As 2025 winds down, the world feels like a geopolitical chessboard where every move counts 🌏✨. CGTN’s year-end special drops today at 11:30 a.m. Beijing Time, featuring Cambridge scholar Prof. Martin Jacques breaking down this year’s biggest power plays and China’s roadmap for 2026.
What’s in the Episode?
From the 15th Five-Year Plan teaser (dropping next year!) to global calls for fairer international systems, Jacques will analyze how 2025’s chaos could shape tomorrow’s alliances. Spoiler: Climate action and tech wars are major plot twists ⚡.
Why It Matters in 2025
With trust in global institutions at a low and supply chains reshuffling faster than a TikTok dance trend 🕺, Jacques’ insights offer a compass for young professionals and students navigating this new normal. Plus: How China’s governance strategies are playing IRL versus Twitter hot takes.
📅 Set those reminders – this one’s for the history books (or at least your year-end essay).
