US EditionIn UN speech, Beijing makes clear its intent to remold global norms, seizing on Trump’s retreat
China asserts its role in shaping global norms as U.S. shifts inward, with Beijing promoting cooperation and criticizing unilateralism, officials said.
- On Friday, Chinese Premier Li Qiang addressed the U.N. General Assembly, signaling Beijing's intent to help shape the world order after Xi Jinping's Global Governance Initiative.
- Analysts say Beijing's timing follows U.S. inward shifts under Donald Trump, as China seeks a larger global role reflecting its economic might and stature, Olivia Cheung said.
- In his remarks, Li emphasized China's economic and environmental commitments, touting tariff cuts, emissions pledges and safeguarding U.N. authority while crediting its eight decades of peace.
- The speech landed amid ongoing bilateral trade frictions as officials in Washington worry China might seek to unseat U.S. leadership, while Xi and Trump plan to meet at the APEC summit.
- Experts warn Li's multilateral rhetoric clashes with Beijing's record, with actions eroding sovereignty from Hong Kong to the South China Sea and shifting strategy to reshape the U.N., analysts say.
