Leading experts including Vuk Jeremić, James McGormack, and Professor Jun Huang analyzed the merger of geopolitics and geoeconomics, identifying the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Europe as critical friction points straining global institutions like the United Nations. The discussion highlighted severe risks from the South China Sea territorial disputes, a potential Chinese economic hard landing, and a looming $5.8 trillion shale debt crisis that could destabilize global supply chains. To mitigate these challenges, the panel emphasized the urgent need for US-China bilateral stability, expanded infrastructure investment through bodies like the AIIB, and economic development in source countries to address the world's 60 million displaced people.
