Don’t forget to book your tickets for our first gathering of 2026 – this is the year that is.
China is everywhere and in almost everything we consume these days – at least that’s what it feels like sometime.
And in almost all of the Trump-inspired crises are competing for attention so far this year, they have a toehold.
This is not just China….it’s China and the West.
In 2018, the Chinese Communist Party proposed an amendment to the constitution that removed the two-term limit for the presidency, effectively rendering him ‘president for life’.
But the return of China to the world stage is measured in decades, not terms – and America and the west are feeling the heat. We are in the midst of a seismic upending of a world order that reached it’s zenith in the immediate aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
But this is not an abstract notion: the shift to a bi-polar world will bring huge implications to all our lives, every single day.
China expert Isabel Hilton is our guide – Chair of the Great Britain China Centre, Associate Editor of Prospect Magazine and a distinguished, journalist, broadcaster and author.
