Xi Jinping has added a third initiative to his vision of an alternative world order. During a video conference in the spring with party leaders from other countries, including Cyril Ramaphosa from the South African ANC, Xi presented his new „Global Civilization Initiative“ (全球文明倡议/GCI). The state media praised it, with the Global Times unironically dubbing it „Xivilization“ and calling it a „gift from China to the world„.
