The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has shaken the landscape of International Relations. It confronts the international community with fundamental questions and challenges on the capabilities and capacities of the international order and future developments of international security. In his lecture, Prof. Dr. Huang Jing explores China’s perspectives and positions on these issues and introduces focal points of China’s strategic considerations.
