What is a 'multipolar' world? China says equality; Trump & Marco Rubio say imperial rivalry
dimanche 16 février 2025 • Duration 23:32
It's now widely acknowledged we are in a multipolar world, but the definition of "multipolarity" is not clear. Donald Trump and Marco Rubio think it means a return to great power competition with imperial spheres of influence, whereas China and much of the Global South say "equality among all countries regardless of size". Ben Norton explains the geopolitical divide.
