Xi: Join hands to meet global challenges

'Major countries should act like major countries,' president tells UN meeting

China has no intention of fighting a Cold War or a hot war with any country, nor will it seek hegemony, expansion or a sphere of influence, President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday.

In a speech delivered via video at the general debate of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Xi said that China will continue to narrow differences and resolve disputes with others through dialogue and negotiation.

"We do not seek to develop only ourselves or engage in a zero-sum game. We will not pursue development behind closed doors," Xi said.
