American economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs said in an interview with Russian news agency TASS that the era of Washington’s global dominance is over, but the United States has not yet accepted this.
Sachs said, “I think America’s global dominance has ended. We live in a multipolar world. Russia is a great power. The United States is a great power. China is a great power. India is a great power.” “The question is whether we can live peacefully now in such an environment, whether the US will accept the fact that it can no longer take decisions,” the economist said. Sachs said that as of now, the US administration is still in the denial stage and believes they “still run the show.” The American economist stressed, “And this is a dangerous misconception in the United States.”
Russia wants to bring India and China together
This statement about sex seems to be true to a great extent, and many countries of the world believe that America is now getting old. Along with Russia, it is now facing challenges from China and India also. That is why Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday that Moscow is indeed interested in resuming operations within the framework of the Russia-India-China (RIC) format. “I would like to confirm our genuine interest in resuming work as soon as possible within the format of the Troika (Russia, India, China), which was established several years ago (Russian International Affairs Council, RIAC) on the initiative of Yevgeny Primakov, and which has since “So far, more than 20 ministerial meetings have been held not only at the level of foreign policy heads, but also at the level of heads of other economic, trade and financial agencies of the three countries.”
Lavrov made a big claim
Lavrov stressed, “To date, as I understand, a consensus has been reached between India and China on how to ease the situation on the border and I think it is time to revive this RIC triumvirate.” Russia’s top diplomat said that NATO is openly trying to implicate India in anti-China conspiracies. “I have no doubt that our Indian friends, and I say this on the basis of confidential conversations with them,” Lavrov said.
Lavrov’s claim also seems true that if India, Russia and China come together then most of the world’s problems will end. The monopoly of America and Europe may end in the world. But Lavrov is perhaps paying more attention to paper planning or even ignoring the problem. In both the situations nothing is going to be achieved from this. Russia will have to understand what India’s concerns are. India has been suffering from Pakistan’s terrorism for a long time. China supports Pakistan at every step. Pakistan has been occupying PoK for many years, it has also given a part of it to China. India considers Jammu and Kashmir as its integral part and is determined to take it back at any cost. On the other hand, China and India also have a border dispute. China claims new areas of India by bringing old stories from history. For this very reason, India wants to keep it entangled with Pakistan, but despite this, India is on the way to becoming a world superpower. So how will China and India come together in such a situation?
China’s expansionist thinking
In China’s mouthpiece Global Times, Lieutenant General of the Chinese Army He Li wrote that China’s core interests are mainly reflected in three areas: First, there should be no change in the leadership of the CPC and the socialist system. Second, China’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, security and national unity should not be violated. Third, to prevent the historical process of national rejuvenation from being disrupted. Of these, the second aspect in the near future includes issues ranging from the Taiwan question, the South and East China Sea issues to the China-India border dispute. These are all core interests of China, but the most important, the most fundamental, the most important of them is the Taiwan question – that is, the issue of national unification.
He further wrote that to protect national security, we must firmly engrave the concept of national interest in our hearts and raise it above our heads. We must resolutely defend national interests and fight without compromise against all actions that harm, violate or sell out those interests – no matter what the cost, even if it requires blood and sacrifice.
Why are America and India friends?
Obviously, China does not want to step back from the path of expansionism and is not ready to take any major steps to concretely improve relations with India. Lavrov is right that if India-China relations improve then the entire world’s trade will run through Asia only. Asia alone will solve all the issues and India, Russia and China can establish a new world equation. But for that, China will have to give up its claim and occupation on Indian lands. To merge Pakistan occupied Kashmir with India, we will have to stand with India. Until he does this, America’s dominance over the world, even if symbolic, will remain. America will set the rules of business according to its own and will create new equations on the basis of power. In view of the increasing threat against itself, India will have to form an alliance with America and Europe. However, he will not leave Russia either. At the same time, America and Europe also need India very much. America and Europe will have to need India to stop China.
