‘Stay calm. Be patient’: Zheng Yongnian’s antidote for China’s Trump shock
According to Chinese political scientist Zheng Yongnian, a potential peace deal between the US and Russia to end the Ukraine war, excluding Ukraine and Europe from negotiations, could signal a shift towards 18th and 19th-century power politics and undermine the liberal international order. This reflects concerns about a potential "law of the jungle" scenario in international relations.
While there's a consensus in the US that China is a primary competitor, the current situation differs from the Cold War era. A US-Russia deal could trigger new geopolitical dynamics, particularly concerning the European response. The rise of right-wing forces in the US and Europe could further destabilize the global landscape, although this represents a worst-case scenario.
