00:00Is America losing its influence as a superpower?
00:07This is the question that has gained the most importance on the international political platform at the moment.
00:14For many decades, the influence of America, which has been the only superpower, has been diminishing.
00:20Many countries in the world have started to rely on gold and Chinese currency instead of dollars for transactions.
00:28China is also challenging America's role as an economic and military power.
00:34Now there are talks of a new world order.
00:37America is trying to control the world as a superpower in the new world order.
00:44But China and Russia are trying to make the world a tug-of-war instead of a tug-of-war.
00:52Why is America losing its control over the world?
00:59The story of America gaining power is very old, but the real turn came during the First World War.
01:06Before this war, the imperial powers of Europe ruled the world.
01:11Most of the world's countries were slaves to these powers.
01:14As a result of the First World War, the whole world, including Europe, was under great destruction.
01:20The world's imperial powers were shocked.
01:23The Ottoman Empire was also shattered.
01:26New countries came into existence.
01:28In this war, America's territory was safe from any attack.
01:33When the world was covered in dust and blood, an industrial revolution was taking place in America.
01:39Its arms business was booming.
01:42After the war, the world was looking to America for a free trade.
01:48This gave many countries relief in the form of loans.
01:52With these loans, European countries were able to stand on their feet again.
01:57Thus, America succeeded in gaining an important position in the military arena.
02:02During the Second World War, America remained away from war for a long time.
02:07The whole world was selling its gold to buy weapons from America.
02:12Thus, America's economy became even stronger.
02:14In addition, its military power also increased.
02:17When America joined the Second World War, it became a decisive force.
02:23By dropping an atomic bomb on Japan, it stopped the war.
02:26At the same time, it made the whole world proud of its military power.
02:33Before the Second World War, there were different superpowers in the world.
02:37But now they were over.
02:39The Ottoman Empire ended as a result of the First World War.
02:42So Britain lost its status as a world superpower after the Second World War.
02:48Now only two powers remained in the world.
02:51One was the Soviet Union.
02:53The other was America.
02:55In the form of NATO, it formed the largest military alliance in the world with Europe.
03:02The whole world established its military bases.
03:05At the same time, it became the guardian of the republic and the capitalist system.
03:09It was the largest military power in the world.
03:12At the same time, its economy had also become the largest.
03:16Its currency had become the form of dollar and army currency.
03:20The whole world was at its feet.
03:23But the Soviet Union was still in its face.
03:26Both countries directly fought the war, which was caused by nuclear power.
03:32But in many countries of the world, proxies fought against each other.
03:36It was called the Cold War.
03:38When the Soviet Union ended as a result of the war in Afghanistan,
03:42America had become the only superpower in the world.
03:48Everything was under its control.
03:50It could impose restrictions on anyone and stop anyone from doing anything.
03:56But two incidents have shocked the image of its superpower.
04:03The biggest incident is China's rise as an economic power.
04:09It has become the second largest economy in the world.
04:12At the same time, its military power is also increasing day by day.
04:15The second incident is the war between Russia and Ukraine.
04:18When the United States imposed restrictions on Russia,
04:21the world realized for the first time that being the only superpower is not good for the global system.
04:29In February 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine.
04:32In response, the United States and its allied European countries imposed the strictest restrictions on Russia.
04:40More than 17,000 restrictions have been imposed on Russia,
04:43which is increasing every day.
04:45Countries have started to look at themselves instead of Russia.
04:49This thought has become common that if America wants, it can destroy any country economically.
04:55The big reason for this is the influence of the dollar in global trade.
05:00After this, the practice of de-dollarization in the world began to accelerate.
05:05Countries started to invest in local currencies instead of dollars.
05:09Chinese currency began to be seen as an exchange.
05:12The biggest example of this is the mutual trade between Russia and China.
05:17By the end of 2023, mutual trade in both countries was more than $200 billion.
05:23The dollar was almost completely abandoned for this exchange.
05:27Both countries did 95% mutual trade in local currency.
05:32After the war between Russia and Ukraine, the world began to increase gold deposits along with exchange currency.
05:39Because this is a universal currency that has been going on since ancient times.
05:44The world gradually bought gold and began to keep it in its exchange deposits.
05:49This is why the price of gold increased rapidly all over the world.
05:54Gold, which was once unimportant for global trade, has now become the most important.
06:02Its price has also reached the sky.
06:05The United States was seen as a peacemaker.
06:10If there was a dispute between the two countries, the United States would intervene and resolve the issue.
06:16In 2019, there was a dispute between Pakistan and India.
06:19Pakistan dropped India's plane and arrested a pilot.
06:23After this, both countries reached the brink of war.
06:26Both countries prepared their missiles, but then the United States intervened and cooled the situation.
06:33Only four years after this incident, China also became a part of the peacemaker.
06:39In 2023, peace treaties were signed between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
06:45The bilateral relations between the two countries ended in 2016, but China established peace in both countries.
06:52Every country has begun to decide for its own benefit.
06:56A big example of this is Saudi Arabia.
06:58When restrictions were imposed on Russia, the United States forced the Arab countries to increase oil supply.
07:04So that oil prices could be controlled.
07:07But the countries that produced oil under Saudi Arabia were seen to prefer their interests in this matter.
07:14These countries neither increased oil production nor reduced prices.
07:21Despite all the warnings from the United States, China has become its biggest trade partner.
07:28Another major reason for America's superpower weakness is its disloyalty and unnecessary wars.
07:35It has fought wars directly in many countries.
07:37It has carried out regime change operations in many countries.
07:40In this regard, it has not spared the United States.
07:43Take Pakistan as an example.
07:45Pakistan fought a war in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union.
07:50When the war ended, it left Pakistan helpless.
07:54It attacked Afghanistan directly.
07:57This time, Pakistan was made a scapegoat.
08:01The reward for these sacrifices was given to Pakistan in the form of various U.S. sanctions.
08:07If this kind of attitude is adopted with the United States, they will be forced to join hands with the alternative power.
08:16In this regard, China is convincing itself as an alternative option.
08:21The United States has also realized that its role as a superpower is becoming limited.
08:27That's why it has started talking about a new world order.
08:32Last year, the U.S. Secretary of State talked about this in a speech.
08:37He said that the old world order is losing its legitimacy in the last half century.
08:43That's why a new world order is needed to establish peace in the world.
08:49It should be in the hands of the United States.
08:51Russia and China are also in favor of a new world order.
08:54But they want a world order in which no country has unlimited power.
09:03In fact, the world is rapidly moving towards a new world order in which China is emerging as a superpower and an alternative option.
09:18That's all for now. Stay tuned for more interesting videos from Daily Pakistan.
