I think we’re already starting to see this happening. A lot of interesting stuff has been announced at the BRI meeting that’s happening now. Most importantly, the establishment of new trade routes around Eurasia. We’re basically seeing a new world economy emerging centred on China right now. And this is happening completely outside western control. The trade routes go through countries that are either neutral or openly hostile to the west leaving very little opportunity for western powers to interfere. And I expect we’ll see Global South countries increasingly choose to align themselves with this rising economic bloc.

There is also a slow motion crash happening in the west right now, and at some point we are going to see major economic disruptions. If China manages to insulate itself sufficiently from western economies, then its model will gain a huge amount of credibility going forward.
