📢 China's Call to End Unilateral Sanctions 🌐
In a powerful statement at the UN, Fu Cong, China's permanent representative, urged an immediate end to unilateral sanctions imposed by certain countries. He slammed these actions as illegal under international law and the UN Charter, warning that they deepen hardships and risk igniting new conflicts.
Fu made these remarks during a Security Council open debate on peacebuilding and conflict prevention. He emphasized that for real conflict prevention, we need a friendly external environment—not one tangled up in sanctions and trade barriers.
He also highlighted how crucial it is for developing nations to have a fair shot in the global economy. By promoting open and non-discriminatory trade, developing countries can better participate in economic, scientific, and technological cooperation. 🚀
Fu didn't hold back on criticizing unilateralism and interference in other nations' affairs, reinforcing China's stance against hegemony. He pointed out that sanctions only make existing problems worse and could lead to more conflicts down the line.
He also touched on global instability, noting that increased turmoil in some regions is spilling over into others. To tackle this, he called for conflict prevention measures that address both the symptoms and root causes, like poverty and underdevelopment. 🌱
Effective governance is key! Fu stressed that governments should step up in areas where markets fall short, investing in infrastructure, education, and healthcare to boost public welfare and ensure long-term stability.
Inclusivity is also a big deal. Safeguarding the rights of women, youth, and vulnerable groups lays the groundwork for lasting peace. ✌️
Fu highlighted China's commitment to supporting peace and sustainable development in the Global South. One cool project he mentioned is the China-UN Peace and Development Trust Fund's Juncao Technology. This tech helps farmers in 107 countries get into higher-value industries like mushroom farming and animal husbandry, tackling poverty and food security issues. 🍄🐄
Shoutout to Professor Lin Zhanxi, the 82-year-old genius behind Juncao Technology, who’s still hustling to spread this innovation worldwide! 👏
Wrapping up, Fu reaffirmed China's readiness to work with the international community to help more developing countries achieve self-sufficiency, foster peace, and build a stable global foundation.
Let's hope these calls for unity and cooperation lead to a brighter future for all! 🌍✨
