US-China-Russia ties will shape the future

Let's have a look at the global strategic landscape and the US-China-Russia trilateral orientations as we welcome a new year.

First, unilateralism poses a challenge to multilateral cooperation in the international political field, and trade protectionism to interdependence in trade and economics, although most of the beneficiaries of and contributors to globalization are supporting the existing global security, economic and financial systems, including the United Nations and the World Trade Organization. This has become one of the essential elements of the major country relationship.

Second, due to the constant advances in military sciences and the updated weapons' programs of the major powers, while talking about the role of nuclear weapons and strategic stability today, we have to consider the non-nuclear factors, too, which include missile defense, precision guided long-range missile systems, hypersonic waveriders, outer space programs and cyber capacity. Which in turn have given rise to the concept of cross-domain deterrence.
