World must reject ‘cold war mentality,’ says Chinese President Xi at Boao Forum for Asia

Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote address by video at the annual Boao Forum for Asia on the southern island province of Hainan on April 20, 2021. He urged for more equitable global governance, and without naming any country, rebuked nations that “arrogantly instruct others and interfere”. He said ‘the whole world should not be led by unilateralism of individual countries’.
