Companies that are beating the West

Doesn't that just mean multiple superpowers? Do you think co-operation on topics such as global warming will increase, or decrease, with such competition?
What I read between the lines is that cooperation and coordination on topics such as global warming are only possible with a dominant west?
As a person with western origin I would not want the west to falter or disappear - don’t get me wrong.
But the west does not own the key to bringing good into the world.
Is the assertion of western global dominance the only way to solve world problems? My question is not rhetorical. Just grappling with this question should be productive.
I don't provide any blueprint for successful cooperation, I'm just saying increasing the wealth of any random nation for the sake of it (or something about equality) ignoring context or impact doesn't make sense. It didn't need to be "the west", and many would consider Russia to be western, it just needs to be a political unit capable of progress on issues of the commons.
But in this case, it is about actual companies that have been successful and proven it. That in itself is rather a celebration of the western concept that ideas and the private pursuit of them can yield successful outcomes that are an improvement to the world vs. them not being there.
These are actual questions i'd specifically want you to answer, since you seems not to be engaging in good faith.
Shit, the reason we didn't end up in global thermonuclear war is because the USSR and USA were roughly equal in their ability to render sterile large parts of the world. MAD was the ultimate equality in the darkest Strangelovian way.
Look at how Russia has acted since it stopped being a superpower. It's far more unpredictable, but at a regional level not global. They can't really do global anymore.
Pretending there is a general rules that applies equally to all roles of "relationship" is naive, an idealistic oversimplification of international politics.

so let's give them more nukes and money to calm them down? or alternatively, don't let any new Russias emerge.
Doesn't mention that Vietnam requires registration to use the app including linking it to a cell number that is registered with a passport or Vietnam ID.
In many situations it’s not really even competition as it’s not like PayPal is trying to make inroads to MPesa’s market in Kenya.
It's almost like gaming, where everyone is playing ToTK until the next AAA title comes along, and the previous one quickly becomes history.
Ah yes: platforms, apps & games. Many similarities. :-)
