This is already absolutely happening. The entire world is gravitating away from the US and towards China. Countries that were very cautious about China are embracing them with open arms.
The world order is not about “good” and “bad”. It is “better” and “worse”. The US is now worse. And I do not think they believe the rest of us have options.
I would not even say ‘better’ and ‘worse’. It is actually shaping up to be ‘worse’ and ‘less worse’. The middle countries, in their own self-interest, will seek the choice of ‘less worse’ and depend on their own population for ‘better’.

They don’t have the cards.
