GLOBAL POWER

A Doha Debates programme is examining whether China or the West will shape the 21st century, placing the question against a backdrop of shifting global power.

The programme, described by Al Jazeera Global News, asks how the two sides’ visions differ and whether the future belongs to one of them.

The description does not specify which aspects of those visions are being compared, define “the West” or identify participants in the discussion.

It also gives no arguments, evidence or conclusions. The question is presented as an open debate, rather than a finding that either side is set to dominate.
