Zheng Yongnian, policy advisor to the Chinese government, has claimed that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Elon Musk and Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, will be the biggest threat to China, as they will put immense pressure on China’s current system, and Beijing will have to compete with a more efficient US political system than before.
Zheng Yongnian, dean of the School of Public Policy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), while speaking at the Baichuan Forum on November 23, affirmed that the success of DOGE will bring a change in the relations between the US and China. He also pointed out that a competitive US system will also put pressure on European countries. Yongnian was speaking at the event hosted by the Institute for International Affairs (IIA).
