In this discussion (on YouTube) between Hussein Askary and the Chairman of the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden (BRIX), Stephen Brawer, we explore the common grounds for a dialog of cultures between China and the West. We try to answer some questions such as:
- Is there a basis for a “community of a shared future for mankind” or we should just be interested in pragmatic trade in goods and services?
- What are the historic precedents for such a dialog?
- Why earlier attempts failed?
- Do the Chinese understand all the internal dynamics and nuances of Western history?
- Why the work of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz is so relevant now?
Please watch the video, comment on it, and share it with your friends and networks!
