The west has an uneasiness when it comes to dealing with China. Although it is their biggest trading partner, many governments are concerned about a more confident, ambitious and militarily capable China. Its activities in the South China Sea, its ambitions to develop new links to Europe across the Asian continent, and the recent crackdown on dissent and opponents appear to confirm those most worried about just what China is trying to do in the world.

But how does China perceive what it is doing? What ideas shape how China acts on the global stage and what can we expect from China in the coming years? This public forum brings three of China's most influential foreign policy experts together to reflect on these important questions.
