Xi Jinping, China and the Global Order

Improving global governance
Aug 17, 2018 | Lee Yuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, Kevin Rudd

In this address to the Lee Yuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, Kevin Rudd outlines ambitions and prospects for China’s envisaged future role in regional and global economic affairs. He cites the expansion of its military position in the South China Sea; the New Silk Road and its multi-trillion dollar trade, investment, infrastructure and geo-political and geo-economic initiative; and the signing up of most of the developed world in the first large-scale non-Bretton Woods multilateral institution, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), as manifestations of China’s ambitions. He quotes Chairman Xi Jinping’s statement to the 2018 Work Conference that a core component of this new ideology would be for China to: "lead the reform of the global governance system with the concepts of fairness and justice."
