ABSTRACT
The most important news concerning China is the arrest of Huawei’s chief finance officer in Canada under the request of the US. Following this unusual breaking news is the huge debate among several Western countries about whether to engage Huawei’s products and services in the incoming era of 5G. In the understanding of many Chinese scholars and media outlets, this signifies that the tensions between China, the rising actor in the current world order and the US and its allies, the existing dominating actors, have reached a point of unprecedented intensity. China has strongly supported the Paris Agreement on climate change, and on the Osaka Summit of 2019, China has emphasized that China, Russia, and India should take more global responsibility and uphold multilateralism. The concept of multilateralism has been developing and transforming. The trade war between the US and China has caused much turbulence in the world economy in 2018 and 2019.
