As globalization faces unprecedented challenges, China has put forward the global governance concept of joint consultation, joint construction and sharing, and deeply participated in and promoted the development of the global governance system in a more democratic, just and reasonable direction, an expert said on Monday. "China strives to make the world safer, more peaceful, more prosperous and more diverse, and a series of China-proposed initiatives have been warmly welcomed and supported by the vast majority of countries in the world," said Wang Wen, professor and executive dean of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China. In September, China announced it would provide zero tariff treatment to all tariff items for every least developed country that has diplomatic ties with it, and it has so far unilaterally given visa-free treatment to nearly 30 countries, which Wang said show China's sincerity to open its door wider. "As the largest developing country and a natural member of the Global South, China's economic growth can drive the progress of other developing countries and thus achieve collective rise," Wang said.
