Important Takeaways:
- Trilateral Commission calls 2023 ‘Year One’ of New World Order
- Members discuss China, middle powers and ChatGPT at meeting in India
- This year, 2023, is Year One of this new global order.
- At the core of this shift is the U.S. Instead of committing to a neoliberal, free-market economy, the U.S. government is driving the economy and key industries toward a set of objectives, such as domestic equity at home and competition with China, the speaker said.

If China decides to help Russia [evade] sanctions, if China decides to provide Russia with arms, this war can go on for very long,” one European analyst said.

- Still, participants were generally positive about the wildly popular ChatGPT and later jokingly asked the bot to write a poem about the Trilateral Commission.

- To create a new order, of which you aspire.
- Your goals are unclear, but some see the end,
- As a world government, with you as its friend.”
