The domination of the West in the world is coming to an end / the shifting of the weights of power is inevitable

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, newspaper ” Berliner Zeitung wrote in an article: The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) found in a survey that a change in the balance of power in the world seems inevitable.

It has been said: The recent meeting of the presidents of the superpowers (America and China) in San Francisco had not yet ended when a new wave of discussions started. Some Western media seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after US President Joe Biden told a reporter that, despite an apparently credible four-hour meeting, he considered his Chinese counterpart a dictator.

One ​​headline reads: “In the end, Xi remains a dictator for Biden.” But US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken took a sharp look to show that Washington should have no interest in a new turmoil in relations with Beijing.

Global Times The Chinese government expressed its satisfaction after this meeting and wrote: The meeting in San Francisco is a new starting point for China-US relations in a new historical period. This was a good start, China and the US have begun to “promote dialogue and cooperation in various fields such as diplomacy, economy and trade, culture, education, science and technology, agriculture, military, law enforcement and artificial intelligence”.

The publication wrote: Through this cooperation, the relationship between China and the United States can be guided in a healthy, stable and stable path, and “a world characterized by turmoil and change” can be Expect “more security and stability”. Considering the sharp tone that the Global Times in particular has put forward in recent months, these writings are surprisingly compassionate.

On the American side, doubt and There is more doubt about the flexibility of this relationship. The New York Times writes that China desperately needed this meeting because its economy is suffering from US sanctions and is facing a real problem, especially in the chip industry. After all: in the military sector, people want to reconnect with each other to avoid a nuclear disaster due to a “misunderstanding”.

However , it seems that all these considerations have given way to a new reality: the results of a global survey conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) on the eve of this summit, show that the influence of the West on the world order system and The bipolar orientation of the foreign policy of Washington and Brussels will not last in the time of increasing multipolarity.

Therefore, a large part of the West is “pessimistic” about the future. On the other hand, those surveyed in the rest of the world are “optimistic” about their future. Majorities around the world believe that “the European Union may collapse within the next 20 years and it is conceivable that the United States may no longer survive as a democracy. According to the report’s authors, this “points to a breakdown in the balance of power.”

The poll also shows that many — and in some cases even the vast majority – They are ready to cooperate with China and its partners in international affairs, including trade relations. China’s economic presence in its territory is also “widely” accepted. According to this survey, of course, the majority prefer to cooperate with the Americans in terms of military and security. But confidence in America’s military superiority seems to be waning.

According to this survey outside Europe and the United States, most respondents believe that Russia in A war against Ukraine would be won: 86% in Russia, 74% in China, 70% in Saudi Arabia, and 60% in India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Turkey said they think “Russia will probably” in It will win the conflict five years from now. But in the United States, Europe and South Korea, there are no majorities for a Russian victory, and in the United States a 50 percent majority believe that a Ukrainian victory in that time frame is just as likely.
