An interview with a Chinese expert was published in the German press. It concerned the geopolitical situation in the world. Dean of the Foreign Policy Department of the Beijing Institute of International Relations (belongs to Tsinghua University), political scientist Yan Xuetong shared his views with the journalists of Der Spiegel.

According to the Chinese expert, the United States of America "will continue to decline." Yan Xuetong predicts the collapse of the British Empire in this regard. He believes that the United States will follow approximately the same path.

Yan Xuetong:

There will be no instantaneous decay and extinction. But it may be that at one time was observed in Britain. The empire gradually collapsed, previously being the strongest and most powerful world power. The process of extinction and decay continued for decades.

The dean of the Chinese Institute of International Relations noted that there is nothing supernatural in this, "since all empires are destroyed sooner or later." Yan Xuetong notes that every empire has three stages of its life cycle: after formation and dawn (in military, cultural and other terms), stagnation begins, stagnation, and then decay begins.

At the same time, nothing was said in the interview about whether China is ready to take advantage of this situation to become the sole leader, or whether it will build a multipolar system.

    It only remains to add that the process of the collapse of the empire was accelerated a thousandfold by WWII, when part of the territories and military bases, of which some were lost by Britain primarily due to the invasion of Japan, and then were ceded to the United States as payment for aid under the Lend-Lease ...
    
    And then, after the end of WWII, a period of national liberation wars began in the remaining colonies, which finally determined the collapse of the colonial empire.

      And a little about the former British colony, in which a military coup took place early this morning - Myanmar .
      The military seized power, arresting the president and the leader of the ruling party, and then declared a state of emergency for a year.
      
      Do not be embarrassed by the photo from the BTR-82A of the Burmese army, this is only the fruit of the military-technical cooperation of the Russian Federation and Myanmar.
      Chinese technology is also widely represented there, given that the countries are neighbors and have a common long border.
      And as a result, there is a wave of attacks on social networks that China is behind the coup ...

      WWII is a continuation of WWII. WWI and WWII are designed to destroy the old world order based on the division of the world and the colonial conquests of "Old Europe". The main anti-colonial force was the US monopolies, which later turned into TNCs. The US state (as well as Nazi Germany, as well as Japan, Italy, and the USSR) are tools for destroying the power of the "old" empires, of which the British Empire remained the most powerful and influential after WWI.
      From the very beginning of the XNUMXth century, the United States developed a "national" policy of expansion towards the largest market - China. Therefore - the Philippines. Therefore - Japan. It is China that is the main prize of the United States in the XNUMXth century.
      At the present stage, TNCs based on the United States have achieved such power and influence that they are no longer interested in the state as such (in any), therefore, according to the new plan, (national) states (including the United States) will "fade away".
      Thus, it is possible that the Chinese expert misunderstands something or adheres to the approved (for the broad masses) propaganda line.

    If you ask the "experts" what is geopolitics ?, then from each we will get our own long monologue, it is not clear what about.
    
    There are three types of politics in the world:
    - internalconducted by power in relation to its citizens;
    - externalheld by the authorities in relation to citizens of other states.
    - globalheld by power in relation to all citizens of the world.
    (can you just give a brief definition of the term geopolitics?)
    
    At the moment, the ability to pursue global politics is possessed by: Russia, China, the United States.
    
    Behind the term geopolitics trying to hide global politics, so that it would not be clear what is actually happening in the world.

      (can you just give a brief definition of the term geopolitics?)
      As for me, this is not true. It will not work very briefly, because everything comes from one root that you have not mentioned - Public policy.
      Internal + External = State policy, which is carried out in the interests of its citizens and business under the protection of the state. When they are balanced, citizens and business are the backbone of the state, because. it is they who are the source of the formation of the army and the replenishment of the treasury, and the state protects their interests, which are not limited by the borders of the state and go beyond its limits, i.e. the interests of citizens and the state become interdependent and require protection both in their region and in neighboring countries, that is, they form the factors of Geopolitics, which consist in the involvement of these countries in their zone of influence through alliances, blocs (military, economic, etc.) Geopolitical interests states can expand until they collide with the geopolitical interests of another state. When at the junction of interests there is no possibility of further expansion, then the factor of Globalism appears, i.e. absorption of a competitor by pulling him into the orbit of his influence, or his elimination (all methods are good here) with the subsequent absorption of his resources. The trouble is that at a certain stage, there is a failure in State policy, when Foreign policy is torn off from Domestic policy, which results in a deterioration in the situation of citizens and business, which are the backbone of the state. The state turns into a Colossus with feet of clay. The same is now observed in the United States, where a split has clearly emerged, both between citizens and between citizens and the state. The same is outlined in Russia as well. with some foreign policy successes, there are obvious domestic political failures. As a result of such an imbalance, the USSR collapsed, when citizens almost indifferently accepted the fact of the collapse and dispersed to their national apartments, nullifying foreign policy efforts and geopolitical achievements with a claim of influence on a global scale.

        When I had already written the definitions, I thought that in the definitions instead of “power” it was necessary to write “state”, at least in brackets. The state personifies power. There is no power, no state. So government policy is domestic, foreign and global. There is no other. Global policy in terms of the power of impact on society is higher than external, and external is higher than internal.
        
        As I expected, everyone understands geopolitics in his own way, and if there is no single concept, then with such a people you can do whatever you want - to support those whose concepts coincide and spread rot ...

  Well, let's say, over Britain quite recently, by historical standards, just yesterday, also "the sun never set." And before that, all of Europe was under Hitler's "imperial rule". Even earlier - Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire. And the greats are Spain, Portugal. Before them - the Great Alexander with an empire for half the world, the Mongols, the Romans who own half of the known world, the Egyptians who built the pyramids ...
  Where are they all? And what is the reason that instead of the great, for example, “great Austria-Hungary” now only Austria and Hungary, and the Spaniards with the Portuguese, except football, do not know how to do anything else?
  
  All empires in history are ruined by one thing - the desire for world domination.
  
  Russia has never sought to own the world, therefore, after another devastation, it ALWAYS revived like a Phoenix bird. China also periodically rose - one of these moments we see now. Russia and China have never sought to rule the world. That is why we are, and the Egyptians no longer build pyramids. Yes, there was an expansion of the "outlying lands". And we had Yermak Timofeevich and Siberia, and in China Shi Huandi. But "to own the world" - never.
  
  Perhaps even our children will not see how the next "great Austria-Hungary" will become the next "Austria" and "Hungary". Perhaps, as with the colonial system or the USSR, it will collapse at once. But America will surely collapse. Because this is the fate of any self-appointed "masters of the world." And America fits perfectly into this "historical practice." Process start started ...
  
  I wonder why America and some of us think that no one succeeded, but America will be lucky? And she will be eternal eternity "exclusive" and "mistress of the world" ...

      It is unlikely that the socialist camp can be called "occupied territories" or "colonies." How much the same Britain or Spain pumped out of the colonies. And what did we have from that socialist camp? "Icarus"? Bulgarian cigarettes made from Uzbek tobacco? Polish ships built at the shipyard in Gdansk, which we built? Although they could have built it on the same Black Sea.
      They only built, built and built ...

What has Spain built in America, apart from the "casa" for its vice-governors and barracks for the soldiers? The two best and only normal buildings for any city under Spanish rule. And Britain didn't even build that in India ...
      
      America is building in its present colonies. But only what the American corporations need, which are robbing these colonies. Well, the "barracks" are military bases, respectively ... And then in the Baltic States and in Poland in Soviet military towns they live and take off from the Soviet runways - they saved ...

There will be no instantaneous decay and extinction. But it may be what was at one time observed in Britain. The empire gradually collapsed
Of course, one should not expect a one-time disintegration, but there are all the prerequisites for a gradual disintegration. The democrats themselves, with their own hands, are pushing the country into the cesspool of kneeling before the blacks, the destruction of all moral foundations, repressions against dissent, etc., etc. And this, in the end, will obviously not lead to the strengthening of the country.
the interview did not say anything about whether China is ready to take advantage of this situation
And when did China loudly announce, especially to the Western media, its plans in foreign policy?

But, frankly, it's time for them to calm down!
Everything points to this: the drop in the level of intelligence, experience and competencies in diplomacy, and the bringing by the American old men in Congress and the oligarchs of the country to a split, and the return of Psaki to the kennel, and the inability to wage the war as it was before (we have not fought for 4 years) ...

Chinese expert predicted the United States "extinction according to the British version"

And so it will be. The USA is, in my opinion, at the beginning of its "extinction". How long will it take I think it all depends on the internal processes in the states themselves.

How much rope does not twist. Perhaps someday the United States will get what it has long deserved.

How many times is the United States larger than the British metropolis - 5 times? Yeah, wait. Precisely according to the British version, yeah.

Something is not noticeable any extinction, the Chinese wishful thinking. Technologically, they move the fastest, which leads to the creation of new companies, services, goods, the population is growing by 2 miles a year, if I'm not mistaken, China will catch up with it. And in the Russian Federation there is an outflow of the population as in the 90s, and its replacement by Central Asians.
