China’s multipolar world order must prove it can be peaceful

China has outlined its vision for a global order through a white paper on global governance and its Global Governance Initiative. The initiative proposes an "equal and orderly multipolar world" and "universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalisation." This articulation of principles comes as world leaders are set to convene for the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York this month, under the theme "Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation." The article suggests that the key challenge for China's proposed multipolar world order lies in demonstrating its capacity to be "orderly."
