The theme of ORCA's Global Conference on New Sinology (GCNS) 2024 is The Art of Power in Zhongnanhai
Zhongnanhai, often seen as a black box of Chinese power, is the nucleus of all decision-making in China. Enclosed within its walls are the power corridors of China that guide momentous change and continuity in its social, political, and economic landscape. While Beijing’s authoritative governance leads to the perception of a monolithic China, several actors and processes interact to shape, cultivate, deploy, and manage power that flows from the heights of Zhongnanhai to the edges of the world. Understanding this Art of Power in Zhongnanhai is instrumental for decision-makers around the world to gauge and prepare for China’s ambitions for superpower status. The Global Conference on New Sinology 2024 seeks to bring together the brightest minds in the field of Sinology to deliberate the instruments and impacts of China’s art of power. The conference will dissect China’s growing military strength and its evolution into a modernized armed force that is increasingly willing to assert itself in maritime and continental domains around the world. The conference will also analyse the inner workings of the Communist Party of China, its method of centralizing control, and the thought process of its top leaders. With China’s economy struggling for momentum, the conference will detail domestic economic headwinds while also examining external economic risks that imperil Beijing’s economic power. China’s foreign policy, keen to project a favorable image of China and develop a new type of international relations, will be studied to reveal the impact of various stakeholders participating in foreign policy implementation.
