Hong Kong may play a significant role in China's evolving approach to global governance, according to analysts. Following the release of a white paper by China's State Council titled 'More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China’s Principles, Proposals and Actions,' experts suggest the city could become a hub for international organizations and a leader in setting global standards.
The white paper, which expands on China's Global Governance Initiative launched last September, posits that global governance is at a "critical crossroads" due to various crises disrupting the post-World War II international system. China indicated support for changes that align with current realities rather than rebuilding or replacing existing structures.
