GoodFellows: Conversations from the Hoover Institution

NOTE

China as a Top Threat in Geopolitics

China is considered the top threat in geopolitics due to its significant economic power, being 10 times larger than Russia's GDP and 30 times larger than Iran's. The dominance of Asia as the most crucial region, which is projected to exceed 50% of global GDP, further solidifies China's influence. Traditional balance of power and anti-hegemonic principles, deeply rooted in American and European strategic thinking, warn against allowing a potentially hostile power like China to dominate a substantial portion of the world's economic zone. The focus should not only be on Ukraine and Taiwan, but also on preventing the collapse of the United States' geopolitical position in Asia, as the consequences would be severe.
