Translation of "cast itself" into Croatian

China increasingly casts itself not as a fading civilization trying to catch up to the West but as a superpower poised to surpass it. Chinese nationalists and state-linked commentators say they have Mr. Trump to thank. America under his rule, they say, validates Mr. Xi’s worldview centered on “the rise of the East and decline of the West.” (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/business/china-trump-xi-decline.html)

Kina se sve više predstavlja ne kao nestajuća civilizacija koja pokušava sustići Zapad, već kao supersila spremna da ga nadmaši. Kineski nacionalisti i komentatori povezani s državom kažu da na tome mogu zahvaliti predsjedniku Trumpu. Kažu da Amerika pod njegovom vlašću potvrđuje Xijev svjetonazor usredotočen na "uspon Istoka i pad Zapada".
