China's Growing Global Influence
China has emerged as a formidable global player, posing a significant challenge to U.S. dominance due to its comprehensive power across military, economic, diplomatic, and technological realms. Unlike the Soviet Union, which was primarily a military rival, China has developed a robust industrial and commercial sector that allows it to compete on multiple fronts. The U.S. often resorts to fear-mongering to portray China negatively but fails to provide substantive reasons for this fear, as the evidence shows that China is actively reshaping the international order. Key among the factors contributing to China's ascendancy is its non-interventionist foreign policy, which resonates positively with countries that have historically faced U.S. interventionism and military actions.
