Donald Trump just wrapped up his China trip. Putin is now in China.

In just half a year, China has brought together the leaders of the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council. Within six months, France, the UK, the US and Russia, the other four P5 members, have all chosen Beijing for high-level diplomacy.

Beijing is no longer just one stop on the diplomatic map. It is becoming one of the main stages where the future of the global order is being discussed.

In a world full of uncertainty, China is becoming the ballast that helps keep the world steady.
