The UN Charter and the international conventions that once constrained national behavior and made the world somewhat safe and predictable are now ever more widely flouted<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like constitutional democracy, respect for international law is now in retreat. It is unclear whether it will be displaced by a version of \u201crule by law\u201d or by an anarchy in which, as Thucydides wrote, \u201cthe strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.\u201d Sadly, Thucydides would not be surprised by what is happening in Ukraine, in Palestine, at the United Nations, or at the International Court at the Hague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we cannot fix the UN, we must replace it, as we did the League of Nations. Sub-global institutions with less than universal membership, limited cohesion, uncertain authority, and no demonstrated capacity to address planetwide problems increasingly substitute for the global institutions and legal frameworks created by the international community after World War II. Sadly, my country will not lead the effort to reform these institutions or to preserve international law. Therefore, others must do this as best they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>America\u2019s distraught response to its loss of economic and political primacy has been to adopt protectionist trade and investment policies and to militarize its foreign policy. But neither protectionism nor militarism can or will \u201cmake America great again.\u201d And neither is an answer to hegemonic overextension \u2013 \u201ctrying to squash ten fleas at once with all ten fingers\u201d \u2013 \u201c\u5341\u4e2a\u624b\u6307\u6309\u5341\u4e2a\u8df3\u86a4\u201c \u2013 an absurd effort that is both futile and debilitating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the nuclear age, no great power should wish to make an implacable enemy of another. But that is how Washington is currently treating both Beijing and Moscow. Meanwhile, the threat of nuclear escalation is demonstrably no longer an effective deterrent against conventional warfare between nuclear powers. Russia is the world\u2019s most heavily armed nuclear power, but the United States has become engaged in a losing proxy war with it in Ukraine. India and Pakistan have fought each other despite their nuclear arsenals. But the risk of escalation to the nuclear level is serious. Just wait till a nuclear power faces a threat of defeat it regards as existential!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that no navy of any great power has fought a major battle in seventy-nine years. There have been no major amphibious landings since 1950 (seventy-four years ago). There have been no direct air battles between peer competitors since 1954 in Korea, when the embryonic Chinese air force and north Korean planes piloted by Russians engaged in dog fights with the US Air Force. That was seventy years ago. Western combat experience against all but insurgencies is lacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, we are witnessing the end of a unified, Western-dominated global order and its replacement by a hodgepodge of collaborations and rivalries at the sub-global level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Something similar happened to cause the devastating chaos of the \u201cThirty Years\u2019 War\u201d in Europe. That was a disorder composed of warring states, much like the history of China before the Qin unification or India before A\u015boka. But the \u201cThirty Years\u2019 War\u201d ended in the establishment in the Peace of Westphalia of a system of peaceful coexistence between multiple sovereign states that respected their cultural diversity. Its result is memorialized in the \u201cfive principles of peaceful coexistence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question for your generation and the next in China, the West, and the rest of the world is whether we can replicate that outcome and end our descent into anarchy. We need to craft a peace based on mutual respect for each other\u2019s territorial integrity and sovereignty, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in each other\u2019s internal affairs, tolerance, and equality and cooperation for mutual benefit. If we cannot not do this, we risk more than our prosperity. We risk our very existence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[\u0395\u03bd \u03bf\u03bb\u03af\u03b3\u03bf\u03b9\u03c2, \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03cc\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5

conceptually correctly grasp the &#8220;Rules Based International Order&#8221;, namely as an attempt of conducting &#8220;Rule by Law&#8221; as opposed to the universalist approach of International Law (under the United Nations), which is the &#8220;Rule of Law.&#8221; Brilliant analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambassador Freeman also discusses in detail China&#8217;s rise, the connection of international order with Chinese political concepts, and he gives a fascinating account of where we are at in this brave new world of the Post Post-Cold-War. And let me tell you, multipolarity is not what you think it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for those who don&#8217;t want to wait till the grand finale, here is his conclusion:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In short, we are witnessing the end of a unified, Western-dominated global order and its replacement by a hodgepodge of collaborations and rivalries at the sub-global level.

That was a disorder composed of warring states, much like the history of China before the Qin unification or India before A\u015boka. But the \u201cThirty Years\u2019 War\u201d ended in the establishment in the Peace of Westphalia of a system of peaceful coexistence between multiple sovereign states that respected their cultural diversity. Its result is memorialized in the \u201cfive principles of peaceful coexistence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question for your generation and the next in China, the West, and the rest of the world is whether we can replicate that outcome and end our descent into anarchy. We need to craft a peace based on mutual respect for each other\u2019s territorial integrity and sovereignty, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in each other\u2019s internal affairs, tolerance, and equality and cooperation for mutual benefit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;If we cannot not do this, we risk more than our prosperity. We risk our very existence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The World Is DONE With The West.
