In 2018, while the world was preoccupied with political turmoil and trade wars, one voice stood out—not with anger, but with clarity. Professor Kishore Mahbubani, speaking at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, issued a bold warning: The era of Western dominance is ending.

At the time, it sounded like heresy. The West, especially the United States, still saw itself as the unchallenged leader of the free world. Francis Fukuyama’s famous “End of History” thesis—that liberal democracy had triumphed forever—still echoed in elite circles. But Mahbubani saw the danger in that triumphalism. He warned that "The past 200 years of Western domination have been a historical aberration. And all aberrations come to a natural end."

Now, in 2025, that prediction no longer sounds like speculation. It reads like prophecy.

This video explores how Mahbubani’s 2018 forecast has unfolded with startling accuracy. From the economic resilience of China to the strategic retreat of the U.S. and Europe, the global balance of power is shifting—not suddenly, but steadily—back toward Asia.
