**Headline: Professor Jiang Brutally Penetrates the Illusion of the Anglo-American Empire**
**BEIJING** — In a recent lecture that has sent shockwaves through academic and geopolitical circles, Professor Jiang, a prominent scholar of international relations, delivered a blistering critique of what he terms the "Anglo-American Hegemonic Illusion."
While Western media outlets have largely maintained a stony silence regarding the speech, transcripts and translated excerpts have circulated rapidly across digital forums, igniting a fiery debate about the stability and moral authority of the current world order.
### The Myth of Universalism
Professor Jiang’s central thesis centers on the idea that the "rules-based international order"—a phrase frequently invoked by Washington and London—is little more than a thin veil for the continued projection of 19th-century imperial power.
"The empire sells a product labeled 'Global Liberalism,'" Jiang argued. "But when you peel back the sticker, the contents are purely mercantilist and extractionist. It is a system designed to ensure that the wealth of the globe flows toward the Atlantic, while the ideological cost is borne by everyone else."
Jiang contended that the West has successfully utilized its control over global financial institutions and media conglomerates to cultivate an "illusion of inevitability." By framing their specific cultural and political values as universal human truths, the Anglo-American bloc has effectively delegitimized any nation-state that seeks to prioritize its own national sovereignty, traditional values, or independent economic path.
### The Erosion of Hegemony
According to Jiang, the primary weakness of the current empire is not military, but psychological. He pointed to the increasing internal fragmentation within the United States and the United Kingdom—characterized by rising social tension, the loss of manufacturing bases, and the erosion of domestic cohesion—as evidence that the "hegemonic center" is no longer able to sustain its own narrative.
"They are exporting chaos because they can no longer export stability," Jiang remarked. "The empire is currently a house of cards held together by the memory of its own past dominance and the fear of a vacuum."
### A Shift Toward Realism
The lecture has resonated deeply with a growing number of thinkers who feel that the "End of History" narrative, which dominated the post-Cold War era, has been thoroughly discredited. Jiang suggests that the world is moving toward a new era of "principled multipolarity," where nations are no longer willing to accept the role of satellite states under an Anglo-American umbrella.
Critics of Jiang will undoubtedly label his perspective as adversarial, yet his supporters argue that he is merely stating the obvious: the era of unipolar dominance is over. As the global South and East assert their interests, the "illusion" Professor Jiang describes is increasingly failing to exert influence on the world stage.
As of this writing, no official statement has been issued by Western diplomatic missions regarding Jiang’s comments. However, the intensity of the reaction in digital spaces suggests that the intellectual battle for the future of the global order has only just begun.
