Don’t Overestimate America and China’s Importance
This opinion article argues against the simplistic view that only the United States and China matter in global affairs, while the West and BRICS+ are irrelevant. The author, launching a new policy platform, highlights three factors that limit superpower influence and allow smaller powers to exert disproportionate impact. The piece emphasizes that transnational problems such as infectious disease, antimicrobial resistance, climate change, AI governance, and global economic imbalances require cooperation beyond just the US and China, advocating for closer ties between the West and the BRICS+ group of emerging economies.
