Amanpour
Jan 30, 2026

As global power dynamics tilt eastward, Beijing is pressing its advantage, economically, diplomatically, and strategically, just as US foreign policy enters a period of upheaval. Elizabeth Economy, a former senior China adviser in the Biden administration and author of The World According to China, joins Bianna to unpack what she sees as Beijing’s strategy to dominate the next frontiers of power, and what it means for the future of the global order.
