China-Saudi rejection of "law of the jungle" world

In recent talks with leaders from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Chinese President Xi Jinping warned against a return to a "law of the jungle," where the strong dominate the weak. He emphasized that the rule of law must not be "applied selectively" based on convenience. This raises important questions: Are we still operating within a law-based international system, or are we drifting toward a "law of the jungle"? What would be the consequences if "might makes right" becomes the norm, and what alternative visions of global order could offer a path forward?
