The 19th G20 Summit recently concluded on November 19, 2024 in Rio, and given that the overarching themes of the summit were quite relevant to the developing world, China's engagements struck home with countries like Brazil and South Africa. From talking about its major role in alleviating poverty and hunger, to launching an alliance on Open Science and reiterating the importance of 'Friends of Peace on the Ukraine Crisis', China's pitch at the G20 clearly demonstrated its ambitions to play a vital role in the grouping.
In this episode of All Things Policy, Manoj Kewalramani discusses with Anushka Saxena how to see through some of China's rhetoric, and which statements and initiatives should one continue to watch out for. Manoj also talks about the daylight in India and China's perspectives on bilateral relations and the two sides' roles in the region and the world, as evident from the meeting between their foreign/ external affairs ministers on the sidelines of the G20 Summit.
