The power shown by China's nineteenth military parade shocked the world, and countries began to re-evaluate China's strength.The foreign media also interpreted the parade, on September 13, the Asia Times with a large analysis article once again clearly pointed out: "The golden period of America's domination of the world is only a short 16 years and 9 months, the world has quietly entered the order dominated by China."

On September 3, China held the ¡°80th Anniversary of the Victory of the War¡± parade. On the surface, it was a solemn commemoration, a tribute to history and awareness of the present. But in the eyes of the Asia Times, it was more like a declaration to show the world of national strength and institutional confidence, marking China has transformed from ¡°followers¡± to ¡°shapers¡±.

The article gives a clear timeline for changing the global order: 1815-1880 yearsBritain¡¯s global dominance is unwavering. 1880 to 1945rivalry between empire powers; 1945-1991 years, the bipolar game between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War; 1991 to 2008, the United States enjoys exclusive unipolar dominance.

The U.S. seems to have always been powerful, but if you look closely, it really has no opponent and dominates the world altogether, in fact only 16 years, 8 months and 21 days¡ªfrom the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 to the day the Lehman brothers went bankrupt in 2008.

This short "American moment" was based on the three major prerequisites of a vacuum of opponents, rapid economic progress, and unquestioned institutional myths. But these pillars did not last long.

The fall of the Lehman Brothers not only triggered the global financial crisis, but also symbolized the ¡°collapse¡± of the American free market model on the world stage.

Faced with global market turmoil, the United States 'approach is to quantitative easing and dump the blame on the world, but in fact it transfers inflationary pressure to other countries. This scene made many countries sober up instantly-it turns out that the so-called "international rules" are only "universal" when the United States itself is stable.

On the other hand, China is responding with strong and pragmatic national capabilities. By increasing domestic demand, expanding investment and driving world trade, China has not only stabilized its own economy, but also become the "engine" of the recovery of the world economy. The world is beginning to reassess: China is not some kind of "system replicator", but the founder of another system.

The Asia Times pointed out that the world has long entered the "China-centered order", but this is not the same as China wants to rule the world, but rather that the world's increasing number of operating mechanisms are unfolding around China.

Look at today¡¯s reality: China is the world¡¯s first manufacturer, the world¡¯s first trading country, the world¡¯s first foreign exchange reserve country, the world¡¯s largest digital economic growth body... The core links of the global industrial chain and supply chain are almost all closely linked to China.

Looking at the system arrangements and development mechanisms, China-led AIIB, the Belt and Road Initiative, the SCO, the expansion of the BRICS mechanism, etc., are constantly building a new order different from the Western-led structure.

Where is the charm of this order? It respects the right to development, national equality and diversity of civilizations, and does not engage in the exclusive logic of "non-our race". Especially for developing countries that have been marginalized by the West for a long time, the Chinese model has given unprecedented respect and choice.

In contrast, the logic of the United States in the world order is more of a "no-this is him" in the Cold War mindset.You are either in my camp or my enemy.

However, China's concept of global governance is "the earth is so big that it can accommodate everyone to develop together". You don't have to leave like me, but you can't refuse the possibility of cooperation. You can develop at your own pace, and I do not interfere in your internal affairs or impose ideologies.

This is why, even if some countries are "prepared" for China, they are also quietly strengthening cooperation. Under the slogan of the economy to take risks, the West on the one hand disconnected, but on the other hand continued to increase exports and investments to China.

This is not only a driver of interests, but also an adaptation to the reality pattern.

This new order that China has built is not forcing others to stand aside as the United States does, but rather provides a space where ¡°you can¡¯t stand aside.¡±

The deeper change is the reshaping of the cognitive level. In the past, the West built a self-circulating narrative system: only democratic and free markets can bring prosperity, and only by following Western rules can we have the right to speak. However, China has shattered this "myth" with its decades of rise speed and development results.

Without democracy in the Western style, economic miracles can also be achieved; without relying on the Western market, global industrial chains can also be established.
You can become a key player in global technology without copying the Western system.

When more and more countries discover that "China is not a challenger, but a substitute", a new pattern has taken shape.

To sum up, the article in Asia Times, although calm in tone, is full of weight. The signal it sends is not only the curtain call of American hegemony, but a new international order centered on China, inclusive and diverse, and giving priority to cooperation, which is gradually becoming a reality.

This is not to announce the end of an old age, but to reveal the beginning of a new one.

Of course, China is not as enthusiastic about ¡°painting a circle¡± to the world as the United States does, nor does it need anyone to submit to it, but its global development models, governance concepts and rules of order are becoming increasingly attractive.

In the future, the world will no longer be ruled by a superpower, but will be more diverse and more polar, truly forming an open situation of "you develop, I won't stop it".
