Part of CCG’s “China and Globalization” series, published in conjunction with with Springer Nature, this open access book presents China and a changing globalized world from the perspective of 23 ambassadors to China on topics including ranging from economic growth to foreign policy and SDG-related themes.
Ambassadors in China are de facto bridges between the Middle Kingdom and the outside world, sharing their first-hand experiences while in country and helping their home governments make sense of the China puzzle, working to make sure everyone makes the most of China’s future. China and the World in a Changing Context has worked hard to create a balanced global perspective by gathering the views of ambassadors from both North and South countries that represent developing and developed economies.
Dr. Mabel Lu Miao, Secretary-general of CCG and co-editor of the series, gave welcoming remarks. Representing the book’s publisher, Mr. William Achauer, Editorial Director for Business, Economics, Political Sciences and Law at Springer Nature, also gave his own remarks on the book and its meaning for Springer Nature. The official launch of the book was then conducted by Dr. Wang Huiyao, CCG President and series co-editor, followed by his insights drawn from China’s recent “Two Sessions”. This culminated in a roundtable that included ambassadors who contributed to and supported work on China and the World in a Changing Context.
Aside from sharing commentaries on the book, the event also served as an open platform for foreign envoys to share views among themselves and with the wider community in what has become an increasingly limited stage for exchange on recent shifts and changes in the international context. Topics of discussion touched upon globalization, bilateral relations between China and other countries, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its implications for different countries, the pandemic and resulting issues of mobility, South-South cooperation, and multilateral international cooperation in global health, trade and investment, agriculture, and climate change.
