Today, the world stands at a historic turning point amidst an unprecedented whirlwind of complex crises. The prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict are heightening global geopolitical risks and heralding a transformation in the political, economic, and industrial paradigms. Furthermore, the deepening U.S.-China rivalry is hastening the onset of a new Cold War era, exacerbating bottlenecks in global supply chains.
