Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – Professor Zheng Yongnian, Dean of the School of Public Policy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Dean of the Qianhai Institute of International Affairs, held a book launch and reader meet-and-greet for his new book, *Change and Resilience*, at the Shenzhen Book City Center on the 25th.
*Change and Resilience*, published by CITIC Press, is Zheng Yongnian's latest work reflecting on major trends in the international situation. Against the backdrop of global instability and escalating great power competition, the book systematically examines the root causes of contemporary crises, China's interaction strategies with the United States and the Western world, solutions to economic involution, and the future direction of the artificial intelligence era. With a rational and clear style, the book helps readers clarify the core logic of great power competition amidst the turbulent changes in the world and analyzes China's strategic choices and development path in the face of a complex international situation. The book is divided into six sections: "The Current Situation: An Era of Disorder," "War and Peace: The Possibility of Peaceful Rise," "Great Power Competition: A Test of Wisdom and Resolve," "New Drivers of China's Economy," "Opportunities, Challenges, and Focus Areas in the New Cycle," and "Where Should Education Go in the Age of Artificial Intelligence?" It offers profound insights into international politics and economics, as well as pragmatic reflections on China's development path, combining academic depth with practical concern, making it suitable for government officials, scholars, entrepreneurs, investors, and readers interested in current affairs.
The book launch event, hosted by the National New Book Launch Center, featured a dialogue between Professor Zheng Yongnian and science and education blogger Yuan Xi on the theme "Change and Resolve: Opportunities, Challenges, and Focus Areas in the New Cycle."
The two engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as "Global Changes and Order Reshaping," "Sino-US Relations and Great Power Competition," "China's Economy and New Drivers of Development," and "Artificial Intelligence and Future Civilization."
During the reader interaction session, readers asked questions such as "The Internal Logic of Recent US Diplomatic Actions" and "Advice for Young People Facing Uncertainty." Professor Zheng Yongnian responded to each question and provided further explanations based on the book's viewpoints.
Since its establishment, the National New Book Launch Center, located in Shenzhen, has consistently promoted high-end academic and cultural content to the public, and has become an influential new book launch platform in China. (End)
