While China’s military power is still growing and not yet on par with the U.S., its ability to shape global affairs through economic and infrastructural investments is undeniable. This raises the question: Is China the world’s only superpower now?
The EU outranks China in terms of economical and political influence, exporting standards and even laws with market and soft power. Only took a couple of years until states all over the world started copying the GDPR, noone anywhere is producing phones without USB-C charging any more, and those are just prominent examples. And people don’t even realise how big of an impact the CSDDD will have.
The usa is undeniably a superpower, which is scary as fuck. The last hope is that the generals will refuse an illegal order, because you know trump will do something stupid if he survives until 2028.
He will be much worse for people in the US, since he is not as monumentally dumb as trump. He’ll keep his mouth shot and sign anything billionaires will put in front of him.
Fortunately, war with Denmark or Canada would be bad for business, so that will be prevented at least.
True, true! For now. I really hope US will reverse its current direction. A superpower needs both military strength and global influence through aid and presence. While the U.S. has cut foreign aid and withdrawn from international agreements, China is expanding its influence - especially in Africa.
US is not really withdrawing, just restructuring\diversifying its investments so to say, from guys like EU to guys like Milei/Netanyahu/Putin, which is not really new for US foreign policy.
It’s what Russia does that has cost it even dictatorships from among its former allies, but their strategy is based on “there’s no other place for them to go”, with Armenia and Georgia this is correct (despite all the pretentious words neither got hard backing from the west), with Central Asian nations not really, with Ukraine undecided.
The obvious difference - US really is what thieving jerks in charge of Russia pretend to be. What Russia can’t do, It can.
