After the reform and opening up, China started the process of fully participating in the various UN agencies, joined the UN conventions, and gradually expanded its participation in international multilateral mechanisms.
"The United Nations has formulated two important milestone documents in this century, one is the Paris Agreement and the other is the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. China has played a leading role in the formulation of both documents. "Zhang Dan said that from the holding of the United Nations World Women's Conference in Beijing in 1995, to the successful holding of the APEC Leaders' Informal Meeting, the G20 Summit, the Belt and Road International Cooperation Summit Forum, the SCO Qingdao Summit, the BRICS Leaders' Xiamen Meeting, etc., China's philosophy and China's solution are becoming more and more popular.
The world pattern is accelerating. In the face of major changes unseen in a century, what kind of United Nations does the world need?
On January 18, 2017, President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech systematically elaborating on the important concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind at the UN headquarters in Geneva, and more than 30 applauses were heard in 47 minutes. "The community with a shared future for mankind stands at the height of mankind, integrating peace, security, development, civilization and ecology. It is a declaration of globalism and is highly consistent with the declaration in the Charter of the United Nations. "Jia Lieying introduced that on February 10, 2017, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind was written into the UN resolution for the first time at the meeting of the UN Social Development Committee. Subsequently, it was written into the resolution by the Security Council, the Human Rights Council, the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, etc., making this Chinese concept increasingly an international consensus.
Today, when you enter the UN, people can feel the sentence more intuitively: China is approaching the center of the world stage like never before, and can more thoroughly understand President Xi Jinping’s important speech at the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations: "The world is standing at a new historical starting point.Let us reiterate our firm commitment to multilateralism, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and achieve greater unity and progress under the banner of the United Nations! ”
