Such policies have not raised America\u2019s standing in the world, neither have they weakened China significantly nor led to the progressive isolation of China from most countries.\n\nHe said that the Biden administration should press the pause button\u201d on the contest, especially when billions of people around the world are suffering from the massive economic recession caused by Covid-19. The only way to jumpstart the global economy is for the world\u2019s two leading powers to work together.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u3010INSIGHT FORUM x Prof. Kishore Mahbubani\u3011\u4e2d\u7f8e\u89d2\u529b\uff1a\u4e9e\u6d32\u80fd\u5426\u5f15\u5c0e\u62dc\u767b\u7684\u5c0d\u83ef\u653f\u7b56\uff1f - \u4e3b\u984c\u6f14\u8b1b \uff08\u8db3\u672c\u91cd\u6eab - \u4e2d\u82f1\u96d9\u8a9e\u5b57\u5e55\u7248\uff09\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GUusDCWWrG4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keynote Speech by Prof. Kishore Mahbubani At the INSIGHT FORUM\u201d organised by Our Hong Kong Foundation, eminent global thinker Professor Kishore Mahbubani called on the US to hit the pause button\u201d on its geopolitical contest against China amidst the raging global pandemic.
