It is expected that China will surpass the US in an economical sense and this can lead to economic and serious militairy conflicts because the US doesn't want to play a second fiddle on the worldstage after being a hegemon for decades. Which course will the EU follow? The autor paints a sunny perspective for China, Central Asia and Russia but at the same time a doomsday-scenario for the US and other Anglo-Saxon countries.
