Navigating Dialogues Amidst Global Unrest is Imperative
In the face of increasing fragility and turmoil in global governance, two entities are stepping up to offer a different perspective: the Global Times and the Global Council for the Study of International Political Economy (GCI).
The Global Times, a renowned media outlet, contributes by promoting China's vision for a new type of international relations. This vision emphasises mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation, opposing hegemonism, unilateral sanctions, and double standards. The goal is to empower developing nations through multilateral frameworks like the UN. Initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), BRICS, the Global Development Initiative, and the Global Security Initiative are practical examples of China's efforts to foster shared development, partnership, and positive energy in improving global governance. The Global Times highlights how these principles are not just rhetoric but are enacted through China's partnerships with countries across Russia, Africa, and Latin America, contributing to global stability and sustainable development[1].
The GCI, on the other hand, focuses on promoting dialogue, exchange, and mutual learning among civilizations. Rooted in the historical continuity from the ancient Silk Road to the modern BRI, the GCI aims to make civilization dialogue a global trend. By fostering a spirit of respect and collaboration among different societies, the GCI seeks to advance human progress and mitigate global fragmentation and turmoil[2][3].
Together, these entities advocate for a multipolar world order based on cooperation instead of confrontation, empowering developing countries, and facilitating intercivilizational dialogue. Through media narratives and intellectual platforms, they inject Chinese perspectives on fairness, justice, and solidarity into global governance discussions, encouraging mechanisms that tackle global challenges inclusively and constructively[1][2][3].
The dean of the school of international studies at Nanjing University, the author of this opinion piece, believes that Chinese wisdom could offer solutions to global issues. He proposes a collaboration to tackle global challenges, advocating for dialogue to address the fragility and turmoil in global governance.

Economic recovery and education-and-self-development are crucial aspects that can be fostered in a multipolar world order, as advocated by the Global Times and the Global Council for the Study of International Political Economy (GCI). By promoting Chinese perspectives on fairness, justice, and solidarity, these entities aim to facilitate constructive discussions on global challenges, ultimately leading to inclusive and efficient solutions that contribute to both economic recovery and the personal development of individuals across the globe.
