China’s remarkable strides in advancing gender equality have positioned it as a global exemplar, according to analysts at the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women held in Beijing.

Experts, including Namtip Aksornkool, former UNESCO Gender Focal Point, praised China’s achievements in women’s education and leadership, urging the nation to share its successful policies to inspire other countries. Anna Rosario Malindog-Uy of the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute highlighted the dual significance of Xi’s speech, reinforcing domestic commitment to gender equality while positioning China as a leader in global women’s rights dialogues.
