China at the UN: peace, development, and fairness

Jenny CleggDanny Haiphong

Jenny Clegg argues China's foreign policy, rooted in the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and the 1955 Bandung Conference, seeks peaceful development and Global South unity rather than replacing US hegemony.

Ahead of the UN General Assembly's 81st general debate, China's stated agenda centres on an immediate Gaza ceasefire, climate finance from developed nations, and reform of global governance so the Global South gains fairer seats and access to AI.
