Garland Nixon on the ‘Pivot to China’
Those who seek hegemony think only in terms of win-lose and can't imagine win-win : they must be the only ones to win. They think that this is to win big, but is actually to win small, as well as being morally evil. China on the other hand, has always sought win-win. By helping others develop, rather than enslaving them, the win is far bigger. This is termed 'common prosperity'. And this is what the world must do if it is to survive. Don't miss it.
