Kina og USA – og Rusland

CBS skriver udbyggende: 

The US-Russia relationship has plunged to a new low since the end of the Cold War and China is more assertive than ever before and proposes a new major power relationship tailor-made for China and the US.

The US has led sanctions on Russia because of the crisis in Ukraine. Russia’s membership of the G8 is suspended. Obama characterizes Russia as one of the world’s biggest 3 threats due to extremism and Ebola. Meanwhile there is a strong intensification of Chinese-Russian political and economic ties.
 
The economic power of the world moves quickly to the East and China continues to be the growth engine of the world.

Growth in China is however lowered to approximately seven per cent and the Government needs to take the necessary decisions to sustain the future growth model. At the same time China’s foreign policy has become more assertive.

Significant new Free Trade agreements are proposed, the new Asia Infrastructure Investment development bank is launched despite American opposition and the biggest Chinese international initiative championed ever – The Silk Road economic Initiative and the 21st Century Maritime silk Road.

Kinesiske følere til USA

The US economy is steadily recovering and likely to grow about 2,5 per cent this year.

The Obama administration maintains its “Rebalancing” policy towards China in a mix of engagement and containment. China and Xi Jinping on its side proposes a new “major power relationship” tailor-made for the two biggest powers of today and tomorrow.

Will the New Normal International Order therefore be continued US dominance because of military power or Chinese dominance because of economic power?

Or maybe most likely a new type of co-operational order in a more interdependent world where the EU, Japan, India and other significant countries will play a decisive role?
