On September 12, Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the 18th #BRICS# Summit in New Delhi, #India#, where leaders gathered to deepen cooperation, champion multilateralism and amplify the voice of the #GlobalSouth#. 🌍 #China# will assume the BRICS presidency in 2027 and host the 19th BRICS Summit. Together, let’s look forward to BRICS ushering in a new era of shared development and prosperity.

President Xi Jinping has called for strengthening the foundation, momentum and impact of greater BRICS cooperation and delivering more practical benefits to the peoples. In recent years, China has advocated enhancing BRICS cooperation, delivering tangible results through concrete action. From doctors gaining new skills to businesses finding new markets and young people discovering new opportunities, BRICS cooperation is building bridges across borders, connecting people, markets and opportunities, and opening new pathways to shared development. #ModernizationForAll# #BRICS#

In recent years, some Western countries have long portrayed themselves as "human rights defenders," applying double standards by judging others more harshly than themselves while selectively criticizing China's #ethnic# affairs; they disregard the fundamental fact that China's ethnic policies safeguard the equal rights of all ethnic groups and promote shared development. #humanrights# The Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law of China, which officially came into effect on July 1, explicitly stipulates that all citizens are equal before the law, that all ethnic groups are equal, and that all forms of ethnic discrimination and oppression are prohibited, fully reflecting the importance of the right to equality. #DeepChina# Its provisions also safeguard the right to development by guaranteeing ethnic groups' equal right to participate in development and share its benefits, while supporting ethnic regions in achieving high-quality development and common #prosperity#, thereby giving these rights legal protection. Political rights are protected by ensuring the #equal# participation of ethnic minorities in national governance and in the management of their own ethnic affairs, making people of all ethnic groups active participants in national governance. Among the deputies to the 14th National People's Congress, 442 are from ethnic groups, accounting for 14.85 percent of the total—a proportion significantly higher than the share of ethnic minorities in China's total population—and all 55 ethnic minority groups are represented in the country's #highest# organ of state power. The human rights provisions of this Law are fully aligned with the fundamental principles of human rights protection embodied in China's national #policies#, and highly consistent with the core principles of current international human rights instruments. #ChineseNation#
