Issues related to regime legitimacy and the CCP's development priorities have shaped China's sharp power approach. In the Xi Jinping era, there is some anxiety in the party ranks that external conditions are turning aga

While the relationship between climate change and food security is complex, most studies focus on one dimension of food security, i.e., food availability.
