A mercenary is an employee who sells his or her fighting abilities and professional skills for money. The history of mercenaries dates back to the Roman period, but it was in the Middle Ages that mercenaries really prevailed. On the battlefields of that time, many European countries used mercenaries as the main force, because they were cheaper to use than their own soldiers. Over time, the number and size of mercenaries continued to grow and became an international phenomenon.
In modern warfare, mercenaries exist in different forms and often play an important role in warfare. Mercenaries have always been a special presence in the military field, and they provide military services to the employer country or organization on the basis of an employment relationship. In some films and literature, China is described as a "forbidden place" for mercenaries, and it seems that mercenaries will not come to China. So is this statement correct?We need to analyze rationally and listen to how outsiders view this problem.
First, China has been doing an excellent job of maintaining internal security. Since the 90s of the last century, guns have been banned, and through strict laws and regulations and the effective operation of law enforcement agencies, the domestic law and order has been effectively maintained. It is no exaggeration to say that China has become one of the safest countries in the world, which makes mercenaries useless in China. After all, when you come, you can only go shopping and drink, browse the beautiful rivers and mountains of China everywhere, contribute to our GDP, and don't want to earn a penny. So the mercenaries just don't want to come, because there is no market demand.
Secondly, China has a strong defense force and modern military equipment. The army has great strategic and tactical strength. We have a high level of territorial defense and strong resistance to external threats. This makes the risk of mercenary activities within our borders relatively high, as our military has the ability to effectively respond to potential security threats. And it is difficult for mercenaries to enter the country at all, if they enter through regular channels, without **, mercenaries are like toothless tigers. If you want to cross the border illegally, it is impossible, our border guards patrol 24 hours a day, and it is difficult for a single mouse to cross the border.
In addition, China is a country with a large population and ancient culture, and the social order is relatively stable. The country has been committed to maintaining social stability and promoting economic development, relatively speaking, the stability and order of Chinese society, so that the existence of mercenaries here is not optimistic, because there is no market demand, and mercenaries are a profit-oriented organization or individual, only for money services, **there is demand, **there is war, they will appear**. So this is the case with perennially active mercenaries in the Middle East.
Therefore, China is not a "forbidden place" for mercenaries. It's just that because of our good public security environment, high level of defense, and social stability, mercenaries are not profitable in China, so naturally they will not come. In fact, there is no such thing as a forbidden place for mercenaries in the world. The mercenaries themselves are people who lick blood from the knife edge, and as long as they can afford the price, they will go to outer space.
