Hello and welcome back to What China Wants.
As you have all hopefully seen, this podcast/newsletter is now part of The Evenstar Institute, a non-partisan, not-for-profit think tank focused on measuring and understanding the evolving nature of national influence in the twenty first century. The China Influence Index is one of our core programmes.
Here is the latest (weekly) newsletter from the Evenstar Institute, with news on China’s global influence. Some of the highlights:
