- Richard Stengel, former Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, characterized China as a supporter of the United Nations Charter and a bastion of global governance.
- The Chinese leader previously pitched a development model to developing countries during the Covid pandemic as a counterpoint to international developments involving Afghanistan.
