IN TODAY’S REAL WORLD, THE WEST CANNOT COMPETE WITH THE EAST

THE EASTERN BLOC IS GROWING THROUGH STRONG INDUSTRIAL AND MONETARY POLICIES

Over the past decades, several countries within the Eastern bloc, with China in a leading position, have recorded very high levels of economic and industrial growth compared to many Western economies. This development has been supported by a combination of expansive industrial, monetary, and infrastructure policies.

Through strong coordination between the State, the banking system, and major industrial groups, these countries have carried out massive investments in public and private infrastructure, energy networks, transportation, telecommunications, education, research, and productive capacity.

In many cases, large strategic companies — in sectors such as energy, finance, transportation, telecommunications, steel, chemicals, manufacturing, and agribusiness — are either state-owned, state-controlled, or operate with direct support from public financial instruments and government-controlled banks.

Private companies considered strategic may also benefit from public support measures, subsidized credit, industrial incentives, or national development programs aimed at increasing international competitiveness and the country’s productive capacity.

This model has enabled the creation of large industrial hubs, the strengthening of manufacturing and logistics supply chains, and a strong presence in global markets for raw materials, manufacturing, and exports.

HOW CHINA BECAME ONE OF THE WORLD’S MAIN MANUFACTURING CENTERS

Among the main factors often cited as contributing to China’s industrial growth are:

Strong public and industrial investment capacity.
The Chinese economic system is characterized by strong coordination between the State, the banking system, and strategic enterprises. Over the years, this has enabled enormous investments in infrastructure, industrial production, research, energy, and logistics.

Large-scale production capacity.
China has developed industrial hubs of exceptional scale, aimed at global markets composed of billions of consumers. In many production areas, highly integrated industrial ecosystems have emerged, with suppliers, subcontractors, logistics centers, and technical expertise located within the same territory, generating major economies of scale.

Broad availability of technical and manufacturing expertise.
China’s university and technical education system trains a very large number of engineers, technicians, and specialized professionals every year, contributing to the strengthening of the country’s industrial and technological capabilities.

Orientation toward the real economy and industrial policy.
The Chinese model has historically prioritized manufacturing development, infrastructure, exports, and industrial production through long-term economic planning and support for sectors considered strategic.

Transfer and consolidation of industrial know-how.
China’s opening to foreign investment has, over time, facilitated the acquisition of productive, organizational, and technological expertise by local companies, which have progressively developed autonomous and internationally competitive capabilities.

Global economic network of the Chinese diaspora.
The presence of Chinese communities across many countries has contributed to the development of international commercial, logistical, and entrepreneurial networks that have supported the global expansion of the Chinese production system.

TWO WORLDS: ONE UNIPOLAR, DRIVEN BY A NARRATIVE IMPOSED BY A WAR-ORIENTED HEGEMON, AND ONE MULTIPOLAR, BASED ON PRODUCTIVE AND COMMERCIAL COOPERATION THROUGH MULTILATERAL RELATIONS FOUNDED ON MUTUAL RESPECT

From the Eastern perspective, there is a willingness to build a new world order based on respect for international principles, aimed at creating a multipolar world with multilateral relations, public fiat currency, and a monetary system supported by its own underlying value.

On the other side, there is the intention to preserve the world order of the last century, in which a hegemonic power remains free not to respect international principles — by violating or influencing UN resolutions and international courts in its own favor — with the aim of maintaining a unipolar world based on coercive relations and private fiat currency without underlying value.

For a certain period of time, the Western side may continue to resist by creating artificial barriers through wars, terrorist attacks against civilians and infrastructure, sanctions, and discrediting narratives.

However, in the long run, the development model adopted by the Eastern bloc may prevail, both because of its structural scale and because it directly and indirectly involves more than three-quarters of the world’s population.
