Every era has its rulers who manage to impose power and influence. Antiquity was dominated by Ancient Greece and Rome. The Byzantine and Frankish Kingdoms ruled the Middle Ages. Later, the British Empire took over, making the 19th century known as the British Imperial Century. In the 20th century, Washington established absolute dominance, earning it the title of the American Century, characterized by Pax Americana.
Considering current demographic, social, economic, cultural, and political trends, everything points to the possibility that the 21st century could become the Asian Century. In fact, the Asian Century has already begun—we are only waiting for a decisive breakthrough that could lead to the global dominance of Asian powers. Pax Asiatica is a reality in both the near and distant future.
Excellent Starting Conditions
The Asian continent is naturally endowed both geographically and demographically. Asia is the largest continent by area (44.5 million square kilometers) and has the highest population in the world—4.8 billion people—making up 60% of the global population. It stretches from its westernmost point in Asia Minor to its easternmost point in the Diomede Islands (Russia), from its southernmost point on Rota Island (Mariana Islands) to its northernmost point at Cape Chelyuskin in Russia.
