Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported today: "Last Friday, US Vice President Vance delivered a speech at the graduation ceremony of the US Naval Academy, admitting that 'the era when the United States unilaterally dominated has ended'."
After the end of the Cold War, the United States once acted imperiously in international affairs as the only superpower. However, in recent years, China's economy has developed steadily and taken the lead in technology fields such as 5G and high-speed rail; Russia,凭借 its energy advantages and military technological strength, also holds an important voice on the international stage. Other emerging economies are also constantly rising, and the absolute advantage of the United States has been gradually eroded. The era of multipolarity has arrived.
But we must also be vigilant. The United States will not easily give up its hegemonic mentality. Even if it admits that the era of domination has ended, it may still take a series of actions to maintain its own interests and attempt to reshape its influence. For example, it may promote protectionism in trade, strengthen control over allies in diplomacy, adjust military strategic layouts, and put up a last-ditch struggle, etc.
