Today's great power relations are continuing to undergo a period of transition. Compared with the emerging powers, the lead of the U.S. economy is narrowing, but U.S. military power is still expanding. Bogged down by two wars and the financial crisis, the United States has had to reduce its power and turn its attention to the domestic situation. Due to the difficulties America is facing and the changes in its foreign policy posture, academia and the media have promoted discussions about the decline of America, leading to more attention being paid to China's international status. Even though there are a number of forecasts that predict that China's GDP will surpass that of the U.S., there are limits to such assessments. In reality, it will be a long time before China will become a truly strong power. Given the current international situation whereby the dominant position of the United States vis-à-vis China is falling, other countries do not want to take responsibility for leadership, and multinational coordination of international mechanisms is taking shape, there is a trend toward decentralization in international relations. To a certain extent, such an international structure is also the result of the development of global governance. <<
