July 6, 2011, 11:10 According to popular belief, the United States entered a phase of "sunset" - in the XXI century, the United States lost the position of global superpower China. However, according to the American edition of The Wall Street Journal, the rumors of the death of the United States are somewhat exaggerated. According to Professor Walter Russell Mead, that the US, paralyzed by internal debt, battered by the financial crisis, and bleeding in the wars in the East, followed by the United Kingdom are on the the way to the pension for the former superpowers, fashion is just speculation. "The United States is not unique because of its problems. Today every power is faced with extraordinary challenges," - he writes. However, the US is best suited to take advantage of the XXI century and to confront its challenges. Mead believes that the parallels with the beginning of the XX century is now irrelevant. "In 1910, Germany was a superpower, which was sinking among countries - France, Russia, the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary is getting weaker," - says the expert. Today in Asia is not only China, but also India, Vietnam, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia and Australia - that is, in the region will be more influential centers, and one country will not be able to control it. "This is fully in line with the interests of the United States. US does not want to rule or Asia, nor to interfere with the economic development that will benefit the entire Pacific Ocean basin, including the Americans themselves," - says Mead.
