China global leadership

To truly understand the impact of China’s global initiatives, we need to stop thinking in a status quo-revisionist binary.

The war in Ukraine has put the U.S. and China on opposite sides of the conflict. The larger issue here, however, is about who will control the world order of the future.

The 11 members of the expanded group have so little in common that it’s tough to decode what their purpose will be.

If Beijing’s current foreign policy is anything to go by, the most likely outcome of its push to remake global governance is disorder, not a new Chinese world order.

Analysis of 30 years of U.N. data reveals that China and Russia have been far more successful in winning support for their positions from the global community.

Everything that is being proposed at the BRICS summit is already being done – often more effectively – at the bilateral level by China.

China has been keen to expand BRICS as a direct counter to the U.S.-led G-7, but other members were more hesitant.

China is transitioning from one major global project to another. How are they different?

With the component of realist international competition removed, the G-7 and China actually share many hopes and desires for global development.

This isn’t just a feud between two great powers; it’s a competition for a new world order in cyberspace.

The GCI is an attempt to win global buy-in for China's principle of non-interference by conflating modern-day regimes with traditional culture.
