The world has entered a critical phase in its history, with an increase in the frequency of all kinds of confrontations between the major powers, as China and Russia are building a position for them. I went to the stage of promoting ideas in various countries of the world that reject the belief and culture of those people on the pretext of human rights and freedoms, as the West, led by America, is seen by the majority of the world that it interferes in their affairs and beliefs with those who use weapons—in many ways veiled with their influence and vast capabilities, which is contrary to the independence they claim, while they in their affairs with Beijing and Moscow find a more balanced relationship without any interference, and so they are better off for the West. The deal is mostly economic in nature. One of the sarcastic comments stated that a US official went to an African country and his plane landed at an airport built by China and was taken by car on a road built by him. China and met with officials from that country in a building built by China and the reason for their visit to warn them about China, the remarks reflecting the difference between a mother in her relations with developing and emerging countries. Turkey and China.
The form of confrontation between the three powers has begun to take on a largely different character from the quiet diplomacy that has been practiced for many years. The US imposes tariffs of about $350 billion on Chinese products exported to its markets, which have cost American households a thousand dollars a year, although the US may try to corner China in the future and protect its interests. escalates the conflict by establishing alliances in the Indo-Pacific to prevent them from moving to distant regions.
As far as Russia is concerned, it is trying to break it and defeat it in its war with Ukraine and destroy its economy, while some writers in the West claim that their country is Russian. More inclined to dismantle the Union, believing that Moscow is going to a new collapse in its territory Union, taking into account the mistakes made during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This should not be repeated, and the US supports Britain, the European Union, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea in all of this. The extra power they have is enormous and they have great influence over all the international organizations with huge economic power and control of the global financial system and the possession of technology and knowledge, but all this is not really enough. Two powerfully emerging countries in the world, it is true that they have the greatest power, but they do not have enough time to use it, because the world has changed and the weight of countries is different in different regions.
China has become the first country in the second world economy and global trade, and has a third of the world’s storks in its ports, and it has extensive partnership ties with nearly 70 countries through the Belt and Road Initiative, while the amount of development credit lasts. Over the course of two decades, more than $840 billion was distributed among 13,000 projects in 165 countries, which has strengthened its international ties, with thousands of Chinese companies spread around the world, and its ties to Latin American countries as well. have reached, that is, it has become on the borders of its rival US, as it accounts for about 30 percent of what is made in the world. It is one of the biggest influencers of the growth of the global economy.
Most reports about its future indicate that it will remove the US from the world’s economic leadership in the year 2028, while at the military level, it is a force to be reckoned with, and its military spending growth rate is among the highest in the world. World. a trade war against it, while Russia, which has a vast arsenal of conventional and nuclear weapons, also occupies the largest area of a country in the world and has about ten percent of global oil production, and has It is one of the largest global gas reserves and an influential player in international food security through its vast production of grain. The largest exporter of wheat apart from its mineral wealth. If the West tries to impose more sanctions on it, it will be able to turn the economy of some of the most important European countries into a phase of complete paralysis by halting exports of gas, as well as oil.
The European Union, which has supported Ukraine with money and weapons in its war against Russia, is also buying Russian oil and gas. Moscow’s oil revenues during the first 100 days of the war were $98 billion, while, ironically, 61 percent were European. Union, which imports about 25 percent of its needs. Russia, which has prepared for this war and has the capacity to tolerate sanctions in the short and medium term, co-exists with any sanctions, which means that Russia has been able to cope with the coronavirus pandemic that started two years ago. Again after the fallout, the West may not be able to afford the hefty economic bill for this war with high inflation and the risks of entering a recession, which may mean reaching an agreed solution to this crisis in the next few years. For economic reasons in months.
It seems that the surplus of power is not enough to prevent the emergence of new poles in the world. The effectiveness of these cards in the hands of the West has begun to decline because of the expiration of most of the time allowing them to achieve their goals. With the development of many powers in the world, not only Russia and China, but also in different continents and interests, their relationship with the East has changed more and oil has returned and gas to become the strongest pillar to support The growth of the global economy after efforts by Western countries to accelerate the move towards renewable energy, which failed to protect their economy in its first practical test with the Russian war on Ukraine, fell apart from crisis and political mistakes. If they are not really fulfilled, and what we are going through are the early stages of their impact.
