Chinese President Xi Jinping said at the 2015 Asian-African Summit that “we must carry forward the Bandung Spirit by enriching it with new elements consistent with changing times, by pushing for a new type of international relations featuring win-win cooperation, by promoting a more just and equitable international order and system, and by building a community with a shared future for humanity so as to bring about even greater benefits to the people in Asia, Africa and other parts of the world.“

　　In practice, China has provided aid to over 160 countries and partnered with more than 150 through the Belt and Road Initiative. It also supports South-South cooperation through platforms like the China-ASEAN cooperation mechanism, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, the China-CELAC Forum and the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum.

　　China has set up a Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund with a total funding of 4 billion U.S. dollars and has carried out over 130 projects in nearly 60 countries, targeting poverty reduction, health, climate and food security. It also promotes the Global Development Initiative in joint efforts with over 100 countries and organizations.

　　China is willing to invest in countries that others overlook, not just in infrastructure but in people's well-being, said Indonesian journalist Yuni Arisandy.

　　One standout project is the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, which cut travel time from over three hours to just 46 minutes. During construction, China helped train 45,000 Indonesians, offering technical trainings that extend beyond the railway system.
