Why China’s Rise Cannot Be Stopped

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks to veteran Singaporean diplomat Prof. Kishore Mahbubani about his thesis that the 21st century will be remembered as ‘the Asian Century’, and how the West can prepare peacefully and optimistically for China's return as the fulcrum of world history.

Drawing on his books Living the Asian Century, Has China Won?, and Can Asians Think?, Prof. Mahbubani explains:

 Why the 21st century will be the Asian century and why this need not require Western decline

 How colonialism shaped Asian self-perception, and the need for intellectual decolonisation

 How other countries can adopt Singapore’s model for success

 His meeting with Fidel Castro, Hafez al-Assad, and Yasser Arafat

 The hypocrisy of Western power and diplomacy

 How the United States keeps the UN weak on purpose

 Why Pres. Trump’s China realism has been a good thing

 The threat of war in Asia
