Are we getting closer to a multipolar world? (lemmygrad.ml)

I think we're far from it for now. China still depends on ASML (West) and is nowhere near learning to do EUV for chipmaking.

The process of multipolarity starts at the peak of american hegemony, it starts at the dismantlement of the Soviet union, which was the quantitative leap to american hegemony, its only downhill from there. Its like Hegel said, life itself bears the germ of death. American hegemony itself bears the germ of multipolarity.

The small quantitative gains since then have lead to the qualitative changes we are all witnessing now, the question is which will be the big qualitative leap that marks the end of american hegemony and the start of multipolarity, and even more interesting, what comes after multipolarity?

I think you're exactly right, this is the proper dialectical way of viewing things, as a process.

the question is which will be the big qualitative leap

I would argue that February 2022 was that qualitative leap. But maybe i'm too optimistic, idk.
