El error de EEUU que da el poder a China: así cae la hegemonía de Washington

The US Mistake That Hands Power to China: How Washington's Hegemony Falls There comes a point in the life of empires when domination ceases to be seen as a guarantee of order and stability and becomes an unsustainable source of cost and uncertainty. The devastating Pew Research Center report confirms that this threshold has already been crossed: for the first time in two decades, Beijing surpasses Washington in global favorability by a ten-point margin. True to the diagnosis of hegemonic decline formulated by theorists such as Robert Gilpin and Robert Keohane, the United States has gone from providing global public goods—security of trade routes, monetary predictability, and multilateral institutions—to behaving as a purely extractive actor. By punishing its own allies with unilateral tariffs and demanding exclusive loyalty in exchange for ever-decreasing protection, Washington is reproducing the same dynamic of fiscal erosion and loss of legitimacy that undermined the Pax Romana and the British Empire. The paradox of this hegemonic interregnum is that the collapse of American prestige does not imply blind adherence to the Chinese authoritarian model, but rather a pragmatic reconfiguration of global alliances. Countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia are watching as the current hegemon undermines the international order it itself built, forcing them to recalculate their position within the system to diversify their risks. When the dominant power abandons benign leadership and replaces cooperation with aggressive negotiation, the system loses its anchor. As Pew statistics demonstrate, geopolitical arrogance has become Washington's most ruinous strategy: the great empires of history have never been destroyed by the strength of their rivals, but by the fatal moment when they became convinced they no longer needed their allies. #USA #China #hegemony #world #error #Trump #XinjinPing #worldorder #allies #geopolitics #Intereconomia
