In the 10th edition of the CGSP Round Table, Eric, Geraud, and Cobus delve into pressing global issues. Firstly, they explore the debate surrounding the term "Global South," which categorizes countries based on socio-economic and political characteristics. Is this label accurate, or does it carry derogatory connotations? This sparks a crucial discussion on the adequacy and sensitivity of such terminology in reflecting the diverse realities of these nations.
Moving on, the panel addresses the Western media's persistent portrayal of China as a looming threat, often characterized as "China-Phobia." They examine the roots of this anxiety and question its validity. Is the fear of China's influence justified, or does it stem from biases and misconceptions perpetuated by media narratives?
