JOHANNESBURG, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Saturday called on the Group of 20 (G20) economies to maintain their commitment to unity, firmly uphold free trade and build an open world economy amid a sluggish global economic recovery.

Li Qiang made the statement during his speech at the first session of the 20th G20 summit, dedicated to inclusive and sustainable economic growth and chaired by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

As the head of the Chinese government recalled, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized at the 17th G20 summit that unity is strength, while disunity leads nowhere.

According to the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, over the years, thanks to the spirit of unity, G20 members, representing different regions and with different systems and cultures, have managed to overcome a number of challenges and promote global progress and development.

Li Qiang emphasized that today the global economy is once again facing serious challenges, expressed in the strengthening of unilateralism and protectionism, the increase of trade restrictions, and the escalation of confrontations.

Diverging interests and shortcomings in global cooperation mechanisms, he continued, have become significant factors hindering the strengthening of international cohesion.

The head of the Chinese government called on the G20 to address these issues head-on, seek solutions, and promote the return of all parties to the path of unity and cooperation.

Li Qiang stated the need for concerted efforts to properly resolve disputes and frictions through consultations on the basis of equality when differences and contradictions arise.

The Premier also emphasized the importance of finding common ground while maintaining differences, actively identifying the highest common denominator that takes into account the interests of all parties, and responding appropriately to each other's legitimate concerns.

Speaking about the challenges of global governance, he stressed that the G20 economies must keep up with the times and take the lead in supporting multilateralism.

The head of the Chinese government noted the importance of accelerating reforms of institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization.

He also called for a stronger voice for developing countries and for building a more equitable and open international trade and economic order.

Li Qiang said that China has published an action plan aimed at implementing the G20 initiative to support industrialization in Africa and least developed countries, and also emphasized China's commitment to promoting the common development of all countries.

China supports debt relief for developing countries and has jointly launched an initiative with South Africa to cooperate in supporting Africa's modernization, the Chinese Premier said, noting that China will also establish an Institute for Global Development.

Leaders participating in the summit stated that over the past two decades, the G20 has become an important platform for the international community to jointly respond to challenges, seize opportunities, and find paths to shared development. They noted that the modern world faces numerous challenges, and the level of instability and uncertainty continues to grow.

The leaders called on G20 members, representing the world's major economies and emerging markets, to fulfill their responsibilities conscientiously, strengthen cohesion and cooperation, defend multilateralism, and join forces to overcome challenges.

They also called on G20 members to defend the multilateral trading system, with the World Trade Organization at its core, advance reform of global economic governance, and narrow development gaps among countries to promote strong, balanced, inclusive, and sustainable growth.

BEIJING, November 22 (Xinhua) — China's Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region achieved success in the green transformation of enterprises, industrial production, energy, and transportation during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), effectively contributing to the sustained improvement of local air quality indicators, according to the latest tax data released on Saturday.

According to statistics from the General Administration of Taxation of China, from 2021 to September 2025, enterprises in the region received a total of 1.63 billion yuan (about 230 million US dollars) in environmental tax incentives for achieving pollution reduction targets.

During the reporting period, the green tax rate per 10,000 yuan of gross regional product for these companies decreased from 18.60 yuan to 17.60 yuan, demonstrating tangible results of corporate green transformation.

Improvements were also noted in the region's industrial structure. According to value-added tax (VAT) invoice data, in the first three quarters of 2025, sales revenue from energy-intensive and high-emission industries accounted for 34.4% of total manufacturing sales in the region, down from 40.6% in 2021.

In terms of the transport sector, the regional vehicle mix has also become more environmentally friendly. In the first nine months of 2025, sales of vehicles powered by new energy sources accounted for 45.8 percent of total vehicle sales, a sharp increase from 13 percent in 2021, according to invoice data.

According to Chen Binkai, Vice-Rector of the Central University of Finance and Economics (Beijing), coordinated green development in these sectors has created a comprehensive pollution control system, providing valuable experience for interregional environmental management nationwide.

JOHANNESBURG, November 22 (Xinhua) — The Group of Twenty (G20) summit, which is being held on the African continent for the first time, opened in Johannesburg on Saturday.

The two-day event, themed “Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability,” highlights a key moment for Africa as it seeks to enhance its role in global governance and advance development priorities shared by the Global South.

"The G20 underscores the value and relevance of multilateralism. It recognizes that the challenges we face can only be overcome through cooperation, collaboration, and partnership," said South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in his opening speech.

"The adoption of the summit declaration sends a powerful signal to the world that multilateralism can and will deliver real results," said Ramaphosa. "It confirms that, as leaders of the G20, we remain committed to our solemn pledge to leave no one, no community, and no country behind."

“As a founding member of the G20, South Africa is committed to ensuring that the development priorities of the Global South and the African continent are firmly and permanently reflected in the G20 agenda,” the President emphasized.

As Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian announced at a regular press conference on November 13, China expressed its full support for South Africa's presidency. He noted that China is ready to work with all parties to achieve consensus at the summit on upholding multilateralism, building an open global economy, and promoting development cooperation.

"We expect this summit to work in the interests of other African countries overall. And we are confident that the Chinese government and other governments around the world will support this agenda," South African Foreign Ministry spokesman Crispin Phiri told Xinhua on Saturday at the summit's media center.

Observers say the Johannesburg summit reflects Africa's growing global influence and demonstrates heightened expectations that China and other countries in the Global South will help strengthen consensus on multilateralism and inclusive development.

The United States refused to participate in the summit and said it would reject any final document presented as a G20 consensus without its consent.

Washington's absence effectively deprives the United States of a role in determining the summit's conclusions, K. Phiri noted on November 19, commenting on the US decision not to participate in the summit.

"We cannot allow coercion by absent parties to become an acceptable tactic," he emphasized. "This will lead to institutional paralysis and undermine collective efforts."

South African presidential spokesman Vincent Magwenya told reporters at the media centre that "the summit declaration was unanimously adopted by the leaders present here in South Africa."

South Africa assumed the G20 presidency on December 1, 2024, becoming the first African country to hold the position. The United States is scheduled to assume the presidency on December 1, 2025. –0–

Report: China's county-level economy offers developing countries a vision for narrowing the urban-rural gap

BEIJING, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) — China's county-level economic development theory provides valuable inspiration and experience for developing countries around the world in resolving the dual structural contradiction between urban and rural areas and achieving sustainable development, a think tank said in a report.

The report, titled "County Economy in the New Era," was released Friday by the Xinhua Institute, a national-level think tank affiliated with the Xinhua News Agency, at the Belt and Road International Think Tank Cooperation Forum held in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province.

The trickle-down theory suggests that the trickle-down effect occurs between economically developed and underdeveloped regions, the report says, noting that as developed regions rise, resources and factors of production flow from underdeveloped regions to them, weakening the economic potential of underdeveloped regions and exacerbating their development problems.

According to the report, the development of China's county-level economies demonstrates that county-level areas are not simply peripheral units passively exposed to the radiation effects of central cities. They can, like central cities, foster the formation of independent growth poles through internal drivers.

County districts are no longer mere "appendages" of urban agglomerations; they are fundamental economic units with autonomous capabilities for value creation and self-sufficiency. Their development trajectory marks a shift in regional economic structures from "peripheral followers" to "multipolar coexistence," offering Latin American, African, and other developing countries facing urban-rural dualism valuable experience in "non-exploitative urbanization," the report notes.

The paper also highlights the pioneering innovations of Chinese counties in renewable energy, green offsetting, and low-carbon agriculture, demonstrating their role in providing technical and management expertise to small and medium-sized cities around the world to respond to climate change and achieve green transformation. -0-

Wang Yi, for his part, conveyed President Emomali Rahmon's sincere greetings from Chairman Xi Jinping, noting that the two heads of state maintain close and strategic contacts, building strong mutual trust and deep friendship.

The Chinese Foreign Minister noted that the two sides have reached an important consensus on the goal of building a community with a shared future for China and Tajikistan, which sets bilateral relations on a trajectory of accelerated development. He continued that China is Tajikistan's most reliable partner and trusted friend, and stands ready to work with Tajikistan to implement the agreements reached by the two countries' leaders, advancing the deeper and more practical development of their comprehensive strategic cooperation and partnership in the new era.

Wang Yi reported on the results of the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, emphasizing that China's high-quality development and high-level openness will provide Tajikistan and other countries with new opportunities and broader prospects for cooperation.

Wang Yi stated that China is ready to strengthen coordination and interaction with Tajikistan within the framework of the SCO and the China-Central Asia cooperation mechanism, jointly combat the “three evil forces” (terrorism, extremism, separatism), and strengthen a reliable security system in the interests of the development and prosperity of the two countries.
