Carlos Tavares dissected the geopolitical present, warning that the “new world order” is provoking the accelerating of China towards the global “future domination”. About this “garden by the sea planted”, it is necessary to be treated “every day”.
The US is no longer a trusted partner for Portugal, Carlos Tavares said. “Portugal can no longer count on this partner that it proves to be reliable and has become an entity, although powerful, merely transactional,” according to the former Stellantis.
On the one hand, it is a “plus point, as we force us to think for ourselves in what our future may be without this ally, whose role in the NATO has been to develop US weaponry exports to Europe.”
The US is already the “most powerful and richest” country in the world and wants “even more power and more wealth”, which is causing a removal from several US countries to enter China’s sphere of influence.
The analysis was made today by manager Carlos Tavares who considers that a “new world order” is being created with Donald Trump at the White House, said in his closing speech of the 9th anniversary conference of the Economic Journal that took place at Aese in Lisbon.
“This egocentric drive resulting from the reaction to the excesses of Wokism can only happen to the loss of the rest of the world, as the very weak growth of the world wealth we measured by the evolution of GDP,” he said.
This American stance is provoking the “rest of the world to align with China naturally, which accelerates its trip to its future domination of this planet.”
Result: “Current American policy has the exact opposite of the largest strategic objective in the United States that is to prevent China from becoming one day the number 1.”
“China now gives us lessons with regard to the application of the rules of international trade as if they had been the founded of the World Trade Organization, and adopts wise and wise political attitudes to create contrast with the emotional and populist reactions of the West,” he said.
Looking at the US -invoked commercial imbalance, he considers that he has “more to do with poor productivity and worse quality in the physical goods manufacturing industry.”
Regarding the European Union, it considers that there is a “delay in political vision in relation to the economic and monetary dimension where the absence of common political destiny for the European Union is seriously penalizing the bloc and, especially to feed internal rivalries, particularly between France, Germany and Italy.
The manager also criticized the Paris climate agreement considering that “it was a good example of decline” from the western world. In COP 21, the “western world, being rich by destroying the planet, tried to demand from the global south to stop his own development so as not to aggravate the situation of the planet.”
“In addition to the manipulated communication that we were victims was a resounding disaster as it is in sight today with a global warming topic already little discussed in the political arena,” he said.
“The western world has to be a term to its decline accepting the idea that laziness as a way of life and cancer bureaucracy do not constitute an appetizing and above all competitive future in a stagnant GDP world,” he said.
Regarding European institutions, it considers that there are “two weights and two measures in the treatment of non-respecting community rules in Brussels without forgetting the poor performance of the Trilogy-Training Board-making in structuring decisions, such as decarbonization of transport”.
“This situation creates a vacuum of political leadership conducive to the expression of nationalist particularism such as those of Hungary. There is therefore an urgency to define the fate of Europe in terms of more integrated governance to create more wealth and well -being for our populations,” concludes Carlos Tavares.
