    2026 Two Sessions: China’s Global Governance Initiative in action

    For the first time, the Global Governance Initiative, a framework for reforming international relations, is set to feature in the recommendations for China’s new Five-Year Plan. This comes as national lawmakers and political advisors prepare to gather in Beijing for the annual “Two Sessions” in the coming days. GGI emphasizes sovereign equality, international law, and multilateralism. It prioritizes the Global South, focusing on true multilateralism, a people-centered approach, and tangible results.

Host Tu Yun is joined by Professor Liu Baocheng, the Director of the Center for International Business Ethics, University of International Business and Economics, Dr Sean Chang, Associate Professor of Practice in Finance, the University of Hong Kong, and Professor Doug Guthrie, the Director of China Initiatives at the Thunderbird School of Global Management for a close look.
