China is actively countering U.S. pressure by strengthening its global influence through strategic economic, technological, and geopolitical measures. Central to this strategy is the BRICS Bridge, enabling China to build independent supply chains and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar. With a focus on technological self-sufficiency, cybersecurity, and defense, China is positioning itself to lead in a multipolar world order.
multifaceted pressure — through trade and financial wars, technological confrontation, cyber warfare and propaganda campaigns — China has turned in the opposite direction. The U.S. has singled China out as its main strategic competitor, enacting multiple anti-China bills that express its strategic anxiety. But China has a forward-looking and deliberate approach with which not only is it addressing these challenges, but it is also on track to reorganize the global order on its own terms.
In effect, China is using multilateral opportunities to reconstitute global relationships. BRICS Bridge stands out as its cornerstone under this strategy as per China’s vision. Through closer relations within BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa—China is building robust supply chains, independent economic ecosystems. With joint technology and infrastructure projects linked to mutual access to national currencies for financial exchanges, such cooperation seeks to reduce global dependence on the US dollar and seek a new path that supports South-South cooperation. China’s position at the head of this bloc positions it to help reimagine a future multipolar economic order. But China is not just interested in economic benefits in this region. Beijing’s blueprint for safeguarding its strategic interests includes technological independence through accelerated domestic innovation, enhanced cybersecurity, and strengthened defense capabilities. Concurrently, through internationalization of the yuan and diversifying global supply chains, China is trying to reduce its economic vulnerabilities. While the U.S. struggles to hold on to its international hegemony, China is steadily moving toward world domination in economics and technology.
- The question now is: Will Washington sustain its preeminence, or will it have to reckon with Chinese-led ascendance in a multipolar world?
