Development is the right of all, not an exclusive privilege of the few. China has been taking concrete actions and conducting pragmatic cooperation with countries to achieve the common goal of human welfare.

　　One typical case is demonstrated by the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which has allowed many developing countries to make cooperation deals with China that benefit those countries, as opposed to the kind of trade agreements imperialism delivers - exploitative and leaving those countries in impoverished chaos, said Elizabeth Rowley, leader of the Communist Party of Canada.

　　The latest data shows that in the first two months of 2023, the trade volume between China and ASEAN countries rose by 9.6 percent year-on-year, according to Xu Ningning, executive president of the China-ASEAN Business Council.

　　Xu revealed that the non-financial direct investment in countries along BRI from Chinese enterprises reached 17.06 billion RMB (about 2.49 billion USD) in January, up 42.7 percent year-on-year.

　　Another is showcased by Global Development Initiative (GDI), which was announced by China in 2021.

　　The GDI is a promising response to help the world recover from recent setbacks and accelerate the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide, said Siddharth Chatterjee, UN Resident Coordinator in China, in his speech at a forum in 2022.

　　As the initiator of the GDI, China has built cooperation platforms along with its international partners to deliver the initiative. For example, 150 institutions from nearly 40 countries and regions are making？joint preparations to establish a World Technical Vocational and Education Training (TVET) League. More than 60 countries have joined the Group of Friends of the GDI. Over 40,000 training opportunities have been provided to Group of Friends countries through over 1,000 capacity building programs.

　　"No country or individual should be left behind," President Xi said at the High-level Dialogue on Global Development in 2022.
