Centre for International Security and Strategy

The Centre for International Security and Strategy, directed by Da Wei at Tsinghua University, is a prominent Chinese think tank focused on international security and strategy. It has recently gained attention for its analysis of global power dynamics, particularly concerning the shifting role of the United States and China's foreign policy approach. The Centre's director has argued that China is pursuing an alternative path based on sovereign equality and multilateralism, rather than global dominance, as the US potentially withdraws from its hegemonic position. Furthermore, the Centre's analysts have provided insights into geopolitical conflicts, such as the US-Israeli actions regarding Iran, assessing the likelihood of prolonged conflict and the involvement of regional actors like Houthi rebels. Their recent commentary highlights the Centre's relevance in interpreting complex international relations and regional security challenges from a Chinese perspective.
