WIELKI MARSZ PAŃSTWA ŚRODKA KU POZYCJI GLOBALNEGO OŚRODKA SIŁY
THE GREAT MARCH OF CHINA TO BECOME A GLOBAL CENTER OF POWER

Summary/Abstract: The geopolitics concentrates on aims to strengthen and weaken the position of centers of power. After the collapse of the Soviet Union a major center of global became United States. Washington controls all shipping routes, including the Far East. China, as an emerging new global center of power, is ensuring the security of supply of goods, but especially alternative energy routes, bypassing the straits above. A slightly different problem is Central Asia, which was a perennial area of influence of Russia. Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, bringing together China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, was established as a part of strengthening of the anti-American attitudes in Central Asia. China wants to return to the role of the global center power. The way forward is building connections of 17 countries’ railways for trains running at a speed of 350 km/h. The two networks are going to combine China and Europe – ultimately with stations in London and Berlin, and the third to Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), Malaysia and Singapore. Building a new “Silk Road” China affects the Russian traditional sphere of influence in Central Asia, which could threaten the Russian economy. Changing the balance of power between USA and China is likely to transform the international order.
