This year’s theme is “Dissent and Divergence.” Over the past few years, China has implemented developmental changes on nearly every front, from technology and security to environmental policies and human rights. Its zero-COVID policy, stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, and accusations of a Uyghur Muslim genocide in Xinjiang have engendered the disapproval of many members in the international community. Even some of China’s own citizens have taken to the streets to protest, as seen by the human rights demonstrations in Shanghai against China’s strict COVID regulations last November.
