U.S. economist Sachs said that the United States must now accept reality, which is that the U.S. is no longer the only superpower. On October 31st, according to foreign media reports, during the Sino-U.S. meeting that has drawn global attention, U.S. economist Sachs stated that today, looking around the world, there are at least four major powers: the United States, China, Russia, and India. They all have economic and technological strength and are also nuclear-armed countries, with the potential to defeat each other in war.
But now the United States still clings to its superpower status. The United States is currently the largest source of instability globally because it tries to maintain a position of supremacy that it has actually lost. The United States needs to accept that it is no longer the only superpower, and to exercise restraint and mutual respect with other major powers in an increasingly multipolar world, so as not to let geopolitical risks destroy the general peace and stability of the world. Before the Sino-U.S. meeting, Trump said that G2 will hold a meeting, while the U.S. economist said that the United States is no longer the only superpower.
What does this indicate? It fully indicates that whether it is U.S. political leaders like Trump or the U.S. academia, they have come to realize more than ever that the United States is indeed not the only superpower. That G2 came from Trump's mouth is certainly not accidental; it may be a reflection of Trump's genuine attitude after actually engaging with us. Of course, Sachs believes that Russia and India are also superpowers. India would certainly be happy to hear the praise from American experts.
However, India can probably only say it has the potential to be a superpower, but it is still far away from being a true superpower. After all, from a military perspective, India's advanced equipment is not yet independent, and its economic size still has a significant gap compared to China and the United States. How can it be called a superpower? Now that the direct confrontation between China and the United States has just ended, the United States will definitely reassess and re-understand us. For us, our path is long, our goal is to make the people rich and the country strong, and to reach for the vast stars and oceans, but the U.S.-style hegemony will definitely not be our goal.
