Summary: China's rise will inevitably bring the United States' unipolar moment to an end. But that does not necessarily mean a violent power struggle or the overthrow of the Western system. The U.S.-led international order can remain dominant even while integrating a more powerful China -- but only if Washington sets about strengthening that liberal order now.rs238848.rs.hosteurope.de7 f: G- v: N4 n' J1 Y4 ^/ r# q: G G.
