The global order is entering a transitional phase marked by remodeling rather than collapse. The post-WW2 order led so far- and more so since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990 - by the United States is adjusting to new realities. China’s economic weight gives it strategic leverage that extends far beyond trade and finance, positioning it as a major competitor to the United States. Although China’s form of interventionism differs from that of Western powers, its growing influence across regions such as the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America is nothing but another version of neo-colonialism, hence not less damaging to America’s global interests.
