Geng Shuang, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman, said that“any sign of Unilateralism or protectionism will … worsen global trade issues and will
hurt the recovering momentum of the world economy.”.
The world is not yet a tranquil place. The international security system and order are undermined by growing hegemonism,
power politics, Unilateralism, and constant regional conflicts and wars,” said the document.
However, ten years later,
when we are faced with issues of Unilateralism and protectionism, we cannot start reinforcing the status quo of multilateralism-
a multilateralism which we had sought to reform ten years earlier.
