China Advocates for Peace to Serve CCP’s Interests

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has long preached about China’s “great rejuvenation” and a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The GSI is the Chinese regime’s ongoing psychological warfare aimed at fundamentally equating the CCP’s authoritarian rule with democratically elected governments around the world. This obfuscates the fact that the Chinese people have no say in their government whatsoever, and the CCP’s equivocation is thus just another lie.
Has communist China ever facilitated true peace agreements under the auspices of the Global Security Initiative and the even more grandiose Global Civilization Initiative?
The reality is that Beijing’s motivations for engaging in peace talks as a mediator are primarily driven by self-interest, particularly in terms of strategic geopolitical and economic competition with the United States and the West. For example, the CCP engages in regional security issues in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands in ways that enhance China’s economic engagement and diplomatic prestige in those regions.
The only qualified success China has achieved on the peace front was a breakthrough that reestablished diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran in March 2023. Talks had been ongoing for years, and China merely stepped in as mediator at Saudi Arabia’s request in the latter stages of discussions to host the final meeting in Beijing and seal the deal.
The deal benefited the CCP and smoothed the way for uninterrupted Iranian oil shipments to China. Note that Iran exports 90 percent of its oil to China, while Iranian oil accounts for nearly 14 percent of China’s oil imports.
And yet for all the trade and partnership with Iran in recent years, Xi was relegated to a spectator as the Israel–Iran war played out and U.S. President Donald Trump brokered the cease-fire after a precision B-2 strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The other marginal success for China was mediating a cease-fire between the Burmese military and various rebel groups in northern Burma (Myanmar) in January.
This is the actual meaning of peace with CCP characteristics.
While Xi has preached about peace, building shared futures, and global cooperation for over a decade, in six short months, Trump has taken concrete actions to actually achieve peace around the world.
Trump helped avert a nuclear war between India and Pakistan in May.
Israel and Iran agreed to a cease-fire in their 12-day war after Trump ordered a B-2 airstrike that destroyed three Iranian nuclear facilities.
Trump is also personally involved in negotiations to end the Hamas–Israel conflict and the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war.
The contrast between the two leaders could not be more apparent; the world is well aware of the difference between Xi’s words and Trump’s actions.
