China positions itself as force for global stability at its annual Congress
China advocates multilateralism and an equal multipolar world to promote stability and shared development, with developing countries now representing over 40% of the global economy, officials said.
- On Thursday, China's leaders wrapped up nine days of 'Two Sessions' in Beijing, projecting stability despite a war affecting Iran, according to analysts.
- Experts say the staging was deliberate to show business as usual, with officials and analysts highlighting measured diplomacy on Iran and moderate tones without explicit criticisms.

- Economic restraint and new laws carry both growth and social implications as this year China set a 4.5-5 percent growth target, while rights advocates warned the 'ethnic unity' law could further marginalise Uyghurs and Tibetans.
- China's top diplomat called 2026 'a big year for Sino-US relations' and urged managed interactions as the U.S. president announced a planned March 31–April 2 visit, analysts said it was unlikely to be derailed.
