Is China becoming more powerful than the United States? The relationship between the United States and China has evolved over the years, with profound implications for global geopolitics. Over the past 30 years, the power gap between the two countries has narrowed, favoring China, which is increasingly moving closer to US hegemony. Despite significant absolute gains for both, China benefits more in relative terms. The US’s bid to transform China into a capitalist democracy through economic openness has not materialized, with China becoming even more authoritarian under the leadership of Xi Jinping. The current geopolitical situation is complex and worrying. Major investors, such as Ray Dalio, express concerns about a possible increase in geopolitical risk, especially in light of the upcoming US elections. According to Dalio, the transition of power between great powers rarely occurs without conflict, and he believes that we are heading towards an inevitable clash. He emphasizes that to avoid a confrontation, one of the powers must collapse on its own, as happened with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Otherwise, the scenario points to a possible Third World War, with China and the US on a collision course. China seeks to revisit the status quo, wanting to unify Taiwan by force, which could trigger a reaction from the US and its allies. The balance of power thesis suggests that if the US does not defend Taiwan, this could lead countries like Japan to reconsider their alliances and strengthen their defenses. The interconnection between countries like Russia, Iran, North Korea and Venezuela reinforces the gravity of the scenario, recalling the alliances seen in the Second World War.
