This is a very interesting book that I am reading and describes how China is influencing world politics.
China's capitalistic and authoritarian model has challenged the West' views on liberalism and democracy. The credibility and appeal of the US is also tarnished by the prolonged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. On the economic front, China has extended soft loans to the 3rd world nations while in the past the West used vehicles like the IMF and the World Bank to control these nations for their own political capital.
The West's campaign against tyranny and autocratic rule is also being challenged by China's support of many autocratic regimes in the world. That's all I got time for now....
