Dean of @RDCYINST, Prof. Wang Wen's new book, "New Strategic Opportunities: China and the World Toward 2035," was launched at the international seminar. @WangwenR argues that China’s biggest strategic opportunities lie in its unshakable social stability and the shifting global landscape.

Senior non-resident fellow of RDCY, @vijayprashad argues that while traditional permanent bases are gone, they’ve been replaced by a "network of access" that grants US forces unimpeded entry, tax immunity, and exemption from inspections. Despite the $20M price tag, instability in the Sahel has only deepened, fueling a new wave of Pan-African resistance from Accra to Nairobi. The question remains: can Africa secure itself without surrendering its land? 🌍⚖️ #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">slguardian.org/from-baloney-t…

Deputy Director of the Department of Macroeconomic Research at the RDCY, Shen Yujing, argues that China’s next growth engine isn't on the ground—it’s in the sky. 🚁🇨🇳 chinadaily.com.cn/a/202604/28/WS…

According to Liu Ying, a researcher at the @RDCYINST, the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz has triggered a "structural shift" in global energy transport, positioning China as the indispensable provider of maritime security infrastructure.🚢🛢️seanews.co.uk/maritime/china…

@RDCYINST researcher Liu Ying highlights a massive shift in global maritime power: as geopolitical tensions rattle chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz, China has become the world’s "energy security shipyard." 🚢⚓ chinadailyhk.com/hk/article/632…

RDCY researcher Liu Ying warns that the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict has triggered a "compound economic shock" far beyond the Middle East. 🛢️✈️ From Europe’s 6-week jet fuel emergency to doubling fertilizer costs in SE Asia, Liu Ying argues that oil prices have detached from fundamentals and are now tethered to the "Trump Tweet Barometer." With the Strait of Hormuz still blocked, the world must brace for a long-term "Middle East premium" that will reshape global supply chains. 📉🌏finance.biggo.com/news/SAmut50BD…

RDCY Senior Fellow Ding Gang (@dinggangchina) argues that while Western think tanks obsess over "debt traps" and "authoritarian exports," the real "China Model" in Laos is found in an 8.6km irrigation canal. 🇨🇳🇱🇦 globaltimes.cn/page/202604/13…

European scholar @HusseinAskary calls the “China Debt Trap” narrative a BASELESS geopolitical narrative pushed by the West. 📉🚫 Askary argues that the real trap is the Western financial system: while Chinese loans offer 2-3% interest on productive infrastructure, Western private lenders often charge 6-10% to cover budget deficits. He emphasizes that the #BRI is about more than just roads—it’s a vehicle for "civilizational dialogue" and shared prosperity. 🌍🤝 163.com/dy/article/KR3…

Can the world still cooperate on global security? 🌍🤝 At the latest Power of Ideas forum, RDCY’s Wang Wen @WangwenR and leading thinkers argue that the Global Security Initiative (GSI) is now a vital "anchor of peace."news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-2… From @cgtnofficial

RDCY Dean Wang Wen @WangwenR argues that the expansion of BRICS and the SCO isn’t about building a new "bloc"—it’s about survival and flexibility for smaller nations. 🌍🛡️ news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-2… 来自 @cgtnofficial

Today, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) newspaper Social Sciences in China Today published an article based on an interview with me covering the BRI and the opinions I expressed during my Renmin University lecture. The article is titled "The Belt and Road: Paving a Path of Hope for Coexistence and Co-thriving Among Civilizations" (“一带一路”：铺就文明共生共荣的希望之路). This is the Chinese version: cssn.cn/skgz/bwyc/2026…

Pakistan is the biggest beneficiary of the Belt and Road Initiative, says Zafar Uddin Mahmood. Special representative of the Prime Minister of Pakistan for China Affairs, Zafar Uddin Mahmood, made a speech at the 2026 Global Leadership Forum, held at Renmin University of China (RUC). Hosted by the School of Global Leadership at Renmin University of China, and the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China @RDCYINST.

In an article, Vijay Prashad @vijayprashad deconstructs the "Oil-Dollar-Wall Street complex." He argues the US-Israel war on Iran isn't just about territory—it’s a battle for the Petrodollar. 🛢️💵 By demanding oil payments in Yuan for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is leveraging a "chokepoint" to bypass sanctions and rattle the $2-3T global oil market. The Petroyuan may only hold a 5% market share for now, but the move is already rattling the US Treasury market and shaking the foundations of the dollar-centered financial order. 📉⚖️ #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">slguardian.org/a-primer-on-th…

In an interview with @CGTN, John Ross @JohnRoss43, Senior researcher at RDCY, noted that China's poverty reduction achievement is breathtaking news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-1… 来自 @cgtnofficial

RDCY Senior Fellow Ding Gang (@dinggangchina) critiques the "Eurocentric" narrative surrounding Hungary’s recent election. He argues that while Brussels celebrates a return to the "European mainstream," political rhetoric cannot cure Hungary's deep structural economic sickness. globaltimes.cn/page/202604/13…

RDCY Dean @WangwenR tells @VietNewsGateway that China-Vietnam relations have entered their “warmest and best phase” in modern history. 🇨🇳🤝🇻🇳 With President To Lam choosing China for his first overseas state visit, Wang Wen highlights that the strategic guidance from top leadership remains the strongest political guarantee for bilateral ties. As both nations align their development goals for 2030, this visit elevates "strategic connectivity" beyond trade into high-tech innovation and digital transformation. 📈🎓 vietnam.vn/en/viet-nam-tr…

It was wonderful to conclude my 2-week tour in China by addressing a seminar organized by the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies in Renmin University in Beijing (RDYC). Fantastic and deep going discussion with the teachers, student, and media representatives, both Chinese and foreign, around the war on Iran, why it was launched, and possible outcomes. My conclusion is that the war was part of an American-Israeli-British attempt to "divide and conquer" this region and the world and to block China's and the Global South nation's work to "unite and prosper" throught the Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS Plus, and the Shsnghai Cooperation Organisation. If this war ends with a diplomatic solution, all these nations will "go East" and abandon the failed Western-dominated world order of death and destruction. We have seen much tragedy in recent years, but hope remains greater. ​I thank all the old and new friends I met during this trip. I put much hope in the Chinese people and leadership's role in turning this world from a jungle to a garden together with all people of good will and compassion in the world.

In an interview with @CGTNOfficial British economist John Ross (@JohnRoss43 ) argues that China’s massive investment scale—double that of the U.S.—is the primary engine accelerating its leap from scientific innovation to global market dominance in sectors like EVs. news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-0… 来自 @cgtnofficial
