Balochistan's Critical Role in the New Global Order and Its Fight for Autonomy

We are witnessing a profound shift in the global power structure. The unipolar world order that emerged after the Cold War—dominated by the United States—is gradually transforming into a multipolar landscape. At the forefront of this transition stands China, whose growing economic and strategic influence is reshaping regions across Asia and Africa. Through its ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China has established a vast network of infrastructure projects and trade routes, from Pakistan’s Gwadar Port in Balochistan to key markets across the African continent. This expansion is not only altering global trade flows but also directly challenging U.S. dominance, prompting Washington to reassess its alliances and strategies to retain its global leadership.
