The Chinese Dream, an idea floated by Chinese President Xi Jinping, has far-reaching implications for every part of society in China. On the China Radio International, Carnegie Moscow Center’s Dmitri Trenin discussed this issue with Zheng Chenguang. He was joined by Ruan Zongze, senior fellow and vice president of the China Institute of International Studies.According to Trenin, the Chinese Dream program is a sign of recognition by Xi Jinping of a global trend that gives more and more attention to certain values in the foreign policy. For example, he explained that China has realized the importance of being perceived as an attractive state by foreign audiences. In order to create this popular image, Beijing has begun promoting China as an open country, dedicated to peaceful conflict management and diplomacy backed by active investment and a growing economy.
Turning to the bilateral relationship between China and Russia, Trenin suggested that current efforts toward Russian-Chinese cooperation should be continued and added that the future demands closer economic relations and more ties between ordinary people.
This interview was originally broadcast on China Radio International.

Donald Trump has demanded that European allies send ships to the Strait of Hormuz while his war of choice in Iran rages on. He has constantly berated NATO while the alliance’s secretary-general has emphatically supported him.

The EU is structurally incapable of reacting to today’s foreign policy crises. The union must fold the EEAS into the European Commission and create a security council better prepared to take action on the global stage.

The war in Ukraine is costing Russia its leverage overseas. Across the South Caucasus and Middle East, this presents an opportunity for Europe to pick up the pieces and claim its own sphere of influence.

Amid increased polarization and the influence of disinformation, radical-right parties are once again gaining traction across Europe. With landmark elections on the horizon in several countries, are the EU’s geostrategic vision and fundamental values under existential threat?
