Features: The signing and entry into force of the "Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons" is a historically significant event, marking the end of nearly a century of threat from chemical weapons and the opening of a world free from chemical weapons. For nearly a century, chemical weapons have posed a threat to human health and safety, and many countries and people, including China, have suffered harm from chemical weapons. The negotiation of the convention lasted 24 years and went through a difficult and winding process. China has always advocated for the early, comprehensive prohibition and complete destruction of chemical weapons and has made active contributions to achieving the convention along with other countries.
