‘How Trump pushed the world towards Beijing’

This is apropos six letters to the Editor titled ‘How Trump pushed the world towards Beijing’ carried by the newspaper in recent days.

Concluding, In the unfolding order, China’s rise has not been driven solely by its own strategy, but by the vacuum created as the United States confronts rather than consolidates.

The world’s capitals, boardrooms, and ministries increasingly calculate their futures not in terms of allegiance, but in terms of access—to markets, to capital, to infrastructure, and to stability.

In that calculation, Beijing now sits at the center of the equation. What history may ultimately record is not merely a contest between two powers, but a transformation in how power itself is measured.

Military strength and financial dominance remain formidable, but in a world bound by trade, technology, and shared vulnerability, the ability to attract, integrate, and sustain economic relationships may prove to be the decisive force of the century.
