Dr. Lanxin Xiang Professor of International History and Politics, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva
What is "international order"? Historically, Chinese views on existing international order have undergone several stages of transformation. The fundamental question today is whether or not China should continue adhering to an international order to whose rules China has contributed little. The future trend is that China has to be a "selective" participant in that order, and at the same time, it will try to make contributions to the changing rules of the game.
Lanxin Xiang is Professor of International History and Politics at the Graduate Institute of International Studies (HEI), Geneva. He was also Director of China Policy Analysis at HEID.
