The New Cold War: U.S. vs China—Who's Really Winning the Race to 2025?

Описание: Is it a new Cold War? Yes. But who is actually winning the U.S. vs. China conflict in 2025?

The verdict up front: There is no single winner. The conflict is a complex, domain-specific battle for global influence. We break down the competition across seven critical dimensions, using the latest trends in technology, finance, and military strategy.

The U.S. Retains Decisive Leverage in:

• Finance & Currency: The dollar remains the global reserve currency, allowing for unparalleled sanctions leverage.

• Technology Choke Points: Control over cutting-edge semiconductor design and lithography tooling (CHIPS Act, ASML restrictions).

• Alliances: Revitalized defense structures (AUKUS, Quad, NATO engagement) that bolster global projection.


China Leads the World in:

• Industrial Scale: Dominating manufacturing, especially solar panels, EVs, and batteries (largest exporter of goods). 

• Regional Power: Massive investment through the Belt & Road Initiative and assertive regional military posture (A2/AD). 

• Digital Sovereignty: Developing a protected domestic tech ecosystem (Baidu, WeChat, BeiDou GNSS).

This is a deep dive into the scorecard of the most important geopolitical competition of our lifetime.
