Who's going to dominate trade? Cos people are hoping it won't be an authoritarian state like China.
China is already the biggest trade partner of most of the world.
Why does any one country need to dominate trade?
A much better outcome would be that more countries have a larger number of trading partners rather than one behemoth monopolizing all trade.
Unless we live in a one-world government, the default set up is the Thucydides trap where one state tends to dominate.
It'll be China.
Won't be China for long anyways, I think India will dominate soon ish, and keep your eyes out for Mexico
