At the start of 2026, the global governance system is under pressure like never before 🌍. A recent CGTN survey of 31,000 people across 52 countries reveals deep concerns about authority, effectiveness, and representation. Here is what’s up:
- 70.6% of respondents say the system dominated by developed nations has failed.
- 71.6% criticize current international rules as unfair.
- 73.4% believe these rules favor only a few countries or groups.
So, how does the Chinese mainland propose to fix these three critical issues? Let’s break it down:
1. Reinforce Authority
The Chinese mainland emphasizes the UN Charter’s core role. By strengthening UN mechanisms and member-state commitments, it aims to restore the system’s credibility.
2. Boost Effectiveness
It calls for smarter coordination among nations, using digital tools and streamlined processes to speed up decisions and ensure solutions actually work 🌐.
3. Enhance Representation
Fairness matters! The Chinese mainland advocates giving developing countries a stronger voice and fairer share of responsibilities in global institutions.
In a nutshell, the proposal is like upgrading an old OS: keep what works, fix what’s broken, and add fresh features to include everyone 😊. As global risks rise—from regional tensions to unequal responsibilities—this 3-point plan offers a roadmap for a more balanced, efficient, and inclusive system.
The big question now: will other members embrace these ideas and push for real reform? Stay tuned as 2026 unfolds!
