Good to hear from you!

China is most countries' largest trading partner, but Russia and the global south are diversifying. Brazil imports and exports more with Russia than in previous years, and BRICS proposes alternative finance options. I don't see a unipolar world on the horizon because the disdain for one-nation dependency has taught the world valuable lessons.

I also think we project our goals onto the world, and world dominance isn't the objective. Many governments want to invest in their nations instead of focusing on global power. China hasn't pursued the US political and economic philosophies and funds domestic programs instead of pursuing wealth for a minority.

Russia, under Putin, refuses to yield to foreign demands, and maybe, beating the US isn't Russia's and China's goal. Countries want to freely pursue their interests without the US dictating the rules, and no one can do this while the US controls every aspect of the globe.

Who knows? Maybe, everybody wants to rule the world. I just want to eat ice cream on the beach. so I don't get it.
