China, Europe, and the U.S. are some of the biggest national contenders when it comes to government power. We've discussed in class that the U.S. is a hegemon due to its overwhelming military and size advantages, but what would happen if China joined forces with another country? Unfortunately for China, they've had crumbling friendships all around. China's authoritarianist regime seems to rub many country's the wrong way, making it progressively more difficult to paint Xi Jinping as a good leader. Citizens in the U.S. have a growing concern that Trump is not handling relations with China all too well; citing that these conflicts may spark something greater. Luckily, it doesn't seem like we have to worry about the CCP tag-teaming with another national superpower to take us down.
