""There's no doubt, at least in my mind, that the aspirations of the liberal order and the rules-based order were universal. But obviously, it never operates like that in reality. It's exclusive. It's hierarchical.""
""The actions of many of its supporters, the US included, are hypocritical, taking advantage of the rules to the detriment of others.""

However, it has been criticized for being exclusive and hierarchical, benefiting primarily the US and its allies while neglecting the Global South. The hypocrisy of powerful nations undermines the intended universal aspirations of the rules-based order.
