China Slams US Exit from 66 Groups, Vows to Lead Global Order

China has pledged to strengthen its commitment to the United Nations and other international bodies. This comes as a direct response to the United States withdrawing from dozens of multilateral organizations. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that UN-centered groups have been crucial to “uphold global peace and stability” and “safeguard equal rights of all nations.” The comments implicitly criticize recent U.S. policy. The statement follows a report that the U.S. has left 66 international agreements and groups in recent years. China positioned itself as a defender of the current global system, known as multilateralism. Beijing said it will continue to actively participate in and support these organizations. It framed this as essential for solving worldwide challenges through cooperation.
