China DailyBy Xu Weiwei in Hong Kong, Chen Weihua in Brussels and Wang Xiaodong in Nairobi, Kenya | China Daily Global | Updated: 2024-11-19 11:21 Chinese President Xi Jinping's speeches at the APEC CEO Summit and the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting reflect China's firm belief in multilateralism and people-centered development, addressing imbalances and fostering shared prosperity, analysts said. They said his call for building a green and digital Asia-Pacific exemplifies China's forward-thinking approach to fostering a sustainable future while continuing its role as a major engine of global economic growth. "Addressing pressing issues of fragmentation and unilateralism in global economic systems, Xi positioned China as a steadfast advocate for multilateralism, equity, and innovation-driven growth," he said. "It is for this reason that many countries, particularly in the Global South, identify with Beijing's advocacy for the reforms of global economic governance frameworks," he said.
