Swarajya's video: Post The Russia-Ukraine War Where Is China s Place In The New World Order US India

In China, President Donald Trump-led Republican administration saw its biggest adversary, one they wanted to urgently address through tariffs and a hurried trade war. In Vladimir Putin-led Russia, the Democrats, now led by President Joe Biden in the White House, see the biggest threat to global peace and European security. If the differences between the two parties in America were not clear enough in their domestic politics, their contrasting priorities on the foreign policy front have only deepened the faultlines. The Democrats believe that the Republicans are compromised on the altar of the Russians, and the Republicans have now enough reasons to believe that the Democrats have chosen to prostrate before the Chinese. The Russians today are a mere shadow, in terms of political and economic clout, of what the Soviet Empire was before the fall of 1991. The Chinese, on the other hand, is as big an economy as the Americans, the biggest market for all US conglomerates, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street. The Chinese indispensability is affirmed by the sanctions the Russians have been showered with and the silence that has been maintained on the coronavirus origins, political annexation of Hong Kong, and the imminent threat to Taiwan. Not only are the Democrats and Republicans divided by politics, but also the eras they are living in, with the former choosing to view the geopolitical developments through the Cold War lens.
