The Ukraine War shows that Western dominance will end when China rises to the status of a superpower in partnerships with Russia in one of the most significant turning points in the centuries, said former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The world, said Blair, is at a turning point in history that is comparable to the end of the second world war or the collapse of the Soviet Union: But this time the West is clearly not in Ascendant.
We will arrive at the end of Western political and economic dominance,” Blair said in a lecture entitled After Ukraine, what lessons are now for Western leadership?” According to a speech text to a forum that supports alliances between the United States and Europe in Ditchley Park in the western of London.
The world will be at least Bi-polar and maybe multi-polar, “said Blair. “The biggest geo-political change of this century will come from China not Russia.”
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has killed thousands and triggered the most serious crisis in relations between Russia and the West since the Cuban missile crisis 1962, when many people were worried that the world was in the nuclear war.
President Vladimir Putin said the West had declared an economic war by trying to isolate the Russian economy with sanctions and Kremlin said Russia would turn to power such as China and India.
War in Ukraine, said Blair, has clarified that the West cannot depend on China “to behave in the way we consider rational”.
Chinese President Xi Jinping continues to support Putin and criticize the sanctions of “abuse” by the West. Putin has falsified what he called the “strategic partnership” with China.
China in 1979 had a smaller economy than Italy, but after opening foreign investment and introducing market reforms, it has become the second largest economy in the world.
The economy is estimated to overtake the United States in a decade and it leads to several 23 -century technology such as artificial intelligence, regenerative medicine and conductive polymers.
The place of China as a superpower is natural and justified. This is not the Soviet Union, “said Blair, who was the prime minister from 1997 to 2007. The allies -the most likely were Russia and Iran.
We must increase defense expenditure and maintain military superiority,” said Blair. The United States and its allies “must be superior enough to meet all possibilities or types of conflict and in all fields.”
