THE near-simultaneous release of the Group of Seven Evian statements and China’s white paper on global governance marks a revealing moment in international politics.
China and the G7 are increasingly competing not only over policy choices, but also the narrative to define what the world’s problems are, which institutions should address them, and whose priorities should shape the solutions.
