In recent times, the United States is no longer the only uncontested sole superpower dominating in every domain (i.e. military, culture, economy, technology, diplomatic) in every region of the world.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] According to the Asia Power Index 2020, the United States still takes the lead on the military capacity, cultural influence, resilience and defense networks, but falls behind China in four parameters of economic resources, future resources, economic relationships and diplomatic influence across eight measures. This index ranks power and influence only across Asia Pacific, and is therefore not applicable to the global definition of a hyperpower.[11]
