Could China End America’s Grip on the Muslim World? Ft. NewsBaba
In this episode of The Thinking Youth, we sit down with Mahfuz Talukder for a deep and wide-ranging conversation on the changing global order, the decline of unipolar Western dominance, and the emergence of China as a civilisational and geopolitical superpower. As the balance of power shifts eastward, we explore what this transformation could mean for the Muslim world politically, economically, and strategically. Especially on today's key visit of US President Trump to China... the world is watching closely. Together, we examine whether the world is entering a catastrophic shift and whether Muslim-majority nations are prepared to navigate it with clarity and long-term vision. The discussion explores China’s growing influence, the opportunities this presents for Muslim states, and the difficult moral and political questions that inevitably arise alongside strategic alliances.We also confront some of the most pressing issues of our time: the treatment of Uyghur Muslims, the question of Taiwan, Xi Jinping’s long-term ambitions, and whether China’s current restraint on the global stage is temporary or strategic. Beyond statecraft and diplomacy, the conversation reflects on hard power, economic leverage, civilisational confidence, and the realities of building alternative alliances in a rapidly changing world.As global instability intensifies and old assumptions begin to collapse, this episode asks a critical question: are we witnessing the beginning of a new world order - and if so, what place will the Muslim world occupy within it?Comment your thoughts below !Follow NewsBaba on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@mahfuztalukderSubscribe for more conversations on geopolitics, strategy, and the ideas shaping our world.Follow us on: IG: / thinkingyouthpod TikTok: / thinkingyouthpod Subscribe to our Youtube channel for more: / @thethinkingyouth Subscribe to the Thinking Muslim Podcast: / @thethinkingmuslim Subscribe to Mosaab's Substack: https://notmosaad.substack.comSubscribe to Arhaam's Substack: https://substack.com/@mohammadarhaamm...Disclaimer:The views expressed in this video are those of the individual speaker(s) and do not represent the views of the host, producers, platform, or any affiliated organisation.
