Key Notes
When global conflict blocks trade, Jiang expects China’s historical pattern to be retreating home, closing borders, and protecting its borders.
Jiang says future global conflict is less likely to take the form of World War I or World War II because nuclear weapons make escalation too hard to control.
Jiang argues that the Middle East remains strategically central because major trade routes still run through it, including routes relevant to China, Europe, and Russia.
Jiang predicts the Middle East will remain the center of global conflict for the next 10 to 20 years because of trade, oil, and eschatology.
Jiang predicts that over the next few decades climate change, global conflict, civil discontent, and economic collapse will produce massive population decline.
Jiang predicts that for the next 500 years global conflict will be driven more by water scarcity than by oil scarcity.
Jiang concludes that the post-American world will feature multiple simultaneous theaters of conflict and no obvious successor capable of replacing Pax Americana.
