China’s rise: multipolarity provides a framework for socialist advance
China is not simply looking for world order that gives it more influence but one where every nation's sovereignty will be increased. This is a vision that the left must support in word and deed, seizing every opportunity that it will bring, writes CARLOS MARTINEZ
THE slogan “neither Washington nor Beijing but international socialism” is predicated on the notion that China is an emerging imperialist power and that the struggle between the US and China is an inter-imperialist rivalry.
In this series, I have attempted to prove this assumption incorrect; that the basic character of global politics in the current era is a struggle between the US-led push for its continued hegemony and the China-led push for a multipolar world order.
One key remaining question is whether China’s vision of multipolarity offers any opportunity for global socialist advance. This is not simply a matter of idle curiosity for the radical left.
