China-Russia Cooperation in the AI Era

In the third decade of the 21st century, the world is accelerating into the era of intelligent technology represented by AI, big data, and automation. China's rapid rise and technological breakthroughs are breaking the long-standing monopoly that the West, especially the United States, has maintained in the high-tech sector, and have opened up a new path to technological independence and sustainable development for the world, especially non-Western countries.

China Actually Thanks Trump

China will not actively provoke Trump 2.0, but if Trump 2.0 continues to use trade wars, technology wars, or other containment strategies to counter China, China will definitely retaliate with more experienced and precise countermeasures. The ultimate result will remain the same: China will become stronger, writes Wang Wen, Executive Dean and Professor of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies (RDCY), Renmin University of China.

The Ukrainian Crisis: Three Principles for Cooling the Situation Down

For most Chinese, Ukraine’s leader Vladimir Zelensky has been cheated by the United States and will eventually be abandoned. No matter who is elected, Harris or Trump, this result will not change, writes professor Wang Wen, Dean of Chongyang Institute of Financial Studies, Renmin University of China for the 21st Annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.

Russia Will Rise Again

Russia is increasingly able to grasp the rhythm of the battlefield, which means that large-scale military confrontation is coming to an end. Due to wartime changes, Russia’s internal functions and potential have been further stimulated, leading to revolutionary alterations in Russia’s development direction and path, writes Wang Wen.

The World in 2040: A Chinese Perspective

The future is always full of uncertainty, and only a handful of great people can accurately predict the future. As an academic, I have many worries about the future, wars, famines, climate disasters, viruses, economic decline, etc. However, I still hope that the world will be better in 2040. In 2040, the global economy will be even larger, capable of addressing the problem of world poverty, which now directly affects 1 billion people, writes Wang Wen, the Professor and Executive Dean of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China. This article was prepared for the Valdai Club Youth Conference.

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.
