This coincided with the recognition that under the existing system, American hegemony could be threatened. China had become a genuine competitor challenging American interests. The technology gap between America and China was narrowing, China was flexing power in the Asia-Pacific, and challenging America in international institutions. The liberal international order was no longer serving the purpose of American hegemony. Maintaining global American dominance needed new foundations.
