While most of the world watches the news on TV – being fed news as non-interconnected events without analysis – more observant viewers will see a pattern emerging. The first signs were at the Copenhagen conference on climate change – where China was unexpectedly forceful.

Now, with the US announcement that is selling armaments to Taiwan, China has responded aggressively, so much so, that it’s response is already being commented on and analysed for clues as to China’s intentions.

I think it’s pretty clear. China is finding its feet and starting to see itself as an actor on the world stage. This, naturally enough is causing alarm bells to go off in Washington and European capitals – as westerners have never had to face this situation before.

All I can really say is, “get used to it!”. This is all par for the course in the dramatic power shift underway. We are witnessing the turning of the tide in human affairs as Asia, lead by China, rises to economic preeminence.

Naturally, the “old order” doesn’t like it. But we’ll have to get used to it – even if it means being dragged kicking and screaming into this new “reality”.

And don’t expect this change to happen without a fight.
