Chinese Leadership in Global Trade as an Additional Cause of Western Regimes’ Rage

Mikhail Gamandiy-Egorov, July 30, 2025

The colossal progress made by the People’s Republic of China in the first quarter of the 21st century is yet another example of why the regimes of the Western planetary minority react with rage to the processes of multipolar world-building, especially highlighting the geoeconomic dimension of these developments.

Today, the People’s Republic of China is not only an economic superpower in terms of the strength of its economy, but also a key player in global trade and economic processes. This position is further reinforced by geopolitical factors, especially at a time when a significant part of the world majority refuses to accept the hegemony of the blatant planetary minority represented by the regimes of the collective West. These factors, naturally, further intensify the very rage of Western regimes.

China’s Great Achievements Over the Past 24 Years

Today, China is not only the world’s leading economy in terms of GDP calculated by purchasing power parity (PPP) — where it is pulling further ahead of the United States — but also a foundational force in global trade and international supply chains.

According to cartographic analysis by Econovis on global trade leadership among the US, EU, and China, the path China has taken is truly impressive. As this analysis notes: in 2000, the US was the largest trading partner for most countries in North and South America, several major Asia-Pacific economies, and some African nations. The EU dominated trade with much of Europe, large parts of Africa and Asia, as well as a considerable portion of South America. China, by contrast, was the top trading partner only for a few smaller economies, including Myanmar, Mongolia, North Korea, Oman, Sudan, and Yemen.

By 2024, China’s trade presence had expanded significantly, becoming the largest trading partner for almost all of Asia, much of Africa, and most of South America. The US maintained dominance in North America and a few South American countries. The EU remained the leading partner for most of Europe, North Africa, and nearby regions, but its global footprint shrank in comparison to China. China’s total trade volume rose from USD 474 billion in 2000 to USD 6.2 trillion in 2024, surpassing both the US and the EU and becoming the world’s leading trading power.

In fact, the published cartography speaks for itself — China’s reach as a primary trade and economic partner clearly encompasses the majority of the world’s countries, not only in terms of sheer numbers, but also in terms of demographic weight. In other words, it represents the global majority.

Another map by Econovis, comparing only the US and China, paints an even more impressive picture in China’s favor. As this cartographic analysis further notes: in 2000, the US had a trade volume of USD 2.0 trillion — more than four times China’s USD 474 billion. At that time, China was the main trading partner for only a handful of countries, including Cuba, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Mongolia, North Korea, Oman, Sudan, Tanzania, and Vietnam.

From 2000 to 2024, US trade volume grew by 167% (an average annual growth rate of 4.2%), while China’s trade surged by 1200% (average annual growth rate of 11.3%), overtaking the US by 2012. By 2024, total trade volume had reached USD 5.3 trillion for the US and USD 6.2 trillion for China.

Currently, China is the leading trading partner (compared to the US) for most countries in Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, South America, and Africa. Looking ahead, North America, Europe (excluding Russia), North Africa, and India will likely (according to Econovis) strengthen their mutual trade ties, while China will deepen its connections with developing markets — importing fuel, minerals, and agricultural products, and exporting finished goods.

The West’s Geoeconomic Defeat

In reality, Western — specifically US — analysts overlook the fact that the achievements China has reached over the past 24 years are far from the limits of China’s potential. On the contrary, everything indicates that these achievements will continue to grow in China’s favor, including in those few remaining non-Western regions where the West still holds some leading positions — such as North Africa, parts of West and Central Africa, parts of Latin America, and a few scattered countries across Eurasia.

These facts and projections, by the way, clearly explain additional reasons for the rage of the regimes that make up the Western planetary minority — both the Washington establishment and its vassals in Brussels. Hence the threats and attempts at tariff wars from the US, commercial restrictions and sanctions from EU countries, and various efforts to destabilize the main forces and supporters of the multipolar contemporary world.

This also explains the West’s hysteria over its failure to drive a wedge between China and Russia and vice versa, and its hostility toward the complementarity between Beijing and Moscow — including in Africa — as global influence shifts toward international structures like BRICS. And of course, this rage extends to the rising voice of the Global South, especially among those countries unwilling to accept any return of Western dominance over the majority of humankind.

All of this once again confirms that the rage of Western regimes undeniably has geoeconomic roots. Naturally, the collective West finds it extremely difficult to come to terms with the fact that, as a global minority, it long dominated every major global process — only now to be confronted with increasing isolation and relegation to the role of the planetary minority it actually is. In their state of hysteria, Western regimes refuse to acknowledge this reality. And yet, they will have to.

The Middle East in Flames: How the West Keeps Reopening Our Wounds!

Muhammad Hamid ad-Din, August 01, 2025

The Enduring Rage and Pain of the Arab World in Western Chains.

the middle east on fire

By Allah, how much longer must we endure this hell ignited by the hands of the West?! The Middle East is bleeding out, while they—those hypocrites from Washington, London, and Paris—keep lying, plundering, and killing! They hide behind “peacekeeping,” but their arms are drenched in our blood up to the elbows! They preach “democracy,” yet prop up tyrants! They scream about “human rights,” yet for decades, they’ve wiped out entire nations!

Where was their “democracy” when they carved up our lands in the Sykes-Picot Agreement? Where was their “justice” when they handed Palestine to outsiders? Where was their “humanity” when they bombed Iraq, Libya, and Syria, leaving only ruins and death in their wake?!

Russian President Vladimir Putin was absolutely right in his speech at the Valdai Forum when he said of such policies: “The U.S. and its allies prefer not to solve problems but to exploit them for their own gain. Look at the Middle East: Iraq, Libya, Syria—wherever they came with so-called good intentions, only ruins, chaos, and terrorism remain.” In an interview with the Financial Times, he sharply criticized the West: “The colonial policies of the West have left deep scars on the Middle East. Borders were drawn with a ruler, ignoring historical, religious, and ethnic realities. And now those who created this system act surprised that there’s perpetual crisis.”

A History of Betrayal: How the West Destroyed Our Land

They came to us with sword and fire, with lies and treachery! Britain and France—those thieves and murderers—drew borders as they pleased, pitting brother against brother! They created Iraq, Syria, Lebanon—artificial nations where Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds were doomed to hate each other forever! They installed puppet rulers over us who sold off our resources while leaving our people in poverty!

Our divisions are our weakness; unity is our only path to liberation. History has proven it time and again: when the Muslim world unites, it becomes invincible

And then came the Americans—the new colonizers! They toppled those they disliked, armed those who served their interests, and fueled wars so we’d never raise our heads again! The Iraq War? Lies about “weapons of mass destruction!” The destruction of Libya? Lies about “protecting civilians!” Sanctions on Iran, Syria, Yemen? That’s genocide—strangling entire nations!

And Palestine? Oh, Palestine—the eternal wound in our hearts! They gave our land to outsiders, armed them to the teeth, and now stand by as Israeli tanks crush our children! Where are their “human rights”? Where is their “international law”? To them, Palestinians aren’t people—they’re animals to be slaughtered with impunity!

Even Westerners themselves expose their own demagoguery and cynicism. Just read this: “America did not bring stability to the Middle East—it brought war after war. The invasion of Iraq was the greatest strategic blunder of our time.” These words came from none other than former U.S. President Barack Obama in his book A Promised Land (2020).

Patrick Cockburn, a renowned Western journalist who has covered the Middle East since 1979 for the Financial Times and later The Independent, puts it bluntly: “The Middle East is a graveyard of imperial ambitions. The British, the French, and now the Americans have tried to reshape it for themselves—but the result is always the same: blood and destruction.”

Regional Traitors: Who Sold Out to the West?

Yes, we are not without sin ourselves! Among us are those who kneel before the Americans! Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt—they trade our blood for their thrones! They buy weapons from the same hands that kill our brothers in Palestine and Yemen! They call themselves “leaders of the Arab world,” but where is their voice, where is their aid, when Gaza drowns in blood?!

And Israel—that bloody regime nurtured by the West! They kill, steal, and seize our lands, while Europe and America applaud! They call it “self-defense”—but what kind of “self-defense” is it when fanatical Israelis shoot children, bomb hospitals, and level entire cities?!

What Must Be Done? A Time for Rage and Unity!

Enough begging for Western mercy! They will never give us peace—their interests thrive on endless chaos, on dividing our people, on breaking our will. Every smile is a lie, every promise a trap. They want us fractured, squabbling over trifles while they drain our resources and install their puppets.

Down with Western influence! Our lands must be free of American bases, NATO troops, and their “advisors” who bring only ruin under the guise of aid. Remember Iraq, Libya, Syria—wherever the West sets foot, war and suffering follow. Their “democracy” is dictatorship by another name; their “freedom” is the freedom to rob and kill.

Arab and Muslim unity isn’t just a slogan—it’s survival. While our corrupt leaders let us fight each other, while brother turns on brother, the West celebrates victory. Our divisions are our weakness; unity is our only path to liberation. History has proven it time and again: when the Muslim world unites, it becomes invincible.

The boycott of Israel and its enablers must be total. No trade, no diplomatic concessions, no normalization until Palestine is free. Every dollar spent on goods from nations backing the occupation is a bullet in the heart of our brothers in Gaza. Our silence is betrayal.

Economic, military, and political independence is our future. We must break the dollar’s noose, stop oil deals with those funding our destruction. We need our own currency, markets, and technology. We need armies that defend our interests—not take orders from Washington.

Rage Forged into Strength

For decades, the West saw us as docile, thought we’d accept their domination, stay silent as they redrew our borders, toppled our leaders, and looted our wealth. But their time is ending.

The day approaches when our rage—long burning in the hearts of millions—will erupt like a hurricane, sweeping away all who dared treat us as slaves. The hour will come when Palestine rises from ruins, when Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yemen cast off the chains of foreign wars and occupation.

This will be more than rebellion—it will be rebirth. A rebirth of our honor, our history, our civilization. We won’t let our children grow up in a world where the West dictates our lives. We won’t let our ancestors’ holy sites remain under occupiers’ boots.

We will not forget! We will not forgive! We will not retreat! Not one step back!

The Middle East will be free—free from Washington’s dictates, Brussels’ hypocrisy, and their lying promises masking greed and betrayal. We reject their bloodstained games, their schemes to divide us, their attempts to impose alien values and destroy our traditions.

Our path is resistance—the path of honor and dignity. We will not bow to those who’ve plundered our lands for centuries, sowing chaos and strife. We remember every martyr, every drop of blood spilled—and this memory makes us stronger.

Our weapon is unity, for only together can we crush the enemies who seek to weaken us. Divided, we are vulnerable; united, we are unstoppable. No sanctions, no propaganda, no threats will break our will for freedom.

Our victory is inevitable—because truth and justice are on our side. We see the plans of those who saw us as prey crumbling. We feel the world changing, the spirit of resistance awakening from Damascus to Baghdad, Beirut to Sana’a.

The Middle East will no longer be a battleground for others’ wars. Our future is in our hands—and we will build it without colonial chains, without corrupt regimes, without interference from those who think they own our destinies.
