If you think the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then you might want to revisit your views. Not long ago, an American expert published a shocking article claiming that the United States cannot go to war with China, even though the United States has 2,400 warplanes, 459 **, and 5,000 missiles. The expert's name is Davis, and he is a well-known military analyst who has consulted for the United States and the military.
Davis believes that the United States is currently too optimistic about its own military strength and underestimates China's strength. He pointed out that the last time the United States directly intervened in a war in which it won a great victory was the Kosovo War 24 years ago, and the opponent at that time was a backward army without any modern equipment and equipment.
In the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, although the United States achieved military superiority, it was unable to achieve political victory, but fell into a long-term stalemate and attrition. With the decline of the U.S. manufacturing industry, the U.S. logistics capacity has been difficult to support the U.S. military in a large-scale war. For example, Davis said that the US aircraft carrier is an important force projection tool for the US military, but there is only one US aircraft carrier manufacturer, and the production rate is very slow, and if the US aircraft carrier suffers losses, it is difficult to replenish it in time.
China is the world's largest manufacturing country, with very high industrial capacity and production efficiency, and can quickly produce and update all kinds of equipment and equipment. Davis also pointed out that China has a large and advanced modern military, and its military forces such as missiles, aircraft carriers, and submarines are capable of striking the US mainland.
He said China's missile technology has matured and can accurately strike US military installations, critical infrastructure, and densely populated areas. He singled out China's DF-41 ICBM, a missile that can carry multiple nuclear warheads, cover anywhere in the United States and be difficult to intercept.
China's aircraft carriers and submarines are also a force to be reckoned with, with China already having two self-built aircraft carriers and building a third, while the United States has dropped from 15 to 11 during the Cold War. China also has the largest number of submarines in the world, including nuclear and conventional submarines, and the level of technology is constantly improving to pose a threat to US maritime power.
Davis believes that China's Taiwan is China's counter-scale, and once the US military directly intervenes, it will trigger a large-scale counterattack by the PLA. He said: The Taiwan issue is China's core interest and an important component of China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and China and its people have a firm stand and determination on this issue and will not tolerate interference or sabotage by any external forces.
Although the United States has not officially recognized Taiwan, it has provided military assistance, conducted military exercises and Xi joint patrols, and tried to obstruct China's peaceful reunification process. If the United States really dares to go to war with China, then China will not hesitate to launch a full-scale counterattack against the United States, not only in the Taiwan Strait, but on a global scale.
China will not be like the United States, which will only carry out limited strikes and sanctions, but will use all necessary means, including the use of nuclear weapons, to defend its national interests and dignity. Such a war, he said, would be a catastrophic war, which would not only kill and maim millions of people, but also lead to global economic and social collapse and chaos.
Davis believes that the United States should abandon illusions of confronting China and instead seek peace and cooperation. He said: The United States and China are the two largest economies in the world, and the relationship between the two countries affects not only the interests of the two countries, but also global stability and development. Competition between the United States and China is normal, but competition should be based on fairness and mutual benefit, not on hostility and confrontation.
The United States and China should respect each other's core interests and major concerns, and resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation, rather than through force and threats. He said that the United States and China should strengthen cooperation in various fields to jointly address global challenges and crises, such as climate change, disease prevention and control, counter-terrorism, and advanced science and technology. He said that the United States and China should work together to uphold international order and rules and promote the building of a more peaceful, stable and prosperous world.
Davis's article is undoubtedly a thought-provoking article, in which he analyzed the military strength and strategic interests between the United States and China from the perspective of an American, put forward the view that the United States cannot go to war with China, and also put forward a proposal that the United States should cooperate peacefully with China. Whether his article is reasonable, convincing, and predictable needs to be judged and considered by ourselves.
