Against a backdrop of mounting uncertainty in global politics and economics, the World Economic Forum in Davos once again provided a revealing lens into an international order in flux. This episode of Sinopinion is co-hosted by Da Wei, Director of the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) at Tsinghua University, and Shao Yuqun, Director of the Institute of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Studies at the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies. They are joined by Zhao Hai, Director of the Department of International Political Studies at the National Institute for Global Strategy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Drawing on first-hand observations from Davos, the three scholars explore whether the world has already entered a new international order, or whether it remains in a transitional phase, and what these evolving dynamics mean from China’s perspective.
