It's Xi's World Now, and We're All Just Living In It
All eyes have been on China this week, as dozens of world leaders arrived to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit and China's 'Victory Day' military parade, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in WW2.
Not only was it a chance for leaders like Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and - perhaps most surprisingly - Narendra Modi, to mingle, it sent a striking image to the Western world that while the US-led global order under Donald Trump seems to be decaying, a powerful new alignment of countries is taking place, with China at the forefront.
Guests:
Einar Tangen - Senior Fellow, Taihe Institute and the founder and chairman of Asia Narratives.
Bob Carr - Former Australian Foreign Minister and former Premier of NSW.
Recommendations:
Hamish: Trump says he’s determined to weaken China. He’s doing the opposite - Peter Hartcher, SMH
Kylie: The Emperor of Gladness - Ocean Vuong
