In this episode, we explore the driving forces behind China's foreign policy, including its response to U.S. containment strategies, the trend of counter-globalization, and the role of digital technology. Drawing insights from the perspectives of YAN Xuetong, a leading Chinese academic, we discuss how Beijing navigates strategic competition with Washington while maintaining its opening-up policies initiated in 1978. The conversation also covers China’s focus on digital cooperation through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and its opposition to Cold War-era ideological divides in global technology partnerships. Join us to better understand the complexities of China’s approach to achieving national rejuvenation in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
