Cui Jianchun is Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The 2026 Global Governance Forum in Xiongan, Hebei province, wrapped up on October 25. Against a backdrop of acute strains on multilateralism and a widening global governance deficit, the forum galvanised a shared sense of urgency across the international community for reform and solidarity.

More than a century ago, Karl Marx noted that, “Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.” That insight strikes at the very heart of today’s global governance crisis.

It is simply not enough to analyse geopolitical tensions or bemoan development gaps; the international community must design and execute a workable road map. China’s four global initiatives, with the Global Governance Initiative as a key pillar, provide precisely this compass, pointing to a clear way forward to address the world’s most pressing problems.
