Reference Message Network reported on May 18 that the website of Brazil 247 News published an article titled "Brazil, China and CELAC Strengthen Global South Strategic Alliance and Multipolar World" on May 16. The author is Jose Reynaldo Cavalcio. The following are excerpts from the article: The Fourth Ministerial Meeting of the China-CELAC Forum held in Beijing on May 13 was a decisive milestone in the deepening process of relations between the Asian giant China and Latin American and Caribbean countries. This is far more than just a diplomatic meeting; it reiterates the political commitment of both sides to build a new international order based on peace, genuine multilateralism, and common development. This meeting consolidates the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. This concept is considered by China as the core pillar of its foreign policy towards the global South, aiming to promote unity among the peoples of developing countries and break the dependency and subordination imposed historically by Western colonialism and imperialism. This meeting has historical significance and is a milestone in advancing the multipolar process and enhancing the subjectivity of the peoples of the global South. The adoption of the Beijing Declaration reveals an unsettling truth to the old imperialist power centers: the world is changing, and no force can stop the forward march of peoples pursuing justice, development, and sovereignty. China's active and confident participation as a partner of Latin America and the Caribbean not only challenges the political and economic monopoly of Western powers but also opens up a new path of cooperation based on mutual respect and win-win benefits. Brazilian President Lula praised the Beijing Declaration as inspiring for developing countries such as Latin America and the Caribbean, stating that "it gives hope." As Editor-in-Chief Leonardo Atus of Brazil 247 News pointed out: this is a historical window that is opening—the Latin American region is rising with dignity alongside China to write its own history, breaking free from the international system that has always been at the expense of the majority and serves the interests of a few. The consensus reached at the meeting advocates true multilateralism as the safest and most rational approach to dialogue between nations. It condemns the politicization of the international financial system, criticizes neo-colonial acts disguised as "cooperation," and proposes establishing a new architecture of global governance that is more representative, democratic, and effective. In this new global landscape, President Lula's state visit to China is particularly significant. The partnership between China and Brazil within the broader framework of "BRICS+" is becoming a key factor in reconstructing geopolitical balance. In the face of U.S. diplomacy still characterized by military intervention, economic blockade, and political infiltration, this cooperation significantly enhances the strategic autonomy of the Latin American region in resisting external pressure. The China-CELAC Forum proves to the world that there is another choice. Modernization does not have to be synonymous with inequality. Development can—and should—include those long marginalized by the capitalist world system. Multipolarity is not a threat but the only possibility for peaceful coexistence among nations in the 21st century. It is the cure for unilateralism, militarism, and resource plundering.
