China’s Initiative to Change the Global Governance System in the Context of Strengthening the Global South

The current global governance system faces numerous serious challenges. In this context, the rise of the Global South is disrupting traditional Western-centrism and creating new preconditions for reforming the existing system of global governance. Amid these changes, China is demonstrating a willingness to actively participate in international processes. The country has put forward “four major initiatives” that are a logical extension of China’s expanding capabilities in global governance. They not only reflect the country's growing influence on the international stage but also emphasize its values-based approach to shaping the global order. It is noted that the Global South offers China unique opportunities and platforms for realizing its ambitions. Beijing offers its partners not only economic cooperation but also cultural exchanges, as well as joint efforts to address global challenges such as climate change, economic inequality, and security. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that China is promoting a more balanced and equitable global order that takes into account the interests of not only Western countries but also developing countries.
