Each year, political and economic elites gather at the World Economic Forum in Davos to discuss global crises, security, economic stability, and the international order. But how much real-world impact do these meetings actually have?
This video critically examines the statements, power structures, and geopolitical tensions surrounding Davos, with a focus on Western rhetoric, strategic interests, and China’s growing global influence.
