China under the CCP regime is perhaps among the countries who had issued the largest number of white papers. Normally, a government issues a white paper when it has something important policy matters to declare or announce to its people or to the international community. But a nation’s policy and its fundamental values are already declared in its constitution. Therefore, the issuance of white papers at frequent intervals and on a regular basis is not common practice.
On September 26, the State Council of Information Office of the People’s Republic of China issued another white paper “A Global Community of Shared Future: China’s Proposals and Actions.” It calls for a peaceful and equitable world. This white paper comes as a relief, however pretentious.
Currently, the world is limping back to normal after more than three years of China’s COVID-19 pandemonium. In addition, the Russia-Ukraine war is still ongoing. Also, the situations in the Southeast China Sea and the Indo-Tibet borders remain volatile. Therefore, it is refreshing to see China speaking peace and seeking the cooperation of the international community to build a global community of shared future.
One could only wish that what China has said in the paper is true. One wonders if the CCP leadership is really aware of the contents of the paper or if it believes in the concept of a “global community of shared future.” If so, the international community has every good reason to hope for peace, reconciliation, and stability in the days ahead.
