Retired U.S. Admiral James Stavridis recently remarked the possibility of a war between China and the United States. As a military figure in NATO who was the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, Stavridis's views may have been influenced by his vast military experience. He has expressed similar views many times, which is in line with the style of some American**. There are similar rhetoric at home, more in the service of capital interests and US military spending. The United States often claims to be threatened by other countries, but in fact it is bullying other countries.
Looking back at the many wars in recent years, the hegemonic behavior of the United States has become increasingly obvious. In an interview, Stavridis bluntly said that China will not be ready for war in the next 10 years, which means that China will not be able to compete with the United States during this time, which is seen as the best opportunity for the United States. As China's navy continues to grow, especially the construction of China's most advanced ships, which far exceeds the speed of the United States, this has exacerbated the concerns of the United States, but it has not changed the status quo. Therefore, some radicals in the United States hope that the United States will start a war with China in order to hinder China's development.
However, for the two countries with nuclear weapons, the United States obviously does not dare to act rashly. Two years ago, Stavridis had a fictional scenario of a war between China and the United States in the South China Sea, and now the situation in the South China Sea has become very tense and moving in the direction that the United States wants. After the Philippines fell to the United States, it hoped to exert pressure on China through external forces, providing the United States with an unprecedented opportunity. The U.S. ship can finally cruise in the South China Sea with the Philippines in a bright and bright manner, which requires confrontation between the Philippines and China in order to achieve direct U.S. intervention.
The Philippines has repeatedly provoked, and it is clear that there is support from the United States behind it. The disparity in strength between China and the Philippines is huge, and without the support of the United States, the Philippines would simply not be enough to become an opponent of China. A retired Chinese general said that China would not be able to compete with the United States in a very mature way in the next 10 years. He believes that this statement is just wishful thinking, showing that China will still not be an adversary of the United States in the next 10 years and will not be adequately prepared to deal with the United States.
He hopes that the United States will take the initiative to seek fighters, because in his opinion, once China and the United States go to war, the United States will still have a huge advantage, especially the US navy and air force will bring a huge threat to China, and the US advantage will be very obvious. However, China is also a big country with nuclear ** and intercontinental missiles, and it is completely possible to directly attack the US mainland. The general pointed out that it seems to ignore the power of nuclear **. Even with conventional **, what are the chances of the United States winning?In the event of a war on China's periphery, the United States will not take any advantage.
In the South China Sea, for example, even if the United States has a strong navy and air force, and even if China's navy and air force are not as good as those of the United States, China's rocket force is enough to reverse any decline. Looking back at the Korean War, the gap between China and the United States at that time was even greater than today, but what was the final result?The Volunteer Army, armed with millet plus rifles, successfully resisted the American army, which had aircraft, artillery and **. Isn't that enough to make retired American generals worry about nuclear warheads?Whether it was the Korean War or the Vietnam War, which war was carefully prepared by China?
The veteran general believes that China will not be well prepared for the next 10 years, and he is obviously overthinking. Even if the Korean War was not carefully prepared, even with such a huge gap, China successfully resisted the attack of the American army!The gap between China and the United States today is obviously not as big as it was then. In the event of a war on China's periphery, the United States will have no chance of winning.
Even if China will suffer heavy losses, China will inevitably make the US military feel painful, so that the United States can remember it for a long time!China can use its quantitative superiority against the United States, but we should focus more on quality than quantity. At the same time, we should also refrain from using military force to settle international disputes. On the contrary, we can achieve peaceful solutions through dialogue and cooperation. In this way, we can forge a more harmonious international relationship that is in the fundamental interests of the two peoples.
