Last week, I had the privilege of attending the 2026 Harvard Presidents\u2019 Seminar alongside some of the nation\u2019s top executives and thought leaders. One of the most compelling speakers was Ambassador Kevin Rudd, former prime minister of Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rudd spoke with clarity and, yes, concern about the shape of the world we\u2019re heading into. The post-World War II, rules-based order\u2014the one that gave us globalization, multilateralism, NATO, the World Trade Organization (WTO), etc.\u2014is likely over. What comes next appears to be a return to 19th century-style governance, characterized by \u201cmight makes right\u201d and spheres of influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn\u2019t call Rudd a doomsayer. He\u2019s more of a realist who believes, as I do, that a strong U.S. is good for the world. Conversely, a weak U.S. creates dangerous power vacuums that China and Russia are all too eager to fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New World (Dis)order?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the 80-year period following World War II, the U.S. took a dominant role in shaping global norms, from open markets and free trade to the expansion of democracy and the U.S. dollar as the world\u2019s reserve currency. We enjoyed relative peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That era, Rudd suggests, may be coming to an end. Democracy appears to be in decline across the globe,<\/a> while the number of armed conflicts is at its highest level since World War II.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Number<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

China and Russia aren\u2019t hiding their ambitions. Just last week, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin affirmed their deepening ties,<\/a> pledging mutual support on economic, military and ideological fronts. And with the expiration of the New START treaty this month, the last vestige of nuclear arms control between the U.S. and Russia is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rewriting the Rules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rudd, author of two major books on Xi,<\/a> warned us that the current Chinese leader is no pragmatist in the vein of Deng Xiaoping, the former leader who jumpstarted the country\u2019s ascendancy in the 1970s through meaningful market reform. Instead, Xi can better be described as a Marxist-Leninist nationalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Xi, China has shifted from playing by the rules to rewriting the rules. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is executing a comprehensive strategy across every conceivable domain, including military modernization, industrial dominance, energy independence and much, much more. In October, I shared with you my belief that China\u2019s world-spanning Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a Trojan Horse.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xi\u2019s government sees economic power and national security as one and the same, and nowhere is that more apparent than in energy and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s Massive Energy Buildout<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While the U.S. goes back and forth on energy policy, China has been building. Since 2021, the country has added more power capacity than the U.S. has in its entire 250-year history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read that again. In just four years, they\u2019ve eclipsed our entire power infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year alone, China installed 543 gigawatts of new capacity,<\/a> an unimaginable amount. That includes solar, wind, coal, nuclear and gas. And according to BloombergNEF, the country will add another 3.4 terawatts of new capacity<\/a> over the next five years, nearly six times the amount the U.S. is forecast to add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal? To ensure that China\u2019s next-generation industries, like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and advanced manufacturing, aren\u2019t held back by energy shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"China<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Clean Energy Is the New Growth Engine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As I\u2019ve shared with you before, Elon Musk and NVIDIA chief Jensen Huang have both warned that China\u2019s monumental power surplus will give it a huge advantage in AI compute.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what I\u2019ve heard and read, I have to agree. The numbers are simply staggering. In 2025, clean energy drove over a third of China\u2019s GDP growth, accounting for more than 90% of investment increases. Sectors like solar, electric vehicles (EVs) and battery tech contributed over $2.1 trillion to the nation\u2019s economy, roughly equivalent to the size of Canada or Brazil\u2019s GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If China\u2019s clean energy sector were its own country, it would be the eighth-largest economy in the world.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Clean<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, in Washington\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Contrast that with the U.S., where political gridlock and partisanship have hampered large-scale energy buildouts. China is thinking long-term, whereas officials in the U.S. are too often thinking only about the next election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, according to a recent report by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), China is on track to surpass the U.S.<\/a> across a broad swath of what it calls \u201cnational power industries.\u201d These include military industries (guided missiles and tanks, for instance), dual-use industries (electronic displays and semiconductors) and enabling industries (automobiles and heavy construction equipment).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To its credit, the U.S. is committed to spending big on defense. Congress just passed a $839 billion bill,<\/a> which is $8 billion more than the Pentagon even requested. Funds are set to flow to critical platforms like the F-35, B-21 bomber and Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) systems. More than $13 billion is earmarked for space and missile defense under President Trump\u2019s Golden Dome program.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What It Means for Investors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Equity markets may be the first to have recognized that a new investment cycle is underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January, small-cap, domestically focused stocks began to take leadership. While the S&P 500 reached new highs, gaining roughly 1.4% for the month, the Russell 2000 Index surged 5.4%, significantly outperforming its large-cap peers. Small caps notched a 15-day winning streak against the S&P, the longest such stretch since May 1996.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t believe this is a one-off. The Russell 2000 is now outperforming the S&P 500 since the start of Trump\u2019s second term, roughly 17% versus 15%, as of Friday, February 6. Some\u2014but certainly not all\u2014small-cap companies are generally less exposed to Trump\u2019s tariffs and may benefit over the long-term in a less globalized, interdependent world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I urge you to do your due diligence before investing, however. An estimated 40% of all Russell 2000 companies are unprofitable<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With precious metal prices down from their extraordinary highs, now might also be the time to consider buying the dip. I always recommend a 10% in gold, split evenly between physical bullion and high-quality gold mining stocks. Remember to rebalance on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
