China Mocks Itself With Own World Court? Beijing To Serve Int’l Justice In Hong Kong | Grey Zone

China has just launched its own version of the International Court of Justice and it’s headquartered in the heart of Hong Kong. But who exactly is expected to accept Beijing as a neutral arbiter of global justice? And what does it mean when the court is built in a city where pro-democracy protests were crushed, and freedom of speech curbed? In this episode of Grey Zone, Ananya Dutta breaks down China's new "International Organization for Mediation." Who are the 32 countries backing it? Why is Russia missing from the list?

This story isn’t just about a building in Hong Kong — it’s about a potential new world order. The question is: is China filling a vacuum — or building one of its own?
