China Seeks to Present Itself as 'Stabilising Force' in Global Politics, Analyst Says
Rex Li, a professor of international relations at King's College London, told France 24 that Beijing is promoting an alternative security order but has yet to offer concrete proposals for the Middle East conflict.
China is attempting to position itself as a "stabilising force in world politics" while promoting an alternative international security order, according to Rex Li, Professor of International Relations at King's College London.
Speaking to France 24's Monte Francis, Li said Beijing appears increasingly willing to play a larger role in resolving the conflict in the Middle East, though he noted that concrete proposals from Chinese authorities have yet to materialize.
"China is trying to promote an alternative international security order and project itself as a stabilising force in world politics," Li said, according to the interview broadcast by France 24.
Li added that "while Beijing is increasingly willing to play a more significant part in ending the conflict in the Middle East, so far we haven't seen any concrete proposals coming from China."
The remarks come amid broader discussions about China's evolving role on the world stage and its efforts to present an alternative to Western-led international security frameworks. France 24 did not specify further details on the interview's context or additional commentary from Li.
