Geopolitics & Conflicts– Is China’s Balancing Act a Global Good? | Conference Highlights

In a world of shifting power dynamics, can China help steady the global order — or is strategic rivalry pushing us toward a zero-sum future? This highlight reel from the Global Institute For Tomorrow’s conference, “Geopolitics & Conflicts – Is China’s Balancing Act a Global Good?”, distills the most provocative moments across both panels and the keynote: from mediation before militarisation and “development as diplomacy” to Africa’s agency, trade wars, tech decoupling, and climate responsibility. The result is a fast, balanced snapshot of how scholars and practitioners think China should and should not underwrite stability in a fractured, multipolar era. Key Highlights: 00:00: "World historical moment" - Shift in global power and perception, highlighting the decline of American legitimacy. 01:15: China's rise as a post-Western superpower, liberating itself from Western imperialism since 1949. 02:00: Critique of Western narrative portraying China as a threat, emphasising its non-aggressive model. 04:00: Defense of China’s constructive engagement as solution-oriented, aligned with international law. 05:00: Questioning China’s global leadership potential, particularly on Palestine and Gaza. 08:00: China’s reluctance to dominate mediation, preferring to support regional bodies like ASEAN. 09:30: China’s role in Africa and global initiatives like BRI, navigating a fragmented global system. 11:00: Cultural differences shaping China’s non-interventionist stance and equal treatment of nations. 12:00: China’s potential leadership in climate change, as a major emitter and renewable energy leader. 15:00: China’s contribution to global mediation practices and learning processes. 16:30: Debate on China’s non-interference policy and principles of mediation. 18:00: Summary of China’s growth and potential to shape a multipolar world. 📌 Recorded live at the ‪@GlobalInstituteForTomorrow‬'s conference on 12 September 2025.
