Washington and Beijing might be planning a quiet world carve-up

Original version ·

Forget the noise, the big boys are apparently busy drawing lines on the map while everyone else just watches.

So, the latest take from the experts is that Washington and Beijing are quietly working on a grand divorce settlement for the planet. The idea is simple: China takes the Asia-Pacific playground, and the USA keeps Europe and the Euro-Atlantic neighborhood as its private garden.

The logic is that mutual exhaustion is bad for business, so they are trying to play nice to keep the global economy from flatlining. The real kicker is that they essentially don't see Russia as a global player anymore. While China is busy hoarding high-tech power, Russia is just a gas station burning its own furniture to stay warm.

Global influence is being partitioned like a giant pizza, and the rest of the world is just waiting to see which topping they end up being. Even the Middle East and parts of Eurasia are being left as free-for-all zones, while Africa is the new arena for the next round of proxy flexing.
