Chinese leader Xi Jinping has a very clear vision for a new world order. And although observers in the United States may disagree with that vision, Washington should not dismiss it, argues Elizabeth Economy in a new piece for Foreign Affairs. Economy is one of the foremost experts on China in the United States. A senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, she served as the senior adviser for China at the U.S. Department of Commerce from 2021 to 2023. She stresses that if the United States wants to out-compete China, Washington needs to offer its own vision for a new world order; it can't simply defend an unpopular status quo.

China is growing in prominence on the world stage, highlighted by its leadership roles in international forums like the United Nations, peacebuilding efforts, and pioneering of economic relationships through the Belt and Road Initiative. Though China's development offers new opportunities, its rise is also seen by many as a direct challenge to the post-World War II order largely established by the United States and allies. What is China's desired role in the world, and what might a future shaped by Chinese goals and priorities look like? In an interview filmed on June 6, 2024, NCUSCR Director Elizabeth Economy joins the National Committee to discuss China's new world order and the role of the United States in a world where China has greater influence.

Elizabeth Economy did her undergraduate work at Swarthmore, earned a master's at Stanford, and holds a doctorate from the University of Michigan. She served at the Council on Foreign Relations and the World Economic Forum before coming to the Hoover Institution in 2020. Dr. Economy is the author of half a dozen books, including her most recent volume, The World According to China. She has just returned to Hoover after a two-year leave of absence in Washington, where she served as senior advisor for China to Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. In this wide-ranging interview, Dr. Economy discusses China's ambition for controlling international internet traffic and Chinese President Xi Jinping's ambition to reclaim “Chinese centrality on the global stage.” Dr. Economy also compares the China policies of the Trump and Biden administrations and notes that both administrations—while agreeing on very little else—agree that China is a danger and must be dealt with, especially with regard to Taiwan.
But if you think that China can change and that Xi Jinping is not inevitable and Xi Jinping two and three and four and five are not inevitable, then I think that leads you to a slightly different set of policy recommendations. A set that's probably more open to discussion to ensuring that we continue to quote ‘Engage with China.'Elizabeth C.

Chinese political expert Dr Elizabeth C. Economy's new book, The World According to China, details China's role in the world and explains Beijing's ambition to sit atop a new international system as the global superpower.
Dr. Elizabeth Economy, author of “The World According to China,” showcases how China is striving to rejuvenate its vision of a great Chinese nation through a variety of programs such as the Belt and Road Initiative, which is an infrastructure plan that is developing airports, roads and other physical projects from China to Africa. Other issues broached included the possibility of China potentially filling a vacuum when Donald Trump, arguably mistakenly, withdrew from several UN agencies and agreements, such as the World Health Organization, the Paris Climate Accords and the Iranian Nuclear Deal; effectiveness of tariffs against Chinese products; and the need to have diplomatic dialogue between the US and China to avoid potential military conflict that many saber-rattling Hawks and some elements of the Military-Industrial-Complex are encouraging.
In this conversation, Michael chats with Elizabeth Economy. Liz is the author of "The World According To China" and let's us know what China is thinking and how the US falls into their plans. #DrivingWithDunne / #ZozoGo https://twitter.com/Dunne_ZoZoGohttps://www.instagram.com/zo.zo.go/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunne-a696901a/In our conversation, Hau gives us an insider's view of how the Mustang Mach E grew from concept to production in less than three years. As you might imagine, there were more than a few dramatic twists and turns along the way. Also, I am sure that you will be surprised and amazed by Hau's own personal story, from escaping war-torn Vietnam in 1975 to becoming one of the auto industry's most accomplished executives
Acclaimed China scholar Elizabeth Economy join Eric & Cobus this week to discuss her new book for 2022 "The World According to China." It's important to note the interview with Elizabeth was recorded before Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the expanded outbreak of COVID-19 in China but it's nonetheless fascinating to see how prescient many of her comments were in the context of the current situation.Also, Cobus and Eric provide an update on the latest Chinese trade figures and how the severe flooding in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province may impact China's trade with Africa in the weeks ahead. Finally, CAP's Francophone Editor Geraud Neema joins the guys for an update on the new challenges facing Chinese mining companies in Guinea.JOIN THE DISCUSSION:Twitter: @ChinaAfrProject | @stadenesque | @lizeconomy | @christiangeraudFacebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProjectFOLLOW CAP IN FRENCH AND ARABIC:Français: www.projetafriquechine.com | @AfrikChineعربي: www.akhbaralsin-africia.com | @AkhbarAlSinAfrJOIN US ON PATREON!Become a CAP Patreon member and get all sorts of cool stuff including our Week in Review report, an invitation to join monthly Zoom calls with Eric & Cobus, and even an awesome new CAP Podcast mug!www.patreon.com/chinaafricaprojectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/dictator-book-club-xi-jinping [Previous entries: Erdogan, Modi, Orban] The Third Revolution, by Elizabeth Economy, promises to explain “the transformative changes underway in China today”. But like her namesake, Dr. Economy doesn't always allocate resources the way I would like. I came to the book with questions like: How did the pre-Xi Chinese government work? How was it different from dictatorship? What safeguards did it have against it? Why hadn't previous Chinese leaders become dictators? And: How did Xi come to power? How did he defeat those safeguards? Had previous Chinese leaders wanted more power? How come they failed to get it, but Xi succeeded? Third Revolution barely touched on any of this. It mostly explained Xi's domestic and foreign policies. Some of this was relevant: a lot of Xi's policies involve repression to prop up his rule. But none of it answered my key questions. So this is less of a book review than other Dictator Book Club entries. It's a look through recent Chinese history, with The Third Revolution as a very loose inspiration.
A populous superpower, China could transform the international system. Xi Jinping's calls for China to “lead in the reform of the global governance system” suggest that he has precisely that ambition. The international community needs to understand and respond to the great risks, as well as potential rewards, of a world rebuilt by China. In an interview conducted on February 28, 2022, Elizabeth Economy describes China's strategy to recover the country's past glory and reshape the geostrategic landscape. President Xi's vision is one of Chinese centrality on the global stage, in which the mainland has realized its sovereignty claims over Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the South China Sea; deepened its global political, economic, and security reach through the Belt and Road Initiative; and used its leadership in the United Nations and other institutions to align international norms and values, particularly surrounding human rights, around its own. Note: Dr. Economy spoke in her personal capacity; all views expressed are hers and do not reflect policy of the United States Government or the Department of Commerce.
It was hardly a coincidence that Russia's President Putin waited until after the Beijing Olympics to invade Ukraine—a move that was clearly a courtesy to China's President Xi Jinping. Under his leadership, the Chinese Communist Party exerts nearly unfettered control and instant ability to implement, leaving markets to simultaneously understand what's happened and anticipate what's next. What do investors need to know? Chief Investment Officer Tony Roth is joined by Chinese domestic and foreign policy expert Dr. Elizabeth Economy, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and author of The World According to China.
Elizabeth Economy, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow, discusses the relationship between Russia and China. Robert Hormats, Tiedemann Advisors Managing Director, says if Putin wants to have a war, he's going to have to suffer sever economic consequences. Kelsey Berro, JP Morgan Investment Management Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, explains why markets are looking for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in 2024. Andrew Sheets, Morgan Stanley Chief Cross Asset Strategist, says markets are facing the toughest part of 2022, but should get clarity on inflation and growth later in the year.

This fall, Xi Jinping is likely to be granted an unprecedented third five-year term leading the Chinese Communist Party, after eliminating limits to his tenure. As the Chinese president tries to make his grand vision for the superpower a reality, and during the Beijing's Olympic showcase, we speak to Elizabeth Economy, one of leading experts on China about its successes and stumbles, China's hostile relationship with the U.S., and her book, ,The World According to China., See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today we look at China's foreign policy, especially in relation to its international development and education efforts. With me is Elizabeth Economy, who has recently published the book The World According to China. Elizabeth Economy is Senior Advisor for China to the US Secretary of Commerce.

The post-World War II international system was created primarily by liberal democracies committed to the rule of law, free markets, and universal human rights. They launched multilateral institutions to advance their shared values and norms. China has long said that it views the international system as unjust and unfair, but for a long time, it had little ability to change it. Today, China not only has the means, but its leader Xi Jinping—who is likely to get a third five-year term in power this fall at the 20th National Party Congress—may also have a vision for a radically altered international system. A new book called The World According to China makes the case for this proposition. Bonnie Glaser speaks with the book's author, Dr. Elizabeth Economy, on China's approach to the international system. Dr. Economy is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. She is currently on leave and is serving as senior advisor for China to the Secretary of Commerce. Views expressed are her own.

The discussion focuses on Dr. Economy's new book The World According to China. Dr. Economy is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and was previously senior fellow for China studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. She is currently on leave from her position at the Hoover Institution and is serving as a senior adviser to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The views expressed in the podcast and her book are her personal views and do not represent the views of the U.S. government or the Commerce Department. Dr. Teets is an associate professor in the Political Science Department at Middlebury College (United States) and associate editor of the Journal of Chinese Political Science.
In this episode of the China in the World podcast, Paul Haenle speaks with Elizabeth Economy about her new book, “The World According to China.” Dr. Economy's book challenges the notion that China's foreign policy ambitions are circumscribed by a set of narrow sovereignty interests. Instead, she explores Xi Jinping's vision to transform the global order through a combination of soft, sharp, and hard power. The book explores multiple dimensions of Chinese power, including China's attempt to reshape international institutions, expand its economic influence, modernize its military, and consolidate its dominance in Asia. Although the book describes China's reemergence on the world stage as nothing short of remarkable, it warns that China faces significant headwinds to achieve its international objectives. Elizabeth Economy is a Senior Advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce (for China). She is on leave from Stanford University's Hoover Institution, where she is a senior fellow. Dr. Economy's latest book is “The World According to China,” published in January 2022 via Polity Books.
The Global Demons Podcast: Pandemics, Cyberattacks, and Other Terrors in the New Age
What is Xi Jinping's vision for China's Future? In this episode of the Global Demons Podcast, Robert D. Kaplan is joined by Elizabeth Economy to discuss how China plans to secure its future from reclaiming its territory to influencing international norms and values.
In this episode of ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Elizabeth Economy joins us to discuss President Xi Jinping's vision for China. Dr. Economy emphasizes the transformative aspect of Xi's vision and his goal of not only changing the international system at the margins but also transforming China's role on the global stage. She discusses the importance Xi places on sovereignty and power, explaining the influence this has on China's actions in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the South China Sea. Furthermore, she argues that China's behavior today and ambitions for the future are a direct result of Xi's leadership. She points out that while his initiatives echo the ideas of past leaders, Xi has transformed them into policies. His willingness to embrace risk has largely allowed him to achieve his objectives, she says, but in some instances it has instead created international backlash and resistance. Lastly, Dr. Economy explores the integration of public and private sectors that needs to take place to manage competition with China. Dr. Elizabeth Economy is Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Commerce (for China). She is on leave from Stanford University's Hoover Institution, where she is a senior fellow. She was previously the C.V. Starr Senior Fellow and Director, Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations for more than a decade.

Panelists will examine dangers of sharp and soft power, misinformation, and attacks on sensitive electoral and physical infrastructure. The featured experts will be Elizabeth Economy, Michael McFaul, Abbas Milani, and Kate Starbird. On May 20, 2021, the discussion will focus on appropriate Responses, and whether and how liberal democracies should respond to these threats. Panelists will address the tools and policies available to combat such hazards, as well as their limitations. The featured experts will be Rose Gottemoeller, H. R. McMaster, Jacquelyn Schneider, and Amy Zegart. Both panel discussions will be moderated by Anna Grzymala-Busse and held at 10:00–11:15 am PDT via Zoom and are open to the public.

It’s no secret that China is in the midst of dynamic change. Through an incisive look at President Xi Jinping’s political and economic reforms, Elizabeth Economy analyzes that transformation as it’s occurring today. One of the nation’s foremost experts on Chinese domestic and foreign policy, Economy writes with authority in her latest book, “The Third Revolution,” about the widespread implications of China’s actions on the rest of the world. In an attempt to regain its past glory, Economy argues that China has embarked on a mission to reimagine global norms to better fit the vast nation’s “ambitious geostrategic objectives.” Elizabeth Economy was called by Politico Magazine one of the “10 Names That Matter on China Policy” in 2018. She is a senior fellow for China studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and a senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.

The China Research Group was joined by experts George Magnus and Elizabeth Economy for a discussion chaired by Jeremy Hunt MP. Given some predict China will overtake the US as the world's largest economy by 2028, how should we understand China's ambitions for the next decade of its economic rise? And what does China's economic rise mean for the rest of the world? Read the transcript here.
This week, Mike is joined by Elizabeth Economy, senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and senior fellow for China Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, to explore the evolution of Xi Jinping's leadership and China's current foreign policy strategy. Liz argues that there is continuity between Xi's strategy and that of his predecessors, but Xi's vision of reforming the global governance system and his increased risk tolerance are new phenomena. As Liz and Mike unravel China's foreign policy and its relationship with Russia, they ask if the United States could have predicted the rise of Xi Jinping and if the United States should change course in its strategy towards China.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has unleashed a powerful set of political and economic reforms: the centralization of power under Xi, himself, the expansion of the Communist Party's role in Chinese political, social, and economic life, and the construction of a virtual wall of regulations to control more closely the exchange of ideas and capital between China and the outside world. Beyond its borders, Beijing has recast itself as a great power, seeking to reclaim its past glory and to create a system of international norms that better serves its more ambitious geostrategic objectives. We also explore some of the most current issues including COVID, Hong Kong, and the upcoming Olympics. To help explain all of this, we interview Dr. Elizabeth Economy who is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and Hoover Institute. She has written numerous books on China including The Third Revolution: Xi Jinping and the New Chinese State. She is also author of By All Means Necessary: How China's Resource Quest is Changing the World with Michael Levi and The River Runs Black: The Environmental Challenge to China's Future.

In June 2018, she was named one of the “10 Names That Matter on China Policy” by Politico Magazine.
