Brian Wong on Chinese soft power, relations between China and the West, and misconceptions in mass discourse

‘China is different, China does things differently, but it also learns from, imitates, and takes the very best of the West and incorporates that into China.’

In this episode, Manas Chawla speaks with Brian Wong, the founder of the Oxford Political Review, about the limitations of mainstream Western understanding of China. He also highlights the importance of states learning from one another as well as being more creative and pragmatic in their interactions.

Brian Wong is currently completing a PhD in Political Theory at the University of Oxford. He is the founder of the Oxford Political Review, a publication covering current affairs, political science and international relations, as well as co-founder of the Oxford Policy Advisory Group. He is also a columnist for the Hong Kong Economic Journal and TIME, and he writes regularly for publications such as the Financial Times and Foreign Policy on topics such as East Asian politics.

During his discussion with Manas, Brian shares his unique perspectives that seek to fuse current affairs and political theory. He also provides some practical tips for understanding China and its relations with other states.
