This year marks the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the People’s Republic of China’s lawful seat in the UN. With this historic event, the Chinese people, accounting for one fourth of the world’s population, were able to return to the UN family.

In the five decades since, China has stood for sovereign equality and non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs, while opposing power politics and hegemony. It has safeguarded international justice, adhering to equity and impartiality, and opposed geopolitical rivalry and exclusive blocs.
