World leaders’ visits put China in the limelight, but what can Beijing actually deliver? Is among the main developments being tracked today. The recent influx of international leaders to China may instead be a reflection of growing uncertainty in the global order.
In recent weeks, the back-to-back state visits to Beijing by Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump have put China in the global spotlight.
For some international analysts, the summits showcased China as a “stabilising force capable of hosting two major rivals within days”, a “broker between the big powers” and a “pillar of global stability”.
To others, the visits highlighted how China is becoming an “indispensable global power” and President Xi Jinping a “world leader to be reckoned with and courted”.
Chinese analysts, meanwhile, noted that over the past six months, numerous other world leaders have visited Beijing, including those from France, Britain, Canada, South Korea and Germany.
It was the first visit in eight years by a UK prime minister, for example.
