Chinese Vice President Han Zheng addressed the opening ceremony of the 13th World Peace Forum in Beijing, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding international fairness and justice, improving the global governance system, and promoting shared prosperity through openness and cooperation. Han cautioned against the use of military force as a means of resolving conflicts and warned against hegemonism. He also stated that there are no winners in trade wars, indirectly criticizing the Trump administration's tariff policies. The forum gathered over 1,200 guests from 86 countries and regions, including Chinese officials, foreign diplomats, and scholars, who called for joint efforts to uphold fairness, justice, and international security cooperation. Another top Chinese official, Liu, described a war between China and the United States as "unimaginable" but highlighted Taiwan and the South China Sea as potential flashpoints. The event focused on learning lessons from history, safeguarding the post-war order, and enhancing unity and coordination in global governance.
