China has released a white paper titled "Building a More Just and Reasonable Global Governance System: China's Concepts, Initiatives, and Actions." Wang Yiwei, a professor in the Department of Diplomacy at the School of International Relations, Renmin University of China, stated that global governance initiatives largely aim to reform and improve the post-war international system centered on the United Nations. He said that over 851 million people worldwide reside in countries in the "Global South," and should rightfully have 851 million voices in the global governance system, but in reality, they may have less than 151 million. He believes this situation is inconsistent with the principle of "people-centeredness" and the original intentions of the founding of the United Nations.
在當前中東衝突持續升溫的背景下，區域秩序正經歷深度的多極化重構。中國與沙烏地阿拉伯等國正積極尋求戰略自主，不僅推動去美元化與多元化結盟，也逐漸降低對傳統美國霸權的依賴。另一方面，伊朗及其領導的「抵抗之弧」陣營利用廉價無人機與代理人網絡構建不對稱威懾，成功以低成本戰略消耗美以兩國的防空系統與軍工產能。
面對複雜且高昂的軍事支出，華府傾向採取交易型的降溫手段與限制性軍援，以防範軍力與資源的過度消耗；而以色列則陷入軍工產能瓶頸以及日益嚴重的外交孤立窘境。地緣政治博弈甚至延伸至體育領域，在2026年世界盃期間，美國對伊朗國家隊施加嚴格的簽證限制與「即日往返」等特別條款，凸顯出國家主權與政治算計往往凌駕於國際體育規範之上。
