Weapons of Influence: China, the West, and the New Global Flashpoints

29 Jun 2025

17:00 - 18:00

City Hall

Rising tensions between India and Pakistan are once again drawing global attention – but they’re also part of a much bigger story. As China and the West compete for influence through military technology, strategic alliances, and shifting defence deals, regional conflicts like the one over Kashmir are becoming flashpoints in a wider struggle for global power.

We explore the roles China and the West are playing behind the scenes. Our experts discuss how their rivalry is reshaping not just diplomacy and security, but the military and economic order itself. This timely event explores how today’s conflicts are part of a deeper contest to define the world’s next chapter.
