The former Ambassador to the United States, Milpry, pointed out that under the fierce geopolitical change, globalization has not died, but it will be re -wiring; some areas of the supply chain will have new opportunities and re -layout, and they will also reorganize.Some trading partners will be excluded.Facing the fragmentation of Sino -US competition and geopolitical architecture, medium countries need to play a more active key role.
Ashok Mirpuri on Friday (October 18) at the Wise Eye China Global Forum, expressed the above views.Alfred Schipke, Director of the East Asia Research Institute of Singapore, Gita Wirjawan, former Minister of Trade in Indonesia, Bi Jingquan, director of the China International Economic Exchange Center, and Ziad Haider, a partner of international enterprise management consulting company,) In the same discussion, we also expressed their views on how to strengthen international cooperation on how to strengthen international cooperation in the context of global multi -polarization.
Many experts have mentioned the trend of widening world division and discuss the possibility of cooperation.Xi Ruide said that vocabulary such as geopolitical fragmentation and national security now appears every day in the media.People can no longer find an annual report of a company and do not list "national security" or "geopolitics tensions" as a risk factor.
Xi Ruide said: "This reflects the facts, and the challenge is that if we repeat these terms too many times, everyone will treat it as the normal state without feeling risks." However, he also noticed another paradigm change.That is, China has been at the forefront of science and technology in some industrial fields, and there are new partnership between China and Europe, as well as new partnerships in China and other countries in the world.
Milpry said in his speech: "Globalization is not dead, but is re -layout."
For example, on the issue of supply chain, 5G and submarine cable projects have caused controversy. Enterprises must understand and be able to cope with these negative trends.In this major global topic of climate change, countries have rarely cooperated.
Milpry pointed out that now countries are increasing national defense expenses and preparing for new potential conflicts. The non -spread of nuclear has become worrying. Big countries may no longer be willing to abide by the rules. Small countries may decide to develop nuclear weapons.The prospect is pessimistic.
As a result, he suggested that as the competition between China and the United States has increasingly evolved into a firm camp, the pressure on the selection of border selection in various countries has increased.Role becomes a key country.
In addition, Milpuri also pointed out that although Southeast Asia has a harmonious relationship with China, it must also realize that the United States has always played a significant role in the region.He believes that countries in this region need to think about how to play a role, and shape Sino -US relations that have positive significance for the region.
Milpry said: "Eliminating one big country or another big country, we will not be able to deal with multi -level worlds. How do two major powers cooperate? How to organize ourselves? This is really a future issue we need to start thinking now,Otherwise, when these problems emerge, we will be at a loss. "
