The Agenda

This week, the eyes of the world have been firmly focused on China, as leaders from across the globe gathered for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting in Tianjin, and then moved on to Beijing for a huge military parade to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War.

So what have we learned from this week's events? And what might President Xi Jinping's Global Governance initiative mean for the future?

On this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to Political commentator and author of "When China rules the world", Martin Jacques, Josef Gregory Mahoney, Professor of politics and international relations at East China Normal University and Zoe Reed, Chair Emerita of the Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding (SACU).
