The Heat: China's global leadership

In January, Donald Trump will be sworn in as president of the United States.

So far, the billionaire businessman has proven to be unpredictable and there are any many questions about the type of policies he will implement once in office. Some areas like trade, climate change and security issues, may impact China. And, if as some analysts predict, Trump chooses to be more concerned about domestic U.S. issues, like the economy, what are the implications for China – its role in the world and global leadership?

For more on China’s changing position in the world, CCTV’s Tang Bo reports from Beijing.

Tonight’s panel discusses what expectations Donald Trump faces when he is in office as president of the United States next year and what impact that might that have on China’s global leadership on areas from trade to climate change:

  • He Wenping, professor and director of African Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
  • PJ Crowley, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for public affairs. 
  • Victor Ai, international commentator and former TV host with CCTV’s Spanish Channel.
  • Sourabh Gupta, resident senior fellow at the Institute for China-America Studies.
