“The International Organization for Mediation (IOM), as an innovative initiative in the field of international rule of law, holds significant importance in the history of international relations. It fills a gap in the international mediation mechanism and provides an important rule-of-law public good for improving global governance.”

5. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Lin Jian, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson:
“Hong Kong has a highly developed legal system, combining the strengths of both common law and civil law traditions, giving it unique advantages in international mediation. China looks forward to the early ratification of the Convention by all signatory states and welcomes more countries to join, promoting the Mediation Institute’s active role in the peaceful resolution of international disputes.”

7. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Lin Jian, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson:
“The relevant remarks by the U.S. government are filled with ideological bias and a Cold War zero-sum mentality. Any attempt to smear and attack the Communist Party of China, vilify China’s path and system, or drive a wedge between the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people is delusional and presumptuous. Such attempts will be firmly opposed by the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people and are doomed to fail.”

“China firmly opposes U.S. arms sales to the Taiwan region of China and urges the U.S. to adhere to the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiqués, especially the provisions of the August 17 Communiqué. The U.S. must stop selling arms to Taiwan and stop creating tensions in the Taiwan Strait. China’s determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity is unwavering.”

“The U.S. approach of overstretching the concept of national security and politicizing and instrumentalizing economic, trade, and technological issues is to maliciously block and suppress China. We firmly oppose it and will resolutely safeguard our legitimate rights and interests.”

STORYLINE:
China’s Foreign Ministry on Friday hailed the establishment of the International Organization for Mediation (IOM) in Hong Kong, saying it “fills a gap in the international mediation mechanism.”
Representatives of more than 30 other countries, from Pakistan and Indonesia to Belarus and Cuba, signed the Convention on the establishment of international mediation-based dispute resolution group to become founding members of the global organization, following Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
“China looks forward to the early ratification of the Convention by all signatory states and welcomes more countries to join, promoting the Mediation Institute’s active role in the peaceful resolution of international disputes,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters at a daily news briefing in Beijing.
The support of developing countries signaled Beijing’s rising influence in the global south amid heightened geopolitical tensions, partly exacerbated by U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs.
