Ye Qiquan’s Political Forecast on 2026Mar22
- China will inevitably opt for an “explicit imperial structure” to replace the current “implicit imperial system.”
- China will inevitably strengthen its leadership capabilities within its “effective coverage area” and gradually establish an “exclusive political order.”
- China will inevitably expand its “effective coverage area” of the imperial order to an appropriate extent. At a minimum, it must ensure the security of shipping lanes in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
- China will philosophically renew the concept and definition of empire based on its imperial model.
- Based on the Chinese imperial model, three to four regional land-power empires may emerge globally.
- Exclusive or unipolar maritime-power imperial models will gradually decline.
- Maritime-power imperial models may gradually transition into a global economic cooperation order.
- A land-power empire model dominated by the China-U.S. axis will be established globally. Outside this axis, one or two additional regional land-power centers may emerge. The purpose of all imperial order arrangements is to ensure the establishment of three to five wealth hubs globally. These three or five wealth hubs will serve as oscillation centers, guaranteeing the effective flow of global wealth.
