The former British prime minister also says the war in Ukraine had clarified that the West could not rely on China 'to behave in the way we would consider rational.'
LONDON, United Kingdom – The Ukraine war shows that the West’s dominance is coming to an end as China rises to superpower status in partnership with Russia at one of the most significant inflection points in centuries, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said.
“We are coming to the end of Western political and economic dominance,” Blair said in a lecture entitled “After Ukraine, What Lessons Now for Western Leadership?” according to a text of the speech to a forum supporting the alliance between the United States and Europe at Ditchley Park west of London.
President Vladimir Putin says the West has declared economic war by trying to isolate Russia’s economy with sanctions and the Kremlin says Russia will turn to powers such as China and India. Chinese President Xi Jinping has continued supporting Putin and criticized sanctions “abuse” by the West. Putin has forged what he calls a “strategic partnership” with China.
