Each trend is changing the world and “largely reversing the historic rise of the West since 1750, restoring Asia’s weight in the global economy, and ushering in a new era of ‘democratization’ at the international and domestic level.” The US will remain “first among equals” in hard and soft power, but “the ‘unipolar moment’ is over.”
各项趋势都在改变世界，并“在很大程度上逆转1750年以来西方的历史性崛起，恢复亚洲在全球经济中所占的地位，并在国际和国内迎来‘民主化’的新时代。”美国仍将在硬实力和软实力两方面首当其冲，但是“‘单极时代’已经不复存在。”
