Reference Message Network reported on April 5. The website of the Hong Kong South China Morning Post reported on April 3 an article titled "China's Role as a Force for Stability in the Face of Turmoil Brought by the United States" written by Yasir Masud. The following are excerpts from the article: Last month, China's annual Two Sessions outlined domestic priorities, including advancing technological development, accelerating the transition to green energy, and addressing debt challenges. The Boao Forum for Asia further elaborated on these themes. In the face of increasing tariffs from the United States, intensifying climate impacts, and fragmented global trade patterns, Beijing's leadership is reiterating China's role as a stabilizing force in Asia and a supporter of multilateral frameworks. US protectionist measures, including tariffs, have prompted China to accelerate the repositioning of its relations with Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. These tariffs threaten global trade stability but also incentivize Beijing to build stronger alliances. For example, from January to November last year, China's total goods trade with RCEP member countries reached $1.65 trillion, up 4.4% year-on-year. RCEP is the world's largest free trade zone, bringing significant opportunities to smaller economies. Green technologies such as electric vehicles, next-generation nuclear reactors, and wind power are dual catalysts that both drive China's domestic economic expansion and promote global climate efforts. Additionally, the Belt and Road Initiative remains key to global integration. Since its launch in 2013, the initiative has provided financing for numerous projects such as the China-Laos Railway and Indonesia's high-speed rail, boosting tourism and small business growth. By building equal partnerships, the Belt and Road Initiative clearly plays a role in eliminating historical injustices. South-South cooperation continues to thrive. African leaders increasingly view China as a true partner in driving infrastructure modernization. Meanwhile, China's efforts to achieve self-reliance and strength in science and technology are reshaping the global industry. Huawei has built Southeast Asia's first 5G fully connected factory with partners in Thailand, using real-time analysis to revolutionize manufacturing efficiency. China's progress in renewable energy, 5G, artificial intelligence, and other technologies is not just for itself—it is also a tool needed worldwide. This vision is reinforced through long-term partnerships established via the Belt and Road Initiative and the tariff-lowering RCEP, while the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank provides financing for balancing economic growth with ecological conservation. At the same time, China advocates for a more inclusive global financial order, urging the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund to promote multipolarity to better reflect the interests of emerging economies. This is about choosing dialogue over division. Even in the face of obstacles such as US tariffs and climate challenges, China continues to promote technological independence, green innovation, and support for developing countries. The Boao Forum for Asia aptly summarized the challenges and opportunities: our choices will determine the future of humanity.
