One could also mention the recent Sino-African summit in Beijing, or the intensification of Venezuelan-Iranian relations. All these developments subtly indicate a deep trend that can be formalized in one sentence: America’s unipolar moment, which began in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Empire, is over.
在其他许多国家中只有少数几个迹象。人们还可以提及最近在北京召开的中非峰会，或者是委内瑞拉与伊朗之间加剧的紧张关系。所有这些进展微妙地表明一种深刻的趋势，可以用一句话概括，那就是，从1991年苏联帝国崩溃以来的美国单极时代结束了。
