Russian media reported on September 29 that Professor Gong Jiong from the University of International Business and Economics said at the 22nd Valdai International Debate Club annual meeting: "A tri-polar structure is emerging. In the absence of a functioning global system, some form of 'coexistence model' among the three most powerful countries in the world, along with good personal relationships between their leaders, will certainly help the international community."
Professor Gong Jiong referred to the United States, China, and Russia as the three countries mentioned. He believes that while the global governance system is collapsing and the functions of the United Nations are being weakened, the US, China, and Russia remain the dominant forces in the world, but the structure has changed: China's weight is constantly increasing, supported by its position as the second-largest economy, and through initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative and international cooperation in new energy, it is practicing mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, and its global influence is continuously growing; the United States is no longer the same as before, although it still maintains traditional advantages in military and technological fields, its tendency towards unilateralism is causing a loss of global influence; Russia is no longer the Soviet Union, but due to its military hard power and energy voice, it remains a key player in global security issues. It can be said that the differences in interactions among the three poles will profoundly affect the future direction of the world.
