Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, said the perception of the United States as a dependable ally is shifting after he spent a month in Asia, including 10 days in China. Dalio stated that countries are increasingly skeptical of the U.S. commitment to defending its interests.
He pointed to China's growing economic power, now 60 to 70 percent of the U.S. economy, and its significance in global recognition.
According to a Fortune report, Dalio noted that a number of leaders go up to China. Dalio's insights carry weight due to his extensive experience in China with Bridgewater, the largest hedge fund globally. The remarks were reported by Benzinga on May 17, 2026.
