Amid growing geopolitical tensions between China and the West, Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed an alternative to US-led international leadership during his speech in Beijing. He emphasized non-intervention, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence, advocating for building bridges rather than confrontation. Xi highlighted the importance of non-interference and opposing the imposition of one's will on others. His remarks come at a time of increasing Western accusations of unfair economic practices against China, rising distrust, and concerns over China's relations with Russia and territorial disputes in the South China Sea. Xi's speech aimed to reassure the international community of China's commitment to peace and to position Beijing as a diplomatic leader of the Global South
