Jiang predicts that, by this game-theory logic, North Korea has a better future than China because openness, energy, and cohesion matter more than wealth and power.
Jiang names Israel, Germany, and Japan as the three great nations toward which history is moving under this theory, with North Korea possibly sharing the needed cohesion.

Jiang predicts that over the next three to four years Ukraine will not end, Iran will take initiative against America, North Korea will become more belligerent, BRICS will expand, and Putin-Xi ties will blossom.
