Comparative analysis of Chinese strategic narratives at the ‘Group of 77’ and the UN forum

In this episode of „Asian Debates”, Dr Przemysław Ciborek and Raven Yip explore China's strategic use of narratives within the United Nations and the Group of 77 (G77). The episode delves into the significant differences in China’s diplomatic messaging when addressing security issues in these two forums by analysing over three thousand statements and speeches by Chinese officials. The discussion highlights how China tailors its approach to resonate with Global South countries, securing their support during critical votes on issues such as human rights. The episode also examines the implications of China's strategy of desecuritizing economic cooperation, which contrasts with the Western approach. Additionally, the podcast considers how this nuanced diplomatic practice affects China's bilateral relations with developing countries and the broader dynamics of international relations. Join us in uncovering the complexities of China's diplomacy at the UN and its impact on global governance.
