Reference News Network, September 8 report. According to Sputnik News, September 6 report, Russian President's Press Secretary Peskov said during an interview at the Eastern Economic Forum that China's global governance initiative is very important.

He said: "It is actually one of the very important initiatives that have emerged in our era."

Peskov said that the global governance initiative is the beginning of dialogue.

Additionally, according to Brazil's 247 News website, September 4 report, Brazil's Chief Special Advisor Amorim met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing on September 4. Amorim stated that Brazil is interested in strengthening cooperation with China.

Amorim and Wang Yi discussed the global governance initiative proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the "SCO+” meeting. Amorim said: "The implementation of the global governance initiative is good for us because this is exactly what we stand for."

Moreover, Peter Kagwanja, Director of the African Policy Institute of Kenya, wrote on the Kenyan newspaper "The Nation" website on September 6 that the grand military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War generated significant global reactions.

The article said that this military parade commemorates a war's victory, which marks the end of a century of humiliation and re-established China's status as a major power after 1949. At the regional level, the parade commemorated China's victory over Japan's imperialist ambitions from 1931 to 1945; at the global level, it commemorated the victory of the Allied Powers over the Axis Powers.

The article pointed out that after the defeat of fascism, the struggle of the Global South against Western hegemony has not ended yet.

The article believes that the military parade firmly places China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression at the core of the narrative of humanity's collective victory over fascism. The Eurocentric narrative emphasizes the roles of other major powers and erases China's contributions and great sacrifices for the victory. China's military parade challenges this biased, silent, and distorted narrative. China was the first country to resist fascist invasion. However, the Eurocentric narrative reduces the war to a six-year period from September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, to September 2, 1945, when Japan formally surrendered.

The article points out that this narrative also ignores the resistance in Africa when Italian fascists invaded Ethiopia in 1935. In fact, the Second World War began on September 18, 1931, when Japanese forces attacked Northeast China.

The Eurocentric narrative portrays China as "rescued by the Allies." The fact is that the Chinese battlefield, as the main battlefield of the Asian front in the world's anti-fascist war, made a significant contribution to the final victory of fascism. China tied down a large number of Japanese troops in a long-term war of attrition.

The article said that China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression provided the Allies with crucial time for preparation and combat. The total number of Chinese military and civilian casualties exceeded 35 million. The Chinese people not only saved their own country but also contributed to saving the world.

After the war, China also supported the countries of the Global South to break the chains of colonialism. The anti-fascist war inspired the struggle for freedom in various countries, accelerated the collapse of colonialism, and the rise of new countries in the global political landscape.

The article said that 2025 will also be the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations, which serves as the cornerstone of global peace and stability. However, unilateral sanctions, hegemonism, practices that violate the principles of the UN Charter, and anti-globalization trends have weakened the authority of the UN Security Council, undermining the international order. The United Nations has become the pillar of the global governance system based on the ideals of global multilateralism and equality among all countries and human civilization. However, multilateralism is under challenge, and the world is experiencing a serious governance deficit. The voice of the Global South in international affairs is seriously insufficient.

The article pointed out that China has decided to take action to strengthen global governance and promote peace and development. On September 1, at the "SCO+" meeting held in Tianjin, Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed the global governance initiative. This new initiative aims to strive to build a more just and fair global governance system.

President Xi Jinping has proposed a series of global initiatives aimed at providing global public goods and maintaining world peace.

The article believes that these initiatives include the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative. They have already gained global influence and appeal. (Translated by Qing Songzhu, Liu Xiaoyan, Wang Meng)
