Will China ever be able to rule the global order?

China is perceived to have all the qualities to be a hegemony nation. It means China will be able to shape the political system of any nation; build its own grouping of countries; and enforce its own principles in international trade and business, likewise the United States of America was able to do after World War II. A book by William T Bowe about China’s history states that China had held the preeminent post of East Asian hegemon for almost two millennia. But it then suffered a decline during its imperial era, the great Qing dynasty. The decline of this regional hegemony, constituting East Asia, came soon after the first Opium war in 1839, and ended after the second world war in 1945. This period is reflected as “Century of Humiliation” in Chinese history and gave China an idea of m

Is President Xi Jinping a dictator? Unfortunately, President Joe Biden is right

China has taken umbrage at U.S. President Joe Biden calling President of China Xi Jinping a dictator. Unfortunately for Beijing, however, the U.S. President is right. At a fundraiser campaign on June 20, 2023, night, Joe Biden said Xi was embarrassed over recent tensions surrounding a suspected Chinese spy balloon that had been shot down by the U.S. Air Force over the East Coast. “That’s a great embarrassment for dictators, when they did not know what had happened,” Biden commented. The next day Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning called the comment by the U.S. President “extremely absurd and irresponsible,” as it went “totally against facts.” President Biden has subsequently made it clear that he will continue to stick to his opinion, though that does not mean souring relat

Is Wagner group’s rebellion against Russia, a wakeup call for China?

In the rebellion against Moscow by the Wagner group, a Russia-based private military company, there is a lesson for the Chinese leadership as well, since it is equally encouraging private military groups in their efforts to expand and grow. Chinese private military companies (PMCs) have a major presence in mineral rich countries of Africa, Latin America and other parts of the world. In fact, over the last few years, China’s investment and trade with African countries have seen a meteoric jump. Under the Belt and Road Initiative alone, China has made a huge investment in Zambia, Angola, Ethiopia, Egypt, Namibia, and several other African nations. Following Russia’s strategy in Africa, China has pushed a large number of PMCs in the continent to protect its interests and expand influence
