Zheng Yongnian, a prominent Chinese political scientist who advises Beijing, said an institutionalised China-US "G2" framework could offer a "structural guarantee" for global peace, as trade and technology tensions between the two countries persist.

Zheng said the world faces four intertwined challenges: geopolitical conflicts, increasingly "religionised" societies, imbalances in the global economy, and the erosion of the UN-centred governance system.

The remarks form part of a broader discussion within Beijing policy circles about establishing a more structured relationship with Washington. Analysts say how the proposal would be received in the US remains uncertain.
