Last week, ASHK hosted author Chandran Nair and Chairman Ronnie C. Chan for a timely talk on “Understanding China in a Fractured World.”
The conversation went beyond headlines to explore China’s governance model, its global influence, and how other countries view its development path. Key insights included:
✅ Why many nations see China as “getting something right” through public goods, stability, and environmental progress
✅ How China’s institutional approach may be more prepared to regulate AI and corporate power than the U.S. model
✅ The gap between perception and reality in how China governs
The full house and engaged Q&A showed a real hunger for nuanced, evidence-based discussion on China’s role today.
