Incredible insight from Dr. Tsang, esp on how Xi sees himself and having more ambition than a Cold War 2.0. How successful is the Chinese approach for the global south since many smaller countries are trying to balance China's sino-centric vision through western alliances like SE Asia's increasing collaboration with AUKUS?
