On July 28, 2026, the Chinese Embassy in the United States held a reception to celebrate the 99th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Victory of the Long March. Ambassador Xie Feng attended the event and delivered remarks.

Ambassador Xie said that deficits in peace, development, security, and governance keep growing, and no country could stay immune. Unilateralism will only give rise to strife, zero-sum game will only intensify confrontation, and hegemonism and bullying will only fuel turmoil. After proposing the important vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity, President Xi Jinping has creatively put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative, which have injected strong impetus into the efforts to build a better world, and contributed China’s wisdom to tackling challenges of the era.

Ambassador Xie Feng emphasized that China’s vision is not just a statement on paper, but is delivered through concrete action. More than 150 countries are sharing the benefits of Belt and Road cooperation. The over 1,800 programs in the project pool under the Global Development Initiative are making notable progress. From the Group of Friends for Peace on the Ukraine crisis to the four-point proposal on promoting peace and stability in the Middle East, and from the launch of the International Organization for Mediation to the UN resolution on establishing the International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations, China has always promoted talks for peace, upheld openness and cooperation, and advocated extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, thus instilling stability, certainty, and constructive momentum into a volatile world.
