Description

John J. Mearsheimer is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 1982. Prof. Mearsheimer discusses how the shift from American hegemony to multipolarity compels the great powers to develop very different strategies. Liberal delusions are fading away and states must see the world as it is, not how they would like it to be.

The difference between China and US being that China is not trying to blokade US trade, and US is trying to prevent Chinese trade around the world. China is trading and competing peacefully, and winning. On the other hand, US cannot compete peacefully, and therefore is trying to get rid of competition by force.

As an American, I think that the country which needs to be contained isn't China. It's the United States.

In fairness, Mearsheimer's emphasis is in how the U.S. maintains its global hegemony not about equity or social justice

Oh dear John Mearsheimer, interpreting China through the US lense of global domination runs in the face of history. China has never sought to expand its territory bar Tibet or behaved like a colonial power

A big problem with the US being the hedgemon is they demand you be subservient to them and their needs above yours and even use you dry. China does not do that
