Does Martin Jacques believe China will dominate the West?
My argument is not necessarily about a simple dominance in the sense of conquest. Rather, I contend that the Western model, particularly its political and economic hegemony, is in decline. China's rise signifies a more complex rebalancing of global power, where its civilizational model and its growing influence will reshape the international system. The 'end of the Western world' refers to the waning of its singular, unchallenged authority and the emergence of a multipolar, or rather, a polycentric order.
