In a recent U.S. think tank report, there was a hypothetical analysis of the U.S.-China military conflict, mentioning that the U.S. has the ability to launch strikes against 1,300 targets in China. This statement has sparked widespread attention and discussion. However, such hypothetical strategic analyses often ignore China's own military and economic power.
First of all, China occupies a leading position in the global manufacturing industry, especially in the fields of electronics, aerospace, automobiles, and military equipment. These achievements not only supported China's overall development, but also financed its military modernization. China has a range of advanced missiles and informatization** capable of effectively striking enemy targets.
Second, China's military power should not be underestimated. China has long-range missiles such as the DF-26 and DF-41D, with a range of 4,000 km to 14,000 km, which is enough to strike directly at the first island chain of the United States, or even the US mainland, from the Chinese mainland. The existence of these ** makes the U.S. plan to launch an all-out attack on China full of risks and challenges.
China has also emphasized the cultivation of its military personnel and the building of its industrial strength, constantly updating its technology and equipment, and promoting the development of the military field. China's geographical advantages, large population, and economic power give it the initiative in potential conflicts.
As the world's second-largest economy, China has an economic base that is sufficient to support its military development. Over time, China's superiority in the military and several other areas will continue to grow, and it is expected to surpass the United States as a more powerful country in the future.
In general, while the report of an American think tank proposes a series of steps to strike at China, these steps are too idealistic and do not fully take into account China's military and economic capabilities. In reality, any U.S.-China military conflict will be complex and full of uncertainties, and China's military and economic power will be its significant advantage in any potential conflict.
