Tony Blair believes the West's dominance is coming to an end. Here's why

Former British prime minister Tony Blair says the world is at a turning point in history comparable with the end of World War Two or the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The Ukraine war shows the West's dominance is coming to an end as China rises to superpower status in partnership with Russia at one of the most significant inflection points in centuries, former British prime minister Tony Blair says.

The world, Mr Blair said, was at a turning point in history comparable with the end of World War Two or the collapse of the Soviet Union: but this time the West is clearly not in the ascendant.

"We are coming to the end of Western political and economic dominance," Mr Blair said in a lecture entitled "After Ukraine, What Lessons Now for Western Leadership?" according to a text of the speech to a forum supporting the alliance between the United States and Europe at Ditchley Park west of London.


"The world is going to be at least bi-polar and possibly multi-polar," Mr Blair said.

"The biggest geo-political change of this century will come from China not Russia."

The question is that will China go after the West for the past break up of China?

It would likely be a boiling frogs strategy.

There is no question whom China is going after....for its own domestic stability, prosperity, wealth, security and future well-being.

And they had been using the same strategy for thousands of years - The only difference in post 20th Century is the speed of PRC's rise.

Full article of his speech - which reflects typical AMTK thinking...that you will only be respected when you are strong and successful.

"We should show that with different Chinese attitudes to us, come different attitudes from us; that we accept China’s status as a world power; that we respect Chinese culture and its people..."
