China's hedge against geopolitical shocks

The US is trying its hardest to contain China's economic and technological rise. But protectionist policies and trade and investment restrictions will not cause any lasting damage to the Chinese economy. This is because the technological strength of China's economy has already passed a critical threshold. It is only a matter of time before China catches up technologically with the US, writes Zhang Jun, Dean of Economics at Fudan University Shanghai.

China's poisoned language

Modernization, liberalization and digitization have transformed almost all areas of China in less than a generation. Only the official language and propaganda of the People's Republic resisted all reforms. It is aggressive, ideologized and rigid. Since party leader Xi Jinping took office, it has become even more stereotypical.

What about the displaced climate?

Climate heating is already leading to global migration movements. We cannot wait until disaster strikes before we act. We should already consider processes for planned migration with dignity that will allow people in vulnerable areas to relocate before the worst impacts occur.

China's diplomatic balancing act in the Ukraine conflict

China's leadership did not mention the "situation in Ukraine" with a single word in its work report to the National People's Congress (NPC). Instead, it has spent the past few weeks trying to take a neutral position in a war in which there really is no such thing as a neutral position. The Chinese rhetoric is a diplomatic balancing act with an even more uncertain outcome. In the year of the all-important 20th Party Congress this fall, Ukraine has thus become a central quandary for the Chinese leadership.

Opinion

Only China can stop Russia

At the recent summit of the Communist Party and its advisory body, there was little or no mention of the Ukrainian war - a silence that seemed deafening. With its intrepid claims to power, modern China may be at a critical juncture.

Putin's Potemkin military

Russia may be militarily superior to Ukraine. But the passion with which Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom, combined with Western sanctions that make it difficult for Putin to produce weapons, among other things, could turn the tide of Putin's war.

The two sessions: Do not rock the boat in the middle of a storm

At the so-called "two sessions", China's National People's Congress wants to prove that the People's Republic will not allow itself to be swayed off its long-term course, despite a turbulent global situation. The challenges are numerous. And so are the contradictions in domestic and foreign policy.

Health Union: Is it needed?

The legislative package to create a European Health Union was the EU's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Health Union Communication stated more broadly that "a strong European Health Union will protect our way of life, our economy, and our society." This raises the question of whether the Health Union should be limited to crisis prevention and management or have a broader public health approach, writes Anne Bucher from the think-tank Bruegel.
