China's participation in global governance, inspired by the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, is driven by the guiding principle of "building a community of shared future for mankind". China has been promoting the Belt and Road Initiative and South-South Cooperation and has made significant contributions to the prosperity of human beings. Along with the opportunities that globalization brought about such as the World Health Organization and the boom in the economy, global health challenges also emerged. This resulted in certain obstacles for China when it sought to advocate the Belt and Road Initiative and when it attempted to carry out its strategy to address global health issues. What are the emerging challenges for global health? What can China do for global health? Why does global health need China? We tried to address these questions as China's global engagement continues to expand in the new era. This article makes the case for Chinese approaches, including getting involved in public health, being consistent in addressing local conditions, sharing China's experience with handling health services, and strengthening government-led action while being guided by relative policies. China has a lot to offer in the promotion of global health and in overcoming the challenges and risks that this goal currently faces. Thus, China should be considered an inseparable part of global health governance and bilateral health development cooperation.
中国参与全球治理，以联合国17个可持续发展目标为指引，秉持“构建人类命运共同体”的指导原则。中国一直在推进“一带一路”倡议和南南合作，为人类的繁荣做出了重大贡献。随着全球化带来的机遇，如世界卫生组织以及经济的蓬勃发展，全球卫生挑战也随之出现。这给中国在倡导“一带一路”倡议以及实施其应对全球卫生问题的战略时带来了一定障碍。全球卫生面临哪些新出现的挑战？中国能为全球卫生做些什么？为什么全球卫生需要中国？随着中国在新时代的全球参与不断扩大，我们试图回答这些问题。本文阐述了中国的做法，包括参与公共卫生、因地制宜、分享中国处理卫生服务的经验，以及在相关政策的指导下加强政府主导的行动。在促进全球卫生以及克服这一目标当前面临的挑战和风险方面，中国有很多可以提供的。因此，中国应被视为全球卫生治理和双边卫生发展合作中不可或缺的一部分。
