How India’s rise can keep China’s growing influence in check
Clashes of ideas and culture have been going on for centuries between the east and west. From the appearance of things in the coming years, it is very possible for the East to surpass the West in many aspects. This will change the course of history and geopolitics. The shift of the center of power has been waiting quite a long time. In the coming years, Asia is expected to regain its position as a prominent economic force that has been lost after the industrial revolution three centuries ago. The shift in the endless scale of power towards China in the last decade is a threat to the West, who has tried every trick in this book to control the country’s meteoric growth.
One of the reasons for optimism that grows among Asian countries is the number of natural resources in the region. According to estimates, the Middle East joint, Russia and Central Asia contributed nearly 70 percent of global oil reserves and 65 percent of natural gas reserves. The gas field in Galkynysh, Turkmenistan is the second largest in the world. Countries located between the Mediterranean and Pacific Sea including Russia, Ukraine, India, China, Pakistan, and others contributed more than half of the world’s wheat production.
Southeast Asian and East Asian countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam and others accounted for 85 percent of world rice production. When it comes to natural resources such as vital silicon for semiconductor production, nearly three -quarters of global production occur in Russia and China. What’s more, Southeast Asian countries contributed mostly for global GDP. Countries including India, China, South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand together have 30% of global GDP, accounting for a total value of more than $ 30 trillion.
The West is declining and talking about how and when it will go down like everything that rises is taking place in the living room across the Asian continent. A series of weapons violence incidents in the US are a good example of the spiritual decline in American society. This century has been referred to as “Asian Century” because development occurs in the east with amazing speed and scale. Some reports show that in 2050 per capita income in Asian countries will increase six times in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP). This development is projected in the midst of the influence of US decline, which has been the western spearhead over the past few decades.
The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan while the country was taken over by the Taliban last year without a shot fired from both sides and US actions during the Limited Ukraine War to help the country under Russian attacks to defend themselves to show the world that the tired US US did not mood to be involved in another war. But President Joe Biden only stated that in the case of Taiwan was attacked by China,
which is an important US ally, his country will intervene. However, past events-whether the inhibition of the US in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over cities after the city or its role in the Russian-Ukraine war had an impact on US strategic credibility in Europe and elsewhere. Beijing must understand a new position that is weaker than the US as its advantage in the Indo Pacific region, where he directly or indirectly holds several ASEAN countries in their necks.
While China projects its aggressive efforts in the region, both giving a destroying blow to pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, his treatment of Taiwan as an integral part of the Chinese state, his hostility along the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh or the construction of artificial islands and artificial defense Infrastructure development in the South China Sea – as a protection of its national interests rather than its efforts to dominate global. And it doesn’t need to be said that Beijing will do anything to protect the West
