2020年9月20日，应挪威奥斯陆大学发展与环境研究中心Dan Banik教授邀请，中心主任刘宝成教授接受其线上参访，就国内外学术界、媒体以及公众关心的中国发展问题深入交流。
Much of the discourse in the Western media in recent months has highlighted the rising tensions between the United States and China and the growing assertiveness of Chinese diplomats on social media and in other international forums, where they have passionately defended their country’s response to the Covid outbreak.
There has also been a growing interest in trying to decode how Beijing is reconfiguring its aid and investment policies and how and to what extent it will offer debt relief to developing countries. There are numerous media reports questioning the real motives behind Beijing’s attempts to further strengthen diplomatic ties with countries in all corners of the world and push the narrative that as the good brother, friend and partner, China is concerned with upholding the principle of building itself up while also supporting other countries at the same time.
And then there is all of this talk about a potential Covid vaccine, which when developed by the Chinese, could potentially be made available for free or at a subsidized price to countries that Beijing considers its friends.
But the perspectives of Chinese scholars and commentators on these matters do not receive the kind of attention they deserve. |
