In a speech in Brussels, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell revealed in sharp rhetoric a fact that cannot be ignored: the era of Western dominance is completely over.
His remarks are not only a profound reflection on the current geopolitical tensions in the world, but also a reorientation of Europe's relations with the countries of the Global South.
Borrell unabashedly pointed out that the Ukrainian crisis and the escalation of the situation in the Middle East are clear evidence of the gradual collapse of Western dominance. These crises and conflicts, like heavy stones, weighed down on the heart of Europe, plunging this once prosperous and stable continent into an unprecedented predicament.
And behind all this, it is the West's long-term hegemonic thinking and unilateral actions that have triggered **. His remarks are not only a profound analysis of the current situation in Europe, but also a bold and bold analysis of the global power structure. In Borrell's view, the rise of the Global South is no longer an unattainable dream, but a reality that is happening.
The countries of the South are no longer satisfied with passively accepting the rules and arrangements of the West, and they have begun to challenge the old world order with their voices and actions. This change will not be achieved overnight, it will require the unity and efforts of the countries of the East, as well as the understanding and support of the countries of the North. But in any case, a new world order of pluralism, equality and inclusiveness is quietly taking shape. For China, the arrival of this new era is both an opportunity and a challenge. As an important player in the global East, China has demonstrated great strength and potential.
From economy to science and technology, from culture to diplomacy, China is influencing the direction of the world in its own way. At the same time, however, China is also facing various pressures and challenges from both internal and external sources. How to find its place in the new world order and how to coexist peacefully and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with other countries are major issues facing China. Borrell's prediction undoubtedly provides an opportunity for China to re-examine itself. China needs to have a deeper understanding of the world, participate more actively in global governance, and be more determined to safeguard its core interests.
At the same time, China also needs to be more open and inclusive, respect the sovereignty and choices of other countries, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. In these times of change and uncertainty, every country needs to have its own thinking and judgment. For China, it is even more necessary to have unique insights and actions. Only in this way can we find our place and value in this new world order. But what does the future hold? Does the end of the era of Western dominance mean the rise of a new hegemonic power? Will the rise of the Global South lead to new conflicts and confrontations? Borrell did not give a clear answer to these questions. His words are full of suspense and unknowns. Perhaps, this is exactly what we need to think about. In this era of change and opportunity, each and every one of us is a witness and a participant.
We need to use our wisdom and courage to face unknown challenges and opportunities. We need to shape the world of the future with our actions and choices. For China, the arrival of this new era is both a huge opportunity and a serious challenge. We look forward to China's ability to show more excellence and wisdom in this new world order.
We look forward to China's actions and voices contributing more to world peace and development. We end the article with a quote from Borrell: "Although theoretically it is not difficult to understand, we do not always draw all practical conclusions from this new reality. This is perhaps exactly what each of us needs to think about and practice. In this new era full of changes and opportunities, we have always believed that the Oriental Giant Lion has awakened!
