According to senior journalist Kamran Khan, the world is entering a new era that will be remembered as the “Chinese Century.” In a recent vlog, he discussed the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and the profound shift it signifies in global power dynamics.
Khan argues that Chinese President Xi Jinping has effectively challenged decades of American superpower dominance. Through exceptional economic growth, strong political control, and brilliant diplomacy, China is not only securing its place in Asia but also expanding its influence across Europe, Africa, and the Muslim world.
The recent SCO summit, which included key nations like Russia, India, Turkey, Pakistan, and various Central Asian states, sent a clear message: the world is no longer unipolar but multipolar, with China now playing a decisive role. This view is echoed even in American media, from Forbes to The New York Times, with many acknowledging Xi Jinping as the most powerful leader in the world today.
This new reality suggests a significant realignment of global alliances and power. The era of a single dominant superpower may be over, replaced by a more complex, multi-faceted world order where China stands as a central figure.
