"Analysts have long been talking about the end of the US-led global system and the arrival of the Asian century," Borrell told a conference of German diplomats on Monday."This is happening right in front of our eyes and we are under increasing pressure to choose one side," 

        He said there was evidence that China was replacing the United States as a world power and that the European Union needed to adopt a stronger policy towards China.

      European Foreign Minister Joseph Borrell said the Code-19 epidemic would be seen as a turning point in history when the United States did not appear to be leading the world for decades. He said that due to the competition between the United States and China, international organizations were not able to play the role that was needed in this difficult time. He said that the European Union must put its interests and values ​​first and avoid becoming a tool of anyone. He said that Europe needs to cultivate a common strategic culture which it does not have at present.
