The special political and Decolonization Committee of the 76th United Nations General Assembly held a general debate. Ambassador Geng Shuang, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, said in his speech that China urges countries that have pursued or benefited from the colonial system to show political will, bear historical responsibility, compensate for the consequences of colonialism, and stop pursuing colonial thinking in international relations to the detriment of the interests of other countries. Geng Shuang said that colonialism has brought great disasters to the world and left a dark page in human history. In those years, a few Western countries practiced slavery in the colonies, carried out ethnic cleansing, plundered resources and wealth, created appalling human tragedies and committed countless serious crimes. Today, the colonial era is over, but the legacy of colonialism is still poisoning the vast number of former colonial countries and hindering and restricting their development. The tide of colonial thought has not yet ebbed and is still popular in the form of power politics and bullying. Geng Shuang pointed out that the international community should take the Fourth International Decade for the elimination of colonialism (2021-2030) as an opportunity to jointly liquidate the harm of colonialism, eliminate the legacy of colonialism, maintain international fairness and justice, and promote the establishment of a more just and reasonable international political and economic order. Geng Shuang expressed China's support for continuing to promote the decolonization process of the 17 UN non self governing territories and the efforts of the peoples of the non self governing territories to strive for the right to self-determination. He called on the administering Power government to take effective measures to promote development, protect human rights and protect the environment on the ground. Geng Shuang reiterated that China supports Argentina's legitimate claim for sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands and has always advocated the settlement of territorial disputes between countries through peaceful negotiations in accordance with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. China hopes that Britain will respond positively to Argentina's request, start dialogue and negotiations as soon as possible and find a peaceful, just and lasting solution in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions. The special political and Decolonization Committee of the general assembly (hereinafter referred to as "the Fourth Committee of the General Assembly") is responsible for dealing with political issues other than disarmament and security, as well as issues related to the elimination of colonialism. In 2020, the 75th General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring 2021-2030 the Fourth International Decade for the eradication of colonialism, reaffirming that the eradication of colonialism is one of the priorities of the United Nations, and calling on Member States to take all necessary steps to completely eradicate colonialism.
