China is where the certainty lies in an uncertain world and China's stability is the anchor of stability for the world; the better China develops and the stronger it becomes, the more stable the world will be, Jin Canrong, professor of school of international studies at Renmin University of China, said at the Global Times Annual Conference 2025, themed "Moving forward in Partnership: Resonance of Values between China and the World," which was held in Beijing on Saturday. 

Jin said in the last month of 2024, many events have occurred around the world, including the six-hour martial law farce in South Korea on December 3; on the evening of December 4, the French government collapsed; and on December 8, the Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria fell. "In the face of such chaos, the changes unseen in a century have entered a deep-water zone," said Jin.

China is where the certainty lies in an uncertain world, serving as the stabilizing force for the globe. The better China develops and the stronger it becomes, the more stable the world will be; China's stability is a contribution to the world, said the expert.  

"The key right now is for China to focus on its own affairs, with economic development being the most crucial aspect. We can see that the annual Central Economic Work Conference has set the tone for next year's economy and introduced a series of new measures to provide momentum for the sustained recovery and improvement of the economy," according to Jin.
