China's Ambitions to Reshape Global Order in the 2020s Examined
China, under Chairman Xi Jinping, aims to challenge US dominance regionally and globally by reshaping the international order to reflect its preferences. While Beijing promotes a narrative of redistributing power away from liberal democracies, it maintains strict internal control. Analyst Ryan Hass notes China is patiently building influence without direct confrontation, focusing on revising US-led political norms while preserving beneficial international system features. The outcome depends on China's willingness to bear leadership costs amid uncertainties about potential conflict.
