The U.S. strategy toward China has undergone a seismic shift, from arrogance and prejudice to extreme anxiety. In the past, the United States regarded itself as an invincible hegemon and held a high-minded attitude toward our country. But now, they find that the rise of our country is unstoppable, whether it is technology, economy or international influence, our country is rapidly closing the gap with the United States. This reality has made the United States anxious from the inside out, and they are beginning to realize that they can no longer despise our country as much as they used to.
The United States is gradually losing its advantage in the confrontation with our country's strength, which makes them feel deeply panicked and helpless. They once thought that they could easily suppress our country in all fields, but now they find that our country is firmly and rapidly catching up and even surpassing in terms of economy, military and scientific and technological innovation. This panic in the United States stems not only from the rapid development of our country, but also from their sense of uncertainty about their own status and anxiety about the future.
With the end of the Kissinger era, U.S. diplomacy has undergone a major turning point. Kissinger advocates a relatively equal international dialogue, believing that although the United States is strong, it also needs to give other countries, especially a big country like China, a certain amount of space and respect. However, after Kissinger's departure, American diplomacy gradually lost this sense of balance and became more arrogant and anxious. They are beginning to realize that they can no longer control the international situation as easily as they used to, and they feel overwhelmed by the rise of our country.
The American elite is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of mentality. They used to think of themselves as world leaders, and they could dictate the direction of the world at will. However, with the rise of our country on the international stage and its growing influence, the American elite began to feel an unprecedented sense of frustration. They suddenly discover that the world is no longer a chessboard at their mercy, but a stage full of variables and challenges. This anxiety of losing control left them feeling overwhelmed and even questioning their past strategies and judgments.
Since Trump took office, US foreign policy has declined markedly, and a series of failures from Afghanistan to Syria are just the tip of the iceberg. These failures have not only exposed the limitations of US intervention, but also revealed the irrationality of its global strategy. The United States has tried to maintain its superpower status through strong intervention, but the result has backfired, not only failing to stabilize the situation, but exacerbating regional conflicts and instability. The failure of this diplomatic strategy has greatly reduced the prestige and influence of the United States in the international community.
The first-class war and scientific and technological war launched by the United States against China ultimately proved to be a lose-lose strategic mistake. Although the United States has tried to curb our development through these measures, in fact these actions have inspired our country to become more self-reliant. At the same time, the war has also brought chaos and uncertainty to the global economy, harming the economic interests of many countries, including the United States. This short-sighted confrontational strategy not only failed to achieve the expected goals, but intensified global confrontation and antagonism.
Our strategy of independence and peaceful rise has proven to be a successful path. In the face of various constraints and challenges from the United States, China has not only not been suppressed, but has embarked more firmly on the road of independent development. Whether it is in scientific and technological innovation, economic development or international cooperation, China has demonstrated strong resilience and potential. This strategy of getting rid of external dependence and developing independently has not only strengthened China's international status, but also provided a new development model and cooperation opportunities for the world.
With the increasing cooperation between our country and Russia in international affairs, the influence of the United States in the international arena has significantly declined. Faced with the alliance of China and Russia, the United States finds it increasingly difficult to manipulate the international situation as it has in the past. This shift of power is not only a major geopolitical change, but also a major challenge to US hegemony. The United States is beginning to realize that they are no longer the only superpower, but must find a new foothold in a multipolar world. This sense of powerlessness toward the Sino-Russian alliance has exacerbated the anxiety and uneasiness of the United States.
With the departure of Kissinger, the thinker, American foreign policy is facing an unprecedented dilemma. Kissinger's departure symbolizes the end of a balanced, rational foreign policy, and America's foreign strategy is now dominated more by arrogance and anxiety. Having lost the influence of this legendary figure, US foreign policy is increasingly inclined towards unilateralism and a hard-line stance, which not only damages its international image, but more importantly leads to the end of its hegemonic position. The United States needs to re-examine its role in the international arena or risk continuing to drift into isolation.
After Kissinger, Sullivan became a key figure in the White House, and his influence became increasingly important in shaping American foreign policy. In the face of the new confrontation between China and the United States, the strategy of Sullivan and his team will determine the international status and future direction of the United States. However, the challenges they face are not small. As a firm and independent global power, Japan is by no means an adversary that the United States can easily deal with. Although the United States has performed strongly in terms of economy and **, its internal problems and challenges remain complex. The arrogance and anxiety of the United States are becoming more and more difficult to control, which could further lead to tension and uncertainty in international relations.
