On Tuesday 23 May, the School of Transnational Governance officially inaugurated a fully renovated courtroom at Palazzo Buontalenti with a lecture by George Yeo in the presence of the members of the STG External Advisory Board.
Renowned diplomat and former Singaporean Minister of Foreign Affairs, George Yeo, captivated the audience at the School of Transnational Governance with a thought-provoking keynote speech on China-EU-US relations. The event, titled "China in Europe’s Future and Europe in China’s Future," shed light on the evolving dynamics between these global powers.

The School of Transnational Governance was established in 2017 as part of the European University Institute in Florence. In the cradle of the Renaissance, we teach, train and learn by providing a platform where transnational policy actors across politics, business, civil society, media and academia meet. We are here for anyone with an open and independent mind, for thinkers and for doers. We bring together some of the best teachers, trainers and policy-makers from around the world. We believe the goal of public policy is to bring out the best in people.

You know what’s depressing? If the neoliberal ghouls of Europe listen to their sense of basic logic and ease things with China, the “left” will go even more unhinged against it.
Europe is already a world where the biggest propagators of anti-China sentiment are the ones who incorporate anti-capitalism as a central idea of their discourse. People don’t even have the “Donald Trump” reflex of seeing anti-China rambling as a conservative strategy.
Europe is stuck between all out war with the imperial periphery or continued stalemate in class struggle that translates in degradation of living conditions and real liberties for the people. I think the best option is the last one, but it’s frustrating to know that the success of SWCC will never be recognised and can never inspire the imperial core to change.
However for us living in this part of the core we need to remain optimistic about the great future waiting for the now over exploited countries. The joy of seeing Africa liberated from imperialism will compensate the hardships of living in the decaying colonial powers.
