From the perspective of the reform of global governance,this paper conceptualizes the Global De-velopment Initiative as a new type of international norm for comprehensive governance advocated by China.The essence of this new international norm lies in the priority development and people-centered principles,which are specifically mani-fested in a novel governance concept that integrates develop-ment with security and harmonizes the interests of people with those of nation-states.In practical terms,this new international norm has its roots in China's recent successful ef-forts to reshape regional governance within its neighboring ar-eas through institutions such as Lancang-Mekong Cooperation and Shanghai Cooperation Organization.For example,within the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation framework,China has not only addressed downstream countries'requests for cross-border water resource cooperation but also fostered cross-border secu-rity cooperation and collaboration in social and cultural do-mains.This balances the existing mechanism's inclination to-wards economic cooperation and inter-state collaboration while achieving integrated governance encompassing develop-ment,security,people,and state interests.Similarly,in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,alongside advancing Russia's preference for security cooperation,China has pro-posed economic cooperation and cultural exchange in Central Asia.This serves to balance an organizational bias towards se-curity cooperation and inter-state coordination while realizing comprehensive governance integrating development with secu-rity considerations and reconciling individual interests with those of nation-states.
