"Unilateralism is rearing its ugly head, and dealing severe blows to the authority and effectiveness of multilateralism," said Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, at the "Vision China" event themed "Standing United: Inheriting the UN Legacy, Advancing Global Governance" at the UN headquarters in New York on Sept 15. Fu added that China has always been a defender of the international order, and four global initiatives together form a coherent vision that reflects China's sense of responsibility as a major country.
