　　CCTV News:On November 27th, the "International Sharp Review" of the Central Radio and Television General Station broadcasted the title "Globalization encounters countercurrent, what expectations does the G20 Argentina Summit carry? The article was reprinted and quoted by many overseas media.

　　From November 27th to 28th, NTV (Russian National Television), Voice of America (Voice of America), TVRI (Republic of Indonesia Television), Canal 24 Horas (Spanish TV 24-hour news channel) and 5 Kanal (Ukrainian Channel 5) quoted relevant contents and materials. Many overseas media, such as French LCF Radio facebook account, German German-Chinese Report website, Italian Radio We website (facebook account, twitter account), Japanese Record China website, Japanese Niconico website, Japanese Oricon website, Turkish Economic Observer website, Indian Daily Morning News website, Kazakhstan Industrial News website, and Nigerian Leader newspaper website, have widely forwarded them. On November 29th, Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po also published this article.The main reports are as follows:

　　In November 2008, the G20 summit was held in Washington for the first time. At that time, a major task they faced was how to get the global economy out of the worst financial crisis in decades. Sincere cooperation and policy coordination among these major world economies have played their due role, and the world economy has gradually returned to the right track.

　　Today, ten years later, the international community is once again facing severe challenges: although the global economy has maintained growth, its growth rate has slowed down; The development of international trade has entered a downturn. The World Trade Organization (WTO) predicts that the growth rate of global trade may be lower than the economic growth rate for the fifth consecutive year. At the same time, protectionism and unilateralism have seriously impacted the international order, and the markets of some emerging economies and developing countries have experienced turmoil. Risks and uncertainties in the world economy are on the rise.

　　In this regard, the Supreme Leader of president, China pointed out at the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Leaders Summit: "Mankind has once again stood at a crossroads. Cooperation or confrontation? Open or closed? Mutual benefit or zero-sum game? How to answer these questions is related to the interests of all countries and to the future and destiny of mankind. " He reminded people, "If we embark on the road of confrontation, whether it is a cold war, a hot war or a trade war, there will be no real winner. As long as countries treat each other as equals and understand each other, there will be no problems that cannot be solved through consultation. "

　　The upcoming G20 Argentina Summit will be held in this context, and it will mainly discuss two topics: global economic governance and atmospheric change. Among them, global economic governance mainly involves global trade issues. Because at present, how to stop trade protectionism and unilateralism, continue to promote globalization and safeguard the global multilateral trading system is an urgent problem.

　　The core of the global multilateral trading system is the World Trade Organization, and the reform of WTO is considered as one of the core topics of this G20 summit. Because the United States has repeatedly rejected the appointment of judges of the WTO dispute settlement body in the past year, this institution is facing paralysis, and the normal operation of the WTO is also threatened.

　　Zhang Xiangchen, China’s Permanent Representative to the World Trade Organization, said frankly that for more than a decade, hundreds of billions of dollars in agricultural subsidies of developed WTO members have not been cut at all; Emerging formats such as e-commerce have flourished in the global market, but the WTO has failed to provide any international norms; What’s more, in the face of the rampant unilateralism and protectionism today, it is difficult for the WTO to effectively restrict it. The WTO needs and must be reformed.

　　With regard to WTO reform, China, the European Union and Canada all actively put forward their own reform ideas or specific suggestions. However, because the relevant process has not yet started, the parties still have different views on related issues. It can be predicted that all parties will take the opportunity of G20 Summit to seek in-depth exchange of views, narrow differences and expand consensus on reform.

　　Associated with global trade, the leaders of China and the United States will meet during the G20 Argentina Summit. As the world’s top two economies, any sign of Sino-US economic relations will have an impact on the global economy. The healthy and stable development of Sino-US relations is not only related to the well-being of the two peoples, but also affects world peace and prosperity. It is widely expected that the first meeting between China and the United States will make further progress in the economic and trade fields between the two countries, effectively resolve the trade friction between China and the United States, and enhance more certainty in the global market and the world economy.

　　Global climate change will be another important topic at the G20 summit. At the G-20 Hamburg Summit last year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the G-20 failed to reach a consensus on the Paris Agreement because of the "regret" withdrawal of the United States, but the remaining 19 members unanimously decided that the Paris Agreement was irreversible.

　　In the past few weeks, the forest fires in California have forced people to focus on global climate change again. Whether the G20 Argentina Summit can reach an agreement on this issue is of concern. According to the Financial Times, the leaked draft summit statement will briefly mention the Paris Agreement, but will not call for more financial assistance to developing countries to cope with climate change.

　　Contrary to unilateralism and zero-sum game, the G20 international mechanism itself represents "multilateralism" and "cooperation". The experience of ten years ago shows that only by cooperating rather than confronting can the G20 jointly and truly resolve the uncertainties and potential risks facing the global economy. This is not only in their respective national interests, but also in the national interests of all countries in the world.
