The UN General Assembly (UNGA) recently unanimously adopted the resolution entitled "Enhancing International Cooperation on Capacity-Building of Artificial Intelligence". Among hundreds of resolutions passed by the UNGA each year, this resolution, which was widely covered by major international media, has received special attention. Governments worldwide, especially those of the Global South countries, as well as AI-related institutions and companies, speak highly of it. The resolution, proposed by China and co-sponsored by the US, is the UN's first resolution focusing on international AI cooperation. That partly explains why it has attracted so much attention and two signals it sends are particularly noteworthy.

China's economic performance has long been making headlines in the international media. And why wouldn't it be? Even the slightest change in China's economy can spark various speculations worldwide. After all, China is the top trading partner for over 140 countries and has contributed over 30 percent to global economic growth for more than a decade. Therefore, it is understandable that the recently concluded third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, with the theme of deepening economic reform, has become a global focal point.

In face of the latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, more and more Global South countries have stood up to condemn the atrocity and call for peace. The tragedy in Gaza is not merely about the oppression of Palestine, but also mirrors the systemic injustice done to the Global South by hegemonic powers.
