Our latest on the YCW blog

For our latest YCW Conversation, we invited Dr. Jabin Jacob of the Institute of Chinese Studies in Delhi, Saibal Dasgupta of The Times of India, and Santosh Pai of D.H. Law Associates in Mumbai to discuss India’s position on China’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative. Are the goals and grand strategies of the two regional powers at odds or in alignment?

Danny Quah of the London School of Economics spoke for YCW London in January, but if you missed it you can read his excellent piece on the same topic on the blog: ‘Is China’s Collapse Finally at Hand?‘ Originally published by Asia House.

Our interview with Vincent Ni, BBC World Service, is a must-read for anyone interested in Chinese media. We talked to him about the Internet’s impact in China, China’s role in the upcoming U.S. elections, today’s biggest China news stories, and the state of journalism.

We asked Agatha Kratz, Policy Fellow for the European Council on Foreign Relations, to unpack the European position on China’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative. She told us about concerns in the EU, OBOR as a grand strategy, and China’s high-speed rail diplomacy.

Bill Hayton, a journalist with BBC World News and an Associate Fellow at Chatham House, began writing about the South China Sea dispute in 2011. We spoke to him about the core issues and how they are likely to develop in 2016.
