ajor changes unseen in a century are taking place in our world,
and the COVID-19 pandemic has even accelerated this process.
Global governance faces a real test of multipolarity versus
unipolarity, openness versus isolation, and cooperation versus confrontation.
With the changing international landscape, the fourth session of the
13th National People's Congress in March 2021 adopted the Outline of
the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) for National Economic and Social
Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035. With
a long-term and holistic perspective, the Outline echoes China's pursuit of
high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.1 This requires China and other
countries to empower the Belt and Road cooperation, among which there is
a pressing need for global health governance cooperation. When COVID-19
as a once-in-a-century health crisis broke out at the beginning of 2020, we
human beings have once again witnessed how ruthless a disease can be and
how precious lives are. Therefore, building the Health Silk Road is in urgent
need and of particular significance during the pandemic.
