China's diplomacy, an Asian perspective
Dewi Fortuna Anwar
China is fast deploying a forward leaning diplomacy to match its economic strength. Witness the recent diplomatic achievement by China of bringing Saudi Arabia & Iran together in the Middle East, traditionally an exclusively American area of influence. . How is this viewed from the perspective of Indonesia in particular and SE Asia in general ? The U.S. as a declining power relative to China?
Egypt
U.S. influence in Middle East
James Ketterer
China has become a significant player in the Middle East in the past decade with significant growth of inward investment, trade, and infrastructure construction. Many Arab schools have mandated learning Mandarin. Is America’s influence being eclipsed?

U.S. - China in the world
Kishore Mahbubani
The U.S. and China, in spite of strenuous engagement between the world's two superpowers ,are still at a daggers-drawn crossroads.
It is tragic that the most consequential relationship of our time, that has a direct impact on the security, health, and standard of living of the entire world, is at this crossroads. Worse, virtually the entire China/U.S. establishment in Beijing and Washington seems to have backed itself into a corner. Fresh voices are needed to move both countries off dead center. This is the focus of Polaris Live's winter 2022 season and of our opening conversation with Ambassador Mahbubani.
