Multipolar didn't work out too well for Europe, where at least there's a common heritage. It would be worse on a global scale, in fact is what led to WWI, WWII.

    It is in the favour of XI politically to interrupt any interaction between two of the largest trading blocks in the world because China sees an advantage in increasing trade with Europe which has so far resisted giving unfettered trade access to a country they see as breaking human rights legislation daily.

    Currently China is well-advanced with its Belt, and Road initiative, there is a plan to dredge a canal to the Mediterranean by-passing Suez, they are reversing desert growth, they will have access to all the markets they require, the 'wedge' is self-propelling by the western refusal of a multipolar world.

      Back in 2010 the late Tony Judt (a British social historian) summed up China under the rule of the Communist Party very well. He said what some consider as the Chinese economic miracle was built on the foundation of a ruthless and now hereditary elite who are above all laws and even above all questions as everything about them is a state secret and who are kept in place by a fearsome secret police who make anyone who asks questions disappear and then a large workforce who are poorly paid and who have little or no rights and can be fired at will and who cannot even easily move from one part of China to another let alone leave China. This is what Chinese State Capitalism is.

Western countries accuse China as being aggressive while we sail our navy and do military excises off of their coastline and surround their country with our military bases. We talk about free trade when we export to them cars and planes but the second they are able to produce something that can compete with us then we accuse them of overcapacity and want to impose tariffs and bans.

    America pays most of the money spent in the Ukraine. I don't like Donald Trump, but I would prefer seeing more American taxpayer dollars directed toward domestic needs. Europe should pay most of the money for Ukraine. BTW, when have European dollars been directed towards helping the U.S. ? I recently saw an article where a Chinese diplomat charged China with interfering England's economic situation. The Chinese diplomat reply was that in a global economy sense, England's participation was miniscule. Times Radio seems to express wishful thinking instead of accurately describing situations.
