The bipolar yet multi-polar structure between China and the United States has become the mainstream, bringing new changes to the global balance of power.

Local media in the island said that whether it is Russia, the EU, or Japan, they have already shown significant gaps compared to China and the United States. The future international order will not be a unipolar or multipolar structure, but a bipolar multi-power structure with China and the United States at the core. Local media said that the comprehensive political, economic, military, and technological strength of China and the United States are difficult for other countries to match. Whether it is Russia, the EU, or Japan, compared to China and the United States, they all have obvious shortcomings.

Local media believe that although Russia is currently the only country capable of putting the United States in a fatal position, from the perspective of technology and economy, Russia is too weak. The EU is an alliance consisting of 27 countries. Although its GDP is higher than that of the United States, there are many dissonant voices in policy coordination, and the EU cannot act as a single country consistently. As for Japan, although it is an economic power in the world, it is a country with inherent deficiencies. Its economy relies on exports, its resources rely on imports, and politically it has never had an independent foreign policy.

Therefore, local media believe that the future world will not be a multipolar structure, but a bipolar multi-power structure with China and the United States at the center. How do we view this analysis by local media? Undoubtedly, the judgment made by local media is reasonable. In the words of the United States, we are currently the only long-term strategic rival of the United States. This indicates that in the perception of the United States, the competition between China and the United States is all-round, which in a way also represents the U.S. recognition of our development and strength. Of course, our position is to promote the multipolarization of the global order. However, in terms of overall strength, especially in the field of technology, China and the United States have indeed become the two main competitors.

In fields such as artificial intelligence, space technology, high-performance materials, chips, biomedicine, drones, etc., China and the United States are showing a situation where they are chasing each other. Countries such as Russia, Japan, and the EU clearly feel that they are falling behind. Of course, from a historical perspective, we have always been a country with the top global strength. Our goal is obviously not to compete with the United States for hegemony, but we will certainly gain increasing influence on the international stage. It is evident that the United States is destined to accept coexistence and mutual benefit with us, and we are fully confident about this.
