Challenging the Status Quo: China and Global Governance

What changes does China want from the existing international order? What strategies it has adopted to bring about those changes? This talk will address these questions and explore how the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) may fit into a coherent strategy.
