Uncapped China-Russian Cooperation

Deepening comprehensive China-Russia economic and trade cooperation is actually a puzzle, as the two countries learn from each other’s strengths and make up for each other’s weaknesses, writes Valdai Club expert Wang Wen.

Why Xi Jinping’s Visit to Russia Matters

The key to resolving the Ukrainian crisis is not in the hands of China, but in the hands of the US and the West. China is not the cause of the Ukraine crisis, nor is it a party to the crisis. It is Western countries that are deeply involved in the crisis. However, China has not stood idly by; it has actively promoted peace talks with a responsible attitude, writes Valdai Club expert Wang Wen.

A New Era of De-Westernization Has Begun

The political equivalence structure between the West and the non-West is increasingly strengthened and is becoming an important feature of world politics in the third decade of the 21st century. Of course, the world in 2023 will not be mellow, but in any case, amid the “de-Westernisation”, major changes unseen in a century will continue to evolve in an irreversible way, writes Valdai Club expert Wang Wen.

Rediscover Russia, Rediscover China

Invited by Valdai Club, I visit Russia since the early September. This visit to Russia is my first time abroad since the COVID-19 outbreak, the first Chinese think tank scholar to visit Russia since the outbreak, and a visit to Russia since Russia’s special military operation. I hope to get to know Russia more deeply.

The Arrival of the “Far East” Century

The most urgent task now is to correct the past stereotype of “Far East = remoteness + marginalization”. We need to regard it as the hope for future development, and strive to promote the integration of the Russian Far East into the Greater Far East, that is, the process of East Asian economic integration, writes Wang Wen, Executive Dean of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies (RDCY), Renmin University of China. The article was prepared in advance of the Valdai Sessions as part of the Eastern Economic Forum 2022.

New Issues in Political Economy

In recent years, the United States has used high-tech, dollars, and trade as weapons to block and sanction emerging countries such as Russia and China, forcing more and more developing countries to consider the issue of “self-sufficiency”. From this perspective, the United States is the biggest troublemaker of globalization, writes Valdai Club expert Wang Wen.

Build a New China-Russia Railway to Accelerate Eurasian Integration

The expansion of China-Russia practical cooperation is needed now more than ever. The construction of a new China-Russia railway at the border of Xinjiang is a new lever to expand practical cooperation between China and Russia.

The World Is on the Most Dangerous Eve

More and more scholars estimate that the possibility of the outbreak of World War III is increasing, and have even concluded that this could lead to the outbreak of a nuclear war. The situation is moving in the direction of global disaster, writes Valdai Club expert Wang Wen.

Why So Many Chinese Feel Sympathy With Russia

The biggest tragedy of Ukraine is that it is not always a national hero who swings between Europe and Russia and lacks autonomy and strategic awareness. Their senior officials are politicians like actors, so much so that people simply chose a comedian as president in 2019, which is a really sad and helpless move, writes Valdai Club expert Wang Wen.

China's Control Over its Pace with the US

In the third decade of the 21st century, China has more control over the pace of development than ever before. Unlike Japan, China cannot be lectured and manipulated by the United States. China is not Iran either, pursuing a completely anti-US strategy. China maintains its power against the United States, and can defend its core interests without being led by a heavy-handed Washington, writes Wang Wen, Executive Dean of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies (RDCY), Deputy Dean of Silk Road School, Renmin University of China, a speaker of the 12th Asian Conference of the Valdai Discussion Club.
