In a panel held in the context of the 7th Conference of Strategic Studies, under the slogan ¨Global Order: Conflicts and Geopolitical Tensions¨, the specialists analyzed China´s role in reconfiguring international relations.
To Javier Vadell, at the Pontificia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, Brazil, China thwarts unilateral U.S. action and creates a new social formation based on multilateralism, with important implications for both geopolitical and geoeconomic orders.
Its fast-paced growth in several areas is seen by the United States as a danger to its hegemonic interests, Vadell pointed out.
David M. Castrillón, at the Universidad de Externado de Colombia, on the other hand, said that in this scenario of new international order, characterized by instability, a new global recession for developing countries is taking place.
Ernesto Domínguez, head of the Center for Hemispheric and U.S. Studies at the University of Havana, said that in this context, the Taiwan conflict is as or more important than the one in Ukraine.
Taiwan is the world’s leading chip producer, manufacturing over 90% globally. Hence, U.S. sanctions are aimed primarily at advanced technology companies.
