Rising geopolitical tensions might be here to stay, according to John Ross, a Senior Fellow at Renmin University’s Chongyang Institute. In an exclusive interview with CGTN’s Guan Xin, Ross argued that U.S. efforts to cling to its No. 1 global status are ‘trying to achieve something impossible’—and the fallout could shape global dynamics for years. 🌐
💡 ‘We’re in for several dangerous decades,’ Ross warned, pointing to escalating rivalries over tech, trade, and military influence. With over 30 years of experience analyzing U.S.-China relations, he likened the situation to a high-stakes ‘Game of Thrones’ scenario—but with real-world consequences for economies and young people worldwide. 🔥
🌏 For Asia-focused entrepreneurs and students, the implications are stark: market volatility, supply-chain disruptions, and tighter cross-border policies could ripple across industries. Ross emphasized dialogue over confrontation: ‘Zero-sum games only create losers.’ 💬
🤝 The takeaway? Global stability might hinge on whether world leaders—and Gen Z activists—can push for cooperation over competition. As Ross put it: ‘The future isn’t written yet.’ ✨
