Shi Qiping has a clear understanding! Shi Qiping stated that the decline of American hegemony has left the world calling for China to play a greater role! On May 20th, Shi Qiping wrote an article stating that American hegemony has waned, it can no longer command the world, and worse still, America continues to cause trouble globally, being nothing but a global troublemaker. Against this backdrop, American elites have realized that the era of American leadership in the world is coming to an end.
For instance, Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs said that the era of American leadership has ended, and China must step up to take on global responsibilities. While Thomas Friedman said, I see the future, and it's not in America. Even more directly, Musk said, China is the future. Shi Qiping pointed out that American elites are increasingly openly discussing this issue, which is not coincidental, but rather reflects the internal and external decline of American hegemony. At this time, China's role in the future global landscape is increasingly making countries look forward to it.
What do we think of Shi Qiping's viewpoint? Undoubtedly, such a view is very correct. In fact, not only does Shi Qiping believe that American hegemony is waning, but recently, The New York Times published an article claiming that a century of China may have arrived! US media even asserted that if both countries continue to develop along their current trajectories, China will likely eventually dominate high-end industries such as new energy vehicles, drones, medicine, artificial intelligence, etc., and believed that the first few months of Trump's second term were the watershed when China distanced itself from the United States.
In fact, looking at the situation facing the United States, due to its reversal of stance in the Ukraine-Russia war, as well as the trade war it initiated and forcing allies to increase military spending, the rift between the United States and its allies is growing larger, and the United States is becoming isolated. And experts have pointed out that if the United States was previously seen as a beacon, then with its anti-globalization actions and increasingly naked pursuit of unilateral interests, the attractiveness and appeal of the United States have undoubtedly decreased significantly, and the light of the beacon is becoming dimmer and dimmer.
In the midst of dramatic changes in the global landscape, undoubtedly, not only domestic elites in the United States, but also other countries see our influence growing larger, and we are increasingly playing the role of promoting global peace and stability in turbulent situations. This is clearly demonstrated in this tariff war where we firmly opposed the U.S. setting up trade barriers and reached consensus with multiple parties to defend free trade. It is obvious that an era of increasing Chinese influence is arriving, and we believe that countries will increasingly accept this.
