This is cherry-picking. The intellectuals of U.S. imperialism argue the fine points of the global scene in Foreign Policy all the time. They have jostling views, some obviously dependent on who funds their position in a think tank.
Among not always consistent statements, this particular article grants, "China has risen, especially in the economic realm, and great-power competition has returned after a post–Cold War lull." Any materialist-minded observer of imperialism would recognize the truth of the statement. And it fits the classic Leninist description of contradictions between monopoly capitalist powers. At the beginning of the twentieth century, world war approached because Great Britain had a world empire far larger than Germany, and GB had a bigger economy, but Germany had more modern productive forces and was compelled to seek a redivision of global economic privileges and spoils. Just like the U.S. and China today. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
