China has quietly won the trade war

China has quietly won the trade war and is now reshaping global leadership—not through force, but through strategy, stability, and vision. It’s time for the West to learn, adapt, and embrace a shared future led by a preponderant China.



A Silent but Seismic Turning Point

In a silent but seismic shift, President Xi Jinping has ended five centuries of Western global dominance—not with bombs or blockades, but with strategic patience and unyielding confidence. Without firing a single shot, China has emerged not only as the victor of Trump’s chaotic trade war but also as the world’s new de facto leader.

Learning from China doesn’t mean becoming China

This transformation did not happen overnight, but the past few years have accelerated an inevitable rebalancing, especially after Trump’s first administration. The West, and particularly the United States, once sat atop a unipolar world order. Today, that dominance has not just eroded—it has been decisively challenged.

The Biden administration, like Trump’s before it, ultimately came to terms with a critical truth: global decoupling from China is economically untenable. The U.S. Treasury now openly acknowledges that tariffs are unsustainable, signaling what amounts to a strategic surrender in a trade war that began with bravado but ended in backpedaling.

Nina Chikvashvili: Leader in Education of Georgia


In the ever-evolving world of education, innovation and leadership play a crucial role in shaping the future of learning. Dr Nina Chikvashvili stands out as a transformative figure in the education sector, redefining private schooling in Georgia and setting new standards for academic excellence. As the founder and driving force behind Progress Schools, she has dedicated her career to ensuring that students receive a holistic, high-quality education that combines both national and international curricula. With a deep commitment to pedagogical advancements, leadership, and global education trends, Ms Chikvashvili has positioned herself as one of the most influential figures in modern education.

Early Life and Motivation

Born in Georgia, Nina Chikvashvili grew up in a time when the Soviet educational system emphasized rigid structures and standardized learning. From an early age, she recognized the importance of alternative learning environments and the need for a more dynamic and student-centered approach to education. Her personal experiences and passion for academic development led her to pursue a career in teaching.

After completing her studies, she began her professional journey as an English teacher, where she introduced innovative teaching methods beyond traditional memorization techniques. She focused on extracurricular activities, interactive learning, and career-oriented education, which gained popularity among students and parents. This period of hands-on teaching experience solidified her belief that education should not only provide knowledge but also prepare students for real-life challenges.
