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 announcement 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 to implement the G20 initiative to support industrialization in Africa and least developed countries, and 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 Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China said, noting that China will also establish an Institute for Global Development.

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–

BEIJING, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) — From the beginning of 2025 to Nov. 19, 10,131 China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains passed through Lanzhou North Railway Station, capital of Northwest China's Gansu Province, the Zhongguo Xinwenwang news portal reported.

Lanzhou, a hub city on China-Europe/Central Asia rail freight routes, has been integrated into the network of distribution centers serving the corresponding trains in Northwest China.

Lanzhou North Railway Station, the largest freight yard in Gansu Province, is a mandatory stop on the western corridor of China-Europe routes. An increasing number of trains are passing through it for maintenance, the report notes.

According to data released at the 2nd China-Europe Freight Train Services International Cooperation Forum, which was recently held in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the total number of freight trains operating on these routes has reached nearly 120,000 since the launch of the China-Europe freight train routes. They have carried a total of approximately 12 million TEU (tall unit) containers.

In addition, from January to August 2025, a total of 5,531 trains traveled along the China-Kazakhstan, China-Kyrgyzstan, and China-Turkmenistan routes. These trains carried nearly 520,000 TEUs. -0-

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-
