More is expected of China in global affairs: Michael Vatikiotis

As politicians and scholars from across the world gathered in Beijing in early 2024 to attend various international forums, where they exchange ideas and thoughts about current international relations and ways out for some urgent regional conflicts, I got the chance to bring some of them to our podcast to share their thinking with our listeners. In the following days, we will release interviews with six scholars from China and abroad, conducted on the sidelines of the 6th International Forum on Security and Strategy,which was organized by CISS, Tsinghua University on March 27th, 2024. Joining us today is Dr. Michael Vatikiotis, Senior Advisor at the Center for Humanitarian Dialogue based in Singapore. As we dive deep into the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Ukraine and Afghanistan, as we discuss the role of China and ASEAN countries in propelling dynamic growth in the region, as well as participating in global affairs like combating climate change, hope we’ll all have a better understanding of China’s stance in many international affairs.
