President Trump said something very honest: “If China and the US work together, we can solve all the problems in the world.” However, the establishment elites in the United States face an ideological challenge. They are fundamentally anti-China, and the Chinese ruling elites do not accept the concept of liberal democracy. The Chinese elite, myself included, are profoundly nationalistic and patriotic. To us, social harmony and unity are more important than life itself. The love the Chinese people have for our country, especially our youth, is something Americans cannot comprehend. So the idea of China and the US running the world together—the G2 concept—was rejected by Americans from the beginning. Now, even if the Americans want to pursue that path, it is too late. The train has already left the station.
The US provoked the Ukraine war in an attempt to regime-change Russia, turn it into a US proxy, and surround and contain China. China foresaw this, which is why Xi Jinping and Putin met just a few weeks before the Ukraine war and signed a “no-limits partnership” against NATO expansion. From the perspective of Chinese elites, NATO is merely an imperial tool for US power projection. The strategic rivalry between China and the US is no longer just a competition between two countries, but between two ego systems. It is no longer China trying to bargain with its unipolar master under the United States’ global hegemonic roof. Instead, it is a competition between two separate, independent powers. The competition is now between the US-dominated Western power ego system and the China-led new ego system.
Within this Western-led ego system, when the biggest player—the United States of America—can no longer absorb nutrition from its Global South economic vassels and satellites, when it can no longer consume the energy it requires to survive from the East (i.e., China), the only way it can survive is to consume energy and nutrition from its own allies and vassals. And the first set of allies and vassals to fall victim to US cannibalism will be Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
» China will form an alternative economic and political system outside of the Western world,
and the only way the US can survive is by cannibalizing its own allies and vassals.
We are witnessing the collapse of the entire Western world. «

This
trajectory has been in motion since 2012, when China partially detached
its currency from the US dollar, when the Obama administration began to
aggressively suppress China’s growth, and when China started its tax
reform in 2014. Over the last decade, China has slowly been recreating
an alternative network with the rest of the world, as the US has been
pushing us out of the original structure. From now on, China will form
an alternative economic and political system with the rest of the world,
particularly with East Asia, outside of the Western world. By the
Western world, I mean the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan—the roughly
"Golden Billion" who once oppressed the Global South. Now, through
China’s rise, they are forming their own ego system, separate from the
original Western-centric structure.
The
competition and rivalry between these two ego systems mark a dangerous
era for the world, because we are talking about the transfer of energy
from one system to another. If this is mishandled, it could lead to the
destruction of both systems. The creation of this new world system is
incomplete because the financial and monetary system is incomplete. And
finally, we are witnessing the integration, not the disintegration, of
the Western world. Not the collapse of the United States, but the
collapse of the entire Western world.
Perhaps
we should credit the new president of the United States, Donald Trump,
for accelerating this process. The drama in the Oval Office between
Trump and Zelensky delivered the fatal blow to Western unity. Following
Trump’s tariff on Europe, we will witness the collapse of the economic
and political systems of the Western-led world order. What we are familiar with is the collapse of the Soviet Union. This time, it is the
collapse of the West.
This is the principle of capitalism, like the law of physics. The United States does not love or hate Ukraine. The goal has always been to drain Europe’s resources. This is why so many so-called intellectuals and political experts in Europe, Canada, and Taiwan are shocked by the current events, like naive kindergarten children, saying things like, "Our Papa, the United States, is abandoning us." But let me tell you this: do not be shocked, because this is only the beginning. Soon, they will be horrified by what is to come: "Our Papa is going to devour us."
