Professor Zhang Weiwei attended and spoke at the Global Strategy Information International Emergency Roundtable Conference.
On January 12 , the world-renowned magazine * Executive Intelligence Review * ( EIR ) held an emergency international roundtable meeting. Nearly 20 senior political and strategic experts from the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa participated, engaging in in-depth discussions on the topic of " The Situation is More Serious Than Imagined: The Strategic Implications of the Attacks on Venezuela and How to Bring the World Back to a Safe Path ." Professor Zhang Weiwei, a member of the National High-End Think Tank Council and Dean of the China Institute at Fudan University, attended the online meeting as the Chinese representative and delivered a speech.
The participants strongly condemned the United States' aggressive actions against Venezuela, deeming them a blatant violation of international law based on the UN Charter and a serious infringement on Venezuela's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In his speech, Professor Zhang Weiwei pointed out the shortsightedness of this US action, stating, "It will inevitably backfire on the US itself, severely damaging its soft power, shaking its alliance system, and dismantling the so-called ' rules-based international order ' that the West has long promoted ." Professor Zhang further pointed out, "It has also sounded an alarm for a host of US allies. For many years, these countries have blindly followed the US in promoting so-called ' values-based diplomacy , ' using the guise of ' humanitarian intervention ' to instigate color revolutions in many countries, bringing immeasurable and profound suffering to the people of many countries around the world."
Professor Zhang Weiwei emphasized: "The international legal system centered on the UN Charter was established after learning from the painful lessons of the two world wars that claimed the lives of tens of millions of people. It is a historic milestone in maintaining global peace and development. All countries have a responsibility to jointly uphold the post-war international order based on the UN Charter and resolutely resist any attempt to erode its foundations—whether it is Trump's bullying behavior, the so-called ' humanitarian intervention ' promoted by the West under various pretexts , or the resurgence of Japanese militarism that brought profound disasters to many countries."
Speakers at the conference included Helga Zepp-LaRouche , founder and chairman of the Schiller Institute; Donald Ramotar, former president of Guyana; Naledi Pandor, former South African Minister of International Relations and Cooperation; Hans-Christof von Sponeck, former UN Assistant Secretary-General; Chas W. Freeman, Jr., former US Assistant Secretary of Defense; and Dmitri Trenin, director of the Institute of World Military Economics and Strategy at the Higher School of Economics, Russia, among other international political figures and renowned scholars.
Founded in 1974 by American economist and political activist Lyndon LaRouche, the Executive Intelligence Review ( EIR ) is an information journal focused on global strategic analysis and policy research. It analyzes major international issues from a cross-regional and interdisciplinary perspective, providing policymakers, experts, scholars, and readers concerned with the shared future of humanity with an analytical framework independent of mainstream Western narratives through in-depth reports, situation assessments, and strategic dialogues. After 50 years of development, EIR has become a strategic information reference platform with significant international influence.
