Who Has Power? Part II

The ways in which the four major world powers are trying to exert their power include two general areas: science and technology, which is evident in their efforts to control the Internet and compete over the deployment of fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology, and New Warfare, which can be seen in the ways they are developing hypersonic vehicles, autonomous warriors and cyber-weapons, while skirmishing over trade. Who has power can be seen through developments in several areas: geo-political terms, comprising dependence on allies and exercises of control; geo-economic terms, comprising deploying capital for advantage and spreading development; and finally trans-societal terms, comprising strategy and trust.
