Watch: Deep Dive – Westad on power, ideology and the future of our world

Is history repeating itself or just rhyming once again? As the world faces deepening ideological rifts, resurging spheres of influence, and a breakdown in global governance, understanding today's disorderly world demands a long historical view. In this special edition of CGTN's Deep Dive, Wang Guan talks to Professor Odd Arne Westad, a renowned Yale historian and global Cold War scholar, exploring the evolution of China's role in the world, the myth of a "new Cold War," and the shifting balance of global power. From the rise of the Global South to Europe's search for autonomy and the China-U.S. rivalry to the prospects for "managed competition," Westad offers rare insight into the past to better navigate the present. Can multilateralism survive amid fragmentation? Can history serve not as a trap but as a guide? Tune in to CGTN at 2:00 p.m. BJT on June 20 for Deep Dive.
