The series of political ‘black swans’ in 2016, including Britain’s planned withdrawal from the EU after a referendum and Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections, stem from a resurgence of populism. Globalism, Internet innovation and the technological revolution, the most important achievements of humanity over the past decades, have profoundly reshaped world order, making the uncertainties of international politics even more evident in 2017. As an integral part of the international community, China has been striving to play a more constructive role in the new world system while continuing to deepen its reforms and maintain social order and stability. NewsChina interviewed several well-known scholars, politicians and business leaders to discuss the rise of global populism and its impact on the world’s political order and economy.
