On October 16, Victor De Decker, a research fellow in Geoeconomics at the Egmont Institute, delivered an lecture to bachelor students at the Artevelde School of Journalism in Ghent. The lecture focused on the rise of China as a global power, examining its growing influence in economic, political, and strategic arenas worldwide. After the lecture, students were challenged to assess China’s role and impact on various global issues, including Taiwan, the war in Ukraine, and international efforts to combat climate change. This exercise aimed to deepen their understanding of China’s role in shaping the future of global affairs.
