As the world focuses on the ongoing war in Gaza. Countries have mentioned the two-state solution to resolve the conflict. However, the current situation is not in favor of that end goal.

As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing war in Ukraine, the war in Gaza, and the intense geopolitical rivalry between the U.S. and China, the US foreign policy landscape remains a dynamic and fascinating topic. Moreover, the upcoming U.S. election will have far-reaching implications for both U.S. domestic politics and globally. What are the latest updates on U.S. foreign policy? How might the upcoming U.S. election impact U.S. development and global politics? Given this background, FPCI convened an in-person public discussion titled “A Conversation with Ambassador Robert Blake: Updates on U.S. Foreign Policy and Election.”
The growth of China’s economic, political, diplomatic, military, cultural, social and technological power has become one of the defining features of the 21st century world system. Within a few years, China is set to overtake the US as the world’s largest economy. China has become a key trading artner to many countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. The growth of China’s power also comes with a greater sense of global entitlement and ambition. China’s rise has fueled a greater sense of insecurities in some western countries, who see China as a competitor and rival. The US in particular sees China as a country that has the capability to undermine its primacy in world affairs. Countries in the global south, with some exceptions, have generally been open minded and welcoming towards China’s rise. All in all, there is no question that China’s rise has reshaped the world order in the 21st century. Against this backdrop, FPCI will convene a Global Town Hall Series on “what does China’s rise mean to the rest of the world?” hailing speakers from North-South-East-West to share their views on how China’s rise is seen from their respective countries.
