China touts 'stabilizing force' role at UN, urges benefit-oriented AI, Cuba embargo lift

At the UN, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng framed China as a stabilizing force, called for AI development to be 'benefit-oriented,' reiterated demands to lift the US embargo on Cuba, and defended a two-state solution for Israel-Palestine. The statements signal continuity in China's diplomatic positioning rather than a policy shift, but reinforce its alignment with Global South narratives ahead of potential US-China friction.
