China is building a competing system to the hypocritical American Empire Drunk on Power, based on common interests, beneficial deals, and opportunistic alliances, not purported philosophical values. And unlike decades past, China now has the military and the money to make it happen.
China is slowly decoupling from the US and is investing in infrastructure projects around the world, tying these countries to Chinese debt.
China sent diplomats to the Middle East in March 2023 to broker a peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran, but the U.s. still remains on top.
China is challenging the U.S. Led Order by working with Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa to create an alternative economic block. This block could become a rival to the G7 countries and could even create its own currency.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine showed which countries will fall on which side of the divide between the West and China. The 25 largest economies among these non-aligned countries are the ones that China and the U.s are trying to influence.
This Cold War is different from the last one because it is much more globalized and interconnected. Non-aligned countries will exploit this bidding war to get the best trade and security deals possible.
Brazil is a close ally of the United States, but they are also part of the Brics block with China, and they asked Beijing to help them negotiate the war in Ukraine.
Saudi Arabia is turning away from the United States in other ways like trade, and has signed a strategic partnership agreement with China.
Turkey is a member of Nato and generally aligned with the West, but has strong economic ties to Russia and wants to court Chinese investment.
Pakistan has been aligned with the US in the War in Terror, but also entertains investment and trade with China.
China is expanding trade with Africa, giving huge loans and building bridges, ports, mines, and Railways, and is garnering new friends and allies, laying the foundation for their competing World Order. The U.S. isn't just going to sit back and let this happen.
The U.S. is hitting China straight on, cutting them off from Western technology, and is encircling China with their military in the Pacific, sending billions of dollars of weapons and infrastructure into China's backyard. This could undo a lot of the globalization that has developed in the last 70 years.
