I hope it will not be intoxicated with power like the US. I trust no country now!

The world we live in is a unipolar world dominated by the US and its European allies. But what China and BRICS are pursuing is to reduce dependence on the US and try to create a multipolar world. That means a world where power is shared, rather than concentrated in a single nation . So even if China surpasses the US and becomes the world's number one power, it is unlikely to have all the power and influence that the US once had . We will have a more equal and fair world, so there is no need to worry too much when the US is no longer the superpower and the dominant power in the world .

or trump fucks this all up causing huge set backs financially for all the world 🌎

taking as long as a decade to settle the mess he makes.

leaving china limping along with russia usa and europe all hurt.

while he blames joe biden and trans.

I am not very hopeful for any of us.

The US under Trump has woken the world into reality and the result in decades will certainly be a shit from the current US standing in the world, and that will be lovely.

I was an ardent supporter of the US until Trump came into power due to its role in the world. Trump only made me realise that it only takes a single leader to change the narrative and put the whole world in jeopardy. Tell me, is it bad for more than one country to have that power shared rather than being given to one (the US)? This is why EU should get itself together, they are also collectively capable. I don't know what's wrong with them.

Suppose China, the US, the EU, Russia etc. could have a powerful economic, political and military influence that can measure up against each other. In that case, it will rather cause a balance and mutual respect, and not the hopelessness as you view it. It mustn't always be the US.
