For a long time, the United States viewed its economic supremacy as a natural state of affairs, almost a written destiny in history. However, looking at global historical cycles, this leadership now appears increasingly fragile. The rise of China is a recent phenomenon that coincides with a return to a historical balance rooted in the distant past. Historically, as highlighted by Fortune magazine, the economic center of the world was located in Asia, primarily between China and India, which makes the American dominance, solidified post-World War II, a temporary exception, supported by the decline or crises of other major global players. With the global context changing, Beijing is gradually but surely eroding the U.S. economic primacy.
