China is a great country with a lot of technology going on there and their economy is also growing rapidly but i don't see them taking over world power from US soon. They might become world power in the future but just as it took the Americans many things before they got recognized, same way it will take China a lot to achieve that. Mind you, world power cannot be achieved without a fight so China should prepare themselves for war if they want world power.
I do not think China's goal is to usurp America's number one position, or that BRICS seeks to defeat NATO and G7 to dominate the globe. What I see is that they are trying to create a multipolar world, a world where power is distributed rather than concentrated in the hands of one country or one group. That's why I support BRICS
You may be right but even if China or the BRICS nation is not planning to overtake America as world power but i feel that America is threatened by the rapid development in technology and economy of these countries especially China and Russia so they won't see them as people who only want evenly distribution of power anymore which means a conflict may arise and cause mayhem.
To achieve a new global order, war will be inevitable. But in my opinion, China, America or even Russia will not directly confront each other. Because once that happen, it is the end of humanity and it does not matter who wins anymore. Instead, they will create more proxy wars and that is what we are experiencing.
This is true because these country's you mentioned have global influence and military apparatus to fight wars which means that if they decide to collide and fight, a lot of countries will feel the hit of the war thereby leading to a global tension that might ruin the existence of humanity, they know this already and i don't think they can risk it because they know the aftermath.
