| Abstract: | On October 25, Chinese President Xi Jinping attended and addressed a conference in Beijing to mark the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the People's Republic of China's lawful seat in the UN. Summarizing China's philosophy as a major country that pursues peaceful development for the benefit of people worldwide, he called on the international community to dy-namically advocate the common values of humanity featuring peace, develop-ment, equity, justice, democracy and freedom, jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, determinedly defend the authority of the UN Charter and coop-eratively observe true multilateralism.For the past 50 years, the Chinese people have promoted economic and social development, with overall na-tional strength continuously on the rise; knowing all too well the value of stability, they have followed an inde-pendent foreign policy of peace, stood firm for justice and resolutely opposed the practices of power politics. China has stayed true to the purpose and prin-ciples of the UN Charter and upheld its central role in international affairs. |
