Napoleon is reported to have said ‘’China is a sleeping giant, when she wakes she will shake the world’’. China plays a significant role in world affairs and one must endure the chine’s struggle by which she elevates itself to the apogee of success in a very short span of time. The quietest struggle ever made by anyone is China because in such an environment where the hegemony of the USA was floating at the skies and the competitor was slashed down to the earth. Adding to this, in the time where no system was acceptable to the USA who could pose a threat to its superiority. In the time when the entire world had stifled, China emerged as a global economy posing a threat to the USA. After the split down of the USSR, the USA could not imagine such drastic changes that could directly hit its core tenet of global superiority, but China’s emergence terrified them and compelled them to ponder about the emerging threat. Since then, the USA containment policy has been in place and tried for several times to rebuff China’s emergence but none could mirror with any significant results. Furthermore, the USA is less likely remain interested into the affairs of Russia and wants to divert its policies to IndoPacific where China induces its force to gear up its economy, by reducing the Chinese influence the USA is engaging itself with IndoPacific countries by encapsulating agreements like AUKUS, Quad etc.

Reuters reported that the USA sells $157.5 billion military equipment which is obvious that the USA has indulged in this heinous trade that has threatened world’s peace. On the other hand China’s exports of mechanical and electrical products reached 13.92 trillion Yuan. This stark difference in the approaches of both the countries let us in conclusion who can we call severe of the pierce world?

In another noteworthy development, China is pacing off as its struggle to unite the old disgruntled states who were stern enemies of each other. Once Saudi Arabia and Iran were considered harsh enemies and a striking threat to each other’s sovereignty are now setting a front by the help of the utmost efforts of China. Adding to that, the recently concluded covenant between Fatah and Hamas shows the Chinese intention of global peace. On one side China is engaged to unite the world on the other hand the USA fanning the fire by providing a whopping amount of assistance to Israel which has thundering bombs upon millions of civilians. Furthermore, despite the USA trying to fix Russia_Ukrain’s conflict, she is busy providing a huge amount of money and munitions that neither let Ukraine win over Russia nor relinquish efforts for war.

Contemporarily, China is a pivotal power and shall not be tried to corner it aside but should encourage it to usher in more power. In the fast forward changing scenario, China’s role cannot be ignored because of its dynamic approach to world affairs and at every corner of the world China is rooted. Despite trying to demonize China, it would be in the better interest of the world to shoulder it.

Although China has been taking the driving seat but without the collaboration of the USA China cannot solely fix the world affairs which have been in mayhem since long. Unanimous approach must be followed to rejuvenate the entire structure and build a peaceful world where threats to the peace deter for always. The USA must endures the reality of Chinese development and shall not go into animosity with China but go hand in hand to settle down the world unsettled issues.
