The world today is undergoing unprecedented changes not witnessed in a century. The global economy is undergoing profound transformation, and international rules are on the brink of introducing significant new paradigms. Countries and regions are engaged in new competitions for the authority to shape international rules and lead international cooperation, particularly among major nations. The competition for influence over international rule-making is intense. China recognizes that rules and the rule of law are essential not only to facilitate the global expansion of the Belt and Road Initiative but also as a safeguard against various uncertainties and challenges. Therefore, adhering to the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, and engaging in deep and effective interaction with the existing international rules system, holds strategic significance for promoting the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative.
