In the first week of September, Chinese President Xi Jinping took the stage twice to share a vision shaped by history and aimed at the future.
On September 3, at the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, Xi reminded us how a 14-year struggle cost 35 million lives. This solemn memory fuels his promise to stick to peaceful development and equality among nations. ✌️
Just two days earlier, at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization plus Meeting in Tianjin on the Chinese mainland, Xi launched the Global Governance Initiative (GGI). He argued that today’s threats go beyond military conflicts, from growing inequalities to climate challenges and digital divides.
The UN’s own 2025 reports show some 673 million people still face hunger, while 2.6 billion struggle for a healthy diet. The richest 1 percent owns nearly half of global wealth, and 90 percent of young women in low-income countries are offline. These gaps, Xi says, threaten peace as much as any war. 🌍
By linking the sacrifice of past generations with today’s global challenges, Xi is offering a roadmap: build a fairer world through cooperation, shared security and a stronger global governance system. It’s a bold call to action for young leaders, entrepreneurs and everyone who dreams of a stable future. 💡
Whether you’re studying international relations, planning a startup, or simply curious about world affairs, Xi’s dual message underscores one key idea: peace isn’t automatic. It’s a treasure we must protect together. 🕊️
