Emphasis on commitment to support joint response to challenges earns praise
President Xi Jinping s speech at the World Economic Forum Virtual Event of the Davos Agenda on Monday has made clear China s commitment to upholding multilateralism and injected impetus into the world s joint response to challenges, global experts said.
In his special address, Xi said the problems facing the world are intricate and complex and that the way out of them is through upholding multilateralism and building a community with a shared future for mankind .
He also expressed opposition to the building of small circles and starting a new Cold War, because these acts, as well as efforts to reject, threaten or intimidate others, to willfully impose decoupling, supply disruption or sanctions, and to create isolation or estrangement will only push the world into division and even confrontation .
