China, as usual, uses UN speech to promote global development as solution to world’s challenges – WTOP News
- On Saturday, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, prioritizing development as the centerpiece of his global agenda to raise living standards worldwide.
- Beijing-Based analysts note that Chinese presidents attend major United Nations meetings selectively, meaning Han's appearance does not signal waning interest; Premier Qiang represented China last year.
- Han touted China's "Belt and Road" initiative, claiming it fosters development in three-quarters of nations, and stated the world should "reject the Cold War mindset and block confrontation."

- Han advocated for multilateralism as a "choice made by humanity," reflecting China's long-standing philosophy that development creates peace and social stability rather than confrontation.
