Global efforts needed to curb right wing's rise
China DailyAn election official counts votes during the second round of France's legislative election at a polling station in Illkirch-Graffenstaden, eastern France on July 7, 2024. The French election results reflect the broader political trend in the West: the rise of right-wing forces, deepening political divisions, and the fragility of the conventional party structure. The rise of the far right and populism poses serious challenges to the existing political order, while the internal instability and policy uncertainty in Western countries have heightened tensions globally, making global cooperation more difficult. So the major Western powers, as pivotal players in the international community, must transcend their domestic political divisions and bolster global cooperation, and work together to reform the global governance system to promote fairness, equity and justice, in order to address common challenges such as climate change. In today's turbulent times, solidarity and cooperation among countries, grounded in the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, will be crucial for shaping a more inclusive and resilient global order.
