Abstract: As a term, Global South is a hotly debated and discussed theoretical issue in world public opinion and academic research. As a reality, Global South is an important force influencing the international pattern, world order and global goverance reforms The rise of Global South is not only against the deep background of new changes in international patter, but also in strong sense of big power game. Meanwhile, it provides new opportunities for deepening cooperation in global development governance. Currently, the Global South countries are generally dissatisfied with the so - called international onder hased on frules that the Westem countries advertise and try to impose on the developing world; rather, they advocate to promote the international order to develope in a more just and reasonable direction. The BRICS countries, which include more Middle East and African countries after expansion in 2023, as the representatives of the Global South, will make use of the BRICS cooperative mechanism to participate in the global governance, and promote the reform and practical cooperation in the democratization of global governance system. China, as an important member of the BRICS, a certain member of Global South, and an important leader of South - South cooperation, is facing sever and complicated international situations On the one hand, Wester countries, led by the U.S., are taking various means of classification, tresting and pressure to divide and balance the Global South, even to exclude and contain China; on the other hand, the international influence of the Global South is increasing, and the consciousness of self - development and system building are also rising. In this regard, China should hase on its own development experiences, continuously deepen new - typed South - South cooperation among Global South countries, so as to contribute to the establishment of new framework of global development govemance.
