2025 in review with Professor Martin Jacques

As China prepares to launch its 15th Five-Year Plan, it enters a new phase of modernization driven by innovation and long-term planning. What does this mean for the global economy – and for a world facing rising uncertainty? In this year-end special on The Hub, Huang Jiyuan speaks with Martin Jacques, former senior fellow at the University of Cambridge, on China's development path, the outlook for China-U.S. relations, China's role in the Global South, and whether cooperation and civilizational understanding can help rebuild trust in a fragmented world.
