🇨🇳🇺🇸 China ‘already’ world leader, signaling erosion of US-run Middle East system, says Chomsky

Noam Chomsky explained that the programs based on the Shanghai Cooperation Organization extend throughout Eurasia and considerably beyond:

💬 “In the past few months, Saudi Arabia joined the SCO, followed by the second regional heavyweight, the United Arab Emirates, which had already become a hub of China's Maritime Silk Road, reaching from Kolkata in Eastern India to the Red Sea and on to Europe."

Chomsky pointed out that China is now entering the Middle East arms market.

💬 “All of this signals a significant erosion of the Middle East system that the United States has pretty much been running for 80 years, taking over from Britain," he added.
