Overview 

Chinese officials frequently describe their vision for 'true multilateralism' and a more ‘democratic’ international order. What does China really mean by this? And how does a country like the UK fit into China's world vision? 

In what promises to be a wide-ranging discussion, David Rennie will share his insights, gained from working as The Economist’s bureau chief in Beijing since 2018, on China’s ambitions for the global order. 

The webinar will be moderated by Dr Philip Shetler-Jones, Senior Research Fellow, Indo-Pacific Security, RUSI.
