How has this been the case, especially following the collapse of the U.S.S.R., when the justifications for a so-called free world led by the U.S. Its power unmatched by any other nation, including China. empire, despite pulling troops out of Afghanistan and the rise of China, and the global recessions, continues to loom over the rest of the world.
China does not have the same level of allies nor the individual strength the U.S. and Australia have formed an alliance (of nations built on colonial plunder but think of themselves as arbiters of “freedom”), sending in submarines to surround China, a move that China cannot replicate. In fact, the Biden administration, the U.K. In reality, the greater danger in Asia is that Washington could so militarize its response to China that its actions and policies become repugnant even to U.S. Yet there are no signs that Washington is losing either the will or the capacity to remain a major military actor in the region and one closely connected to major Asian allies, which are themselves opposed to China dominating the region. This would presumably have an existential impact by virtue of the supposedly critical importance of that region to the stability and prosperity of the United States.

China, its most recent competitor, has one. military has nearly 800 military bases scattered over 70 countries.
