Addressing an audience of academics, diplomats, and policy experts, Mahbubani asked a provocative question: “What is China really threatening?” He argued that China is not undermining the liberal international order, but rather the global balance of power—specifically, the dominance of the United States. “Let’s be honest,” Mahbubani said. “China is threatening the global balance of power, not the liberal international order.” Closing his remarks, Mahbubani urged Western nations to face reality and adapt wisely. “The liberal order isn’t collapsing—it’s evolving. The best way to preserve it is not to contain China, but to engage it.” He concluded with a clear message: “If America truly wants to defend the liberal international order, it must stop seeing China as an enemy—and start treating it as a partner.” In the crowded halls of debate and diplomacy, few speakers command the stage like Professor Kishore Mahbubani—a man who doesn’t just argue; he illuminates. His recent address on China and the liberal international order was not merely a speech—it was a masterclass in intellectual persuasion, historical depth, and rhetorical grace. For students of international relations, public policy, and the art of speaking truth to power, Mahbubani’s words offer a living guide on how to think, frame, and deliver an argument that moves minds and reshapes perspectives. 📢 Are you a student of international relations, public speaking, politics, or global policy?

It's refreshing to hear him speak again! 👍 28 Reply @pcwl-2025 1 day ago The US and the West are declining FAST ! The US and the West are declining. China and others are rising. The US and the West will decline EVEN FASTER without China and other developing countries. The US and the West depend on cost effective products made in China and others to survive ! One way or another, the West is doomed. You know why ? Most of the Western world didn't get rich and prosperous because of democracy or human rights protection, it was colonialism and imperialism that they robbed, enslaved, mass murdered, exploited and stole from weak countries for centuries leaving those weak countries even weaker and poorer. Now with China rising, those Western countries can NO LONGER rob, enslave, mass murder, exploit and steal from weak countries as easily as it was before. The West is doomed as there is NO WAY they can compete with China and other developing countries when they cannot rob, mass murder, enslave, exploit and steal from other countries ! 18 Reply @rick4022 1 day ago He speaks truth to power.

The trends are supported/explained in "The Rise & Fall of the Great Powers" by Paul Kennedy (1987). 4 Reply @ikkong8436 1 day ago Great idea, Prof Kishore. I couldn't agree with Prof more that the major powers, especially the US and its allies, should sincerely support what he called the Liberal International Order, not the frankenstein 'Rules Based International Order' dictated and imposed on the world by the US and the west. 5 Reply 1 reply @normantan7796 1 day ago I am changing my underwear every day🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so the world must change. 3 Reply @kittymoosia7130 12 hours ago I like prof Kishore’s point .

These are sometimes followed by resource exploitation, as seen in places like Iraq, Syria, Libya—and possibly soon, Ukraine and Gaza. 3 Reply @ahkoy973 4 days ago Pilsbury is still living in the past...

It is a good thing that the rise of China will force the west to pickup or rework its attitude for both parents and kids. They need to rework a lot to get themselves relevant in the modern world.
