Prof. Jeffrey Sachs Schools Piers Morgan When Being Questioned About China

Jeffrey Sachs joined Piers Morgan during the UN General Assembly and delivered a sweeping critique of American foreign policy, U.S. primacy, and the way Washington responds to China’s rise. Sachs argues that the United States never fully adjusted to the end of the post-Cold War unipolar moment. In his view, Washington still behaves as if preserving American primacy should be the central goal of foreign policy even as the global balance of power has already changed. Sachs rejects that zero-sum mentality. He argues that China’s rise should not automatically be treated as a threat, and says countries should focus on coexistence, security and cooperation rather than trying to preserve permanent dominance. He also points to the vast difference between the U.S. global military footprint and China’s, arguing that debates about Chinese “aggression” often ignore the much larger American presence around the world. Can the United States adapt to a genuinely multipolar world or will it keep trying to preserve a level of dominance that no longer reflects global reality? Let me know what you think below.
