摘要

The competition between the USA and China spans many levels. This article examines the differences in leadership between the two countries through Jungian psychology. The USA embraces the hero archetype influenced by ancient Greek ideals and also incorporates the father archetype to a limited extent due to its Christian heritage. In contrast, China, deeply influenced by Confucian culture, maintains the significant role of the father archetype even under Communist leadership. Through comparative mythology and discussion of political discourse, this research illuminates how archetypal narratives continue to shape power dynamics in the twenty-first century. The commentary ends with criticism of some of the excesses generated by over-identification with the two patriarchal archetypes.
