Strategic commentariat in Western democracies fed by Communist China on its peaceful rise intentions would howl at my assertion that in 2021 because of Communist China’s military adventurism the global community currently stands divided into two opposing ‘Power Blocs’ reminiscent of Cold War1.0. Communist China under President Xi Jinping is obsessed with inflicting Chinese writ on Indo Pacific at the cost of the United States and Major Asian Powers like India and Japan Australia too. Cold War 2.0 yet stands inflicted once again by another Communist behemoth - Communist China with a Hitlerian over-sized military machine created in first two decades of 21 st Century due to United States default of being distracted in Iraq & Afghanistan. The Cold War also had instigated strong anti-communism within the US that led to drastic policies and acts to be put into place such as the McCarran Act and the Communist Control.On the verge of 2022, wherein portents indicate that Communist China will militarily challenge and test United States resolve to defend Taiwan, wherein Communist China is seemingly involved in major conflict-escalation with US-led QUAD Security Dialogue Nations - India, Japan & Australia, and wherein China-Russia Communist Strategic Nexus is unmistakeably provocatively in power-play - what is evidently on display is a Cold War 2.0 line-up of two opposing ‘Power Blocs’.Ĭold War 1.0 was the outcome of Former USSR as the Communist military behemoth occupying whole of Eastern Europe in final stages of World War II victory alongside United States & Allies.

The technology race between the US and USSR led to many new inventions and improvements that changed the way people live.
