Hegemony is over, we have a multipolar world already – Benjamin Chiao

‘Hegemony is over, we have a multipolar world already’ – Benjamin Chiao to Rick Sanchez in our brand-new Beijing studio for China summit special coverage.

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick brings not only his smile but those of the Global South’s leaders including Putin, Xi, and Modi as China hosts this year’s Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit. Handshakes and warm words alongside big projects and top-level analysis of the emerging multipolar world – with all eyes on the city of Tianjin. Benjamin Chiao, professor at the Paris School of Technology and Business, has joined Rick in a skeptical assessment of the Western pressure against emerging economies that makes the Global South unite against the condescending policies. ‘India could obey and seek oil in the Middle East or receive it from the US instead of Russia’ – Rick challenges, ‘Just look at the experiment in Europe’ – Chiao mocks that option as well as the EU’s anti-Russian policy. Professor Chiao has also praised the big celebration of the allies’ victory against Japan in 1945, sharing the story of his father fighting against the invaders for the freedom of the whole continent. Don’t miss this, as well as Rick walking and talking in the streets of Beijing, here – on RT International.

Hegemony is over, we have a multipolar world already – Benjamin Chiao
Sanchez Effect is a journalistic rebellion. RT’s flagship program is led by Rick Sanchez, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning newsman who’s made a career out of defying the status quo. “When only one side of a story is permitted, that’s when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it’s precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we’re told not to look.”
