张维为教授出席《全球策略信息》线上国际紧急圆桌会议并发言

Below is a machine translation of Fudan University's coverage of the March 2 EIR emergency roundtable "Epstein and the Bottomless Depravity of the 'Elites.'

On March 2 , the world-renowned magazine Executive Intelligence Review (EIR ) and the Schiller Institute jointly held an online emergency international roundtable meeting on the theme of "Epstein and the Boundless Moral Decline of the Elite: The Urgent Need for a Cultural Renaissance." More than ten senior strategic scholars and political figures from Eurasia, the Americas, and Africa participated. Professor Zhang Weiwei, a member of the National High-End Think Tank Council and Dean of the China Institute at Fudan University, spoke as the Chinese representative.

Professor Zhang Weiwei believes that current global crises—including the ongoing US-Israel-Iran conflict, the Greenland crisis, and the Epstein files—are all interconnected. He stated, "These events challenge the bottom line of human conscience, the cornerstone of peace and justice, the norms of international law, and fundamental human rights." He pointed out that "these crises are the inevitable result of power becoming detached from the people, adhering to the 'law of the jungle,' and the moral decay of many Western elites. The Western democratic model practiced by the United States and many other countries is mired in a profound structural crisis—a crisis of institutional degradation and governance failure, manifested in weak leadership, incompetent governance, and moral collapse." He called for strengthening global dialogue among civilizations, integrating the wisdom of different civilizations, and jointly promoting a new cultural revival worldwide.

Speakers at the conference included Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder and chairman of the Schiller Institute; Donald Ramotar, former president of Guyana; BR Deepak, former director of the Centre for Chinese and Southeast Asian Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University, India; Richard Falk, professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University, USA; and David Monyae, director of the Centre for Africa and China Studies at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, as well as  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 more than 50 years of development, EIR has become a strategic information reference platform with significant international influence.
