Globalization is just a euphemism for hegemony. First it was the British Empire, then the American Empire.

Nearly 20 years of sending in students, researchers, 1000 person scheme etc. They win if it is not Xi, you may not even know until too late.

The American century was built on the back of dead Russians and Western European ruins by Nazi Germany. If the third time's the charm, then the next Hegemon would be the faction that successfully minimise its own losses in a WW3, so either India or Europe(an Union). Then again, history doesn't repeat, it rhymes.
