Putin says Germany & China are emerging superpowers, US can’t ‘dominate’ anymore, and UK’s & France’s roles have ‘transformed’
The era when world affairs were decided between Moscow and Washington is long gone, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, adding that other countries, such as China and Germany, are on their way to becoming superpowers.
“In terms of its economic weight and political influence, China is actively moving towards the status of a superpower. Germany is moving in the same direction,”Putin said, addressing a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club think tank via a video link.
The role of the UK and France in international affairs has also been significantly transformed, he added.
The US, which enjoyed absolute dominance at some point, can now hardly lay claim to exceptionalism.
Putin then wondered whether the US itself even wanted this exceptionalism any longer. He did not elaborate, but his speech focused on the need for collaboration rather than antagonism between nations during the Covid-19 crisis.
While the president didn’t expand on his point about Russia’s relationship with the new list of potential superpowers, he strongly rebuffed the view of foreign “experts” that the world is counting on the “gradual fading” of Russia.
“While strengthening our country, looking at what is happening globally, in other countries … the only thing we’d be worried about is catching a cold at your funeral,” the president said.

Putin mengatakan Jerman & China muncul kuasa besar, AS tidak dapat ‘menguasai’ lagi, dan peranan UK & Perancis telah ‘berubah’
Era ketika urusan dunia diputuskan antara Moscow dan Washington sudah lama berlalu, kata Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin, sambil menambah bahawa negara-negara lain, seperti China dan Jerman, sedang dalam perjalanan untuk menjadi kuasa besar.
“Dari segi kekuatan ekonomi dan pengaruh politiknya, China secara aktif bergerak menuju status negara adidaya. Jerman bergerak ke arah yang sama, ”kata Putin, ketika berucap pada pertemuan kumpulan pemikir Kelab Perbincangan Valdai melalui pautan video.
Peranan Inggeris dan Perancis dalam urusan antarabangsa juga telah banyak berubah, tambahnya.
AS, yang pada saat ini menikmati dominasi mutlak, kini hampir tidak dapat menuntut pengecualian.
Putin kemudian bertanya-tanya adakah AS sendiri menginginkan pengecualian ini lebih lama lagi. Dia tidak menjelaskan lebih lanjut, tetapi ucapannya lebih memusatkan perhatian pada perlunya kolaborasi dan bukannya antagonisme antara negara-negara semasa krisis Covid-19.
Walaupun presiden tidak memperluas pendapatnya mengenai hubungan Rusia dengan senarai kekuatan super baru yang berpotensi, dia dengan tegas menolak pandangan “pakar” asing bahawa dunia mengandalkan “memudar secara beransur-ansur” Rusia.

“Sambil mengukuhkan negara kita, melihat apa yang sedang berlaku di seluruh dunia, di negara lain … satu-satunya perkara yang kita perlu bimbangkan adalah selesema di majlis pengebumian anda,” kata presiden.
