US China Rivalry in a Nutshell

 

Editorial on US China Rivalry

Till 1990s, there were only two poles in the global power corridors: The mighty United States and the Soviet Union.

But after the disintegration of USSR, there was only one pole left and that was United States.

She enjoyed the global supremacy and there was no global power to match its influence.

However, soon China was to challenge its authority and influence be it economy, military power, allies or any other diplomatic aspect.

China has now a growing influence in Middle East, Africa and even Latin America.

With the recent rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran, US's influence in Middle East has further declined. US is making every effort to contain China through new allies in the form of India and renewed agreements with other states. However, for the time being, nothing seems to be working.

As a matter of fact, there are many complexities as you start your journey at freelancing as a beginner. Not only you need to be patient, which is said by almost everybody, but also you need to have enough time, enthusiasm and sometimes little i...

Embrace Equity International Women’s Day is an important event celebrated annually worldwide, honoring the contributions and achievements of women. This year's theme, "Embrace Equity," highlights the need for gender equality, particularly in Pakistan, where women face a myriad of challenges daily. In this article, we'll discuss the struggles of Pakistani women, the progress made so far, and how embracing equity can help promote gender equality.   Pakistan is a country where patriarchal norms dominate society, and women are often viewed as second-class citizens.

Paper Discussion Throughout my whole academic career, I had a negative attitude towards paper discussion i.e. I got irritated every time whenever I saw my friends discussing paper. However, it is until recently that I realized the potential benefit of paper discussion. What is paper discussion? When I say paper discussion, I mean discussion of paper i.e. exam pape r just before as well as just after the exam. Before the start of an exam, students usually discuss about important points regarding exam, or even chances of a particular question. After the end of exam, students usually discuss the answers.
