China will show how to tackle things differently
Most of the world's hopes for the outcome of the annual sessions of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee can be summed up in three words: stability, stability, stability.
Global uncertainties prompted by the election of Donald Trump as US president and the rise of nationalism in Europe have spread beyond the West to ruffle an already shaky international order. Amid the garbled messages of Trump's first 100 days in office, it is impossible to predict how far his threats of a return to protectionism will be put into practice and to what extent it will cause US-China relations to deteriorate.
The danger of US isolationism is that its effects will not be isolated; it will affect the rest of the world in terms of trade, economic growth and security.
