This webinar explored key questions such as Chinese state’s strategy in terms of its foreign policy, global investments, and its deployment of hard and soft power? What does it advocate for in terms of global governance? How does it mirror or differ to US or EU foreign policy? How can we understand the Belt and Road Initiative? What are the impacts of Chinese capital in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America? Are they any different to Western transnational interests? How can we confront the anti-China politics (or policies) and the threat of a new Cold War pushed by the political establishment of the US and other Western countries? How can we confront Sinophobia globally?
Speakers:
- Brian Hioe, activist in Taiwan, editor of New Bloom Magazine
- Lee Jones, Queen Mary University London, author of forthcoming book, Fractured China: How State Transformation is Shaping China’s Rise, with Shahar Hameiri
- Stella Hong Zhang, John Hopkins University and co-editor of the thepeoplesmap.net
- Walden Bello, Focus on the Global South, and author of China: An imperial power in the image of the West?
Moderator: Stephanie Olinga-Shannon, Transnational Institute
