have gained the greatest share of total global economic growth and Westerners, especially
middle-class industrial workers, represent 50 percent of global GDP and two thirds of global
economic growth.

cultural linkages to robust economic interdependence to strategic coordination.
Ex: All the banks like ADB, EAC, RCEP, and AIIB facilitate owes of goods, services,
capital, and people around the region and will steer trillions of dollars of financing into cross-
border commercial corridors.

Europe and Asia were to two biggest trades regions and each represents a major share of
power.
Ex: China leveraged the US trading system to overcome US and display Japan as Asia
