Former British Prime Minister (PM) Tony Blair said that the world is on the verge of international geopolitical changes, pointing out that the era of Western hegemony is coming to an end and moving towards multipolarity.
"The biggest geopolitical changes in this century will be provoked by China, not Russia," Blair said in a lecture he gave at a symposium organized by the British-American "Ditchley" Foundation.
"We are approaching the end of Western hegemony in politics and economics, and the world will become at least bipolar or possibly multipolar," he added.
"For the first time in modern history, the East can be on an equal footing with the West," Blair continued.
Moreover, he went on to say that China "is the second superpower in the world, and its economic potential and degree of participation in the global economy is higher than that of Russia."
