With China as its enemy, is the United States sure that it has thought about it?What are your odds o

If you want to ask: which is the most domineering, arrogant, and self-righteous country in the world today?I believe that no country can compete with the United States for the first place;I believe that every Chinese will feel the same way. A few days ago, a friend asked a question: Do you know that after the founding of New China, the People's Liberation Army fought several wars with the United States?In my impression, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China fought the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Sino-Indian Border Self-Defense Counterattack, the Sino-Soviet Battle of Zhenbao Island, the War to Resist France and Aid Vietnam, the Support for Laos' Air Defense to Resist US Aggression, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, and the War of Self-Defense and Counterattack against Vietnam. In the seven major wars, China and the United States alone have fought three of them. Among them, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was the largest and most brutal war between China and the United States. Our people's army not only beat the "wolf of US imperialist ambitions" but also packed up a group of "little brothers" who closely followed the United States. They are 16 countries, including South Korea, the United Kingdom, Canada, Turkey, Australia, and the Philippines. In other words, China almost single-handedly faced the 17** team led by the United States, and finally won the completely unequal war.

The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was the first head-to-head confrontation between the US military and our army. On October 19, 1950, from the first head-to-head battle between the Chinese People's Volunteers and the US-led "United **", this war was fought for nearly three years. The United States lost 54,246 killed and 103284 wounded, and 5,178 missing and captured during the war. The U.S. military death toll accounted for 94 percent of the total number of "United**" deaths16%, the daily average** far exceeds the Second World War. This is a defeat that the United States has never had in its history. The Chinese People's Volunteers forced the Americans to bow their proud heads with great sacrifices and reluctantly signed the armistice. The U.S. official may be concerned about face, so it calls it a "truce", and the United States ** also "skillfully" evaluates the outcome of this war: the United States did not win, and China did not lose. However, everyone on earth knows who "loses" and who "wins" in this Sino-US war!American General Clark told such a big truth. In his memoirs, he wrote: "I gained an unenviable fame as the first commander in the history of the United States to sign an armistice that did not lead to victory. The words of Bradley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, are even more interesting: The United States "fought the wrong war against the wrong adversary at the wrong time, in the wrong place." "From June 1965 to August 1973, the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the US military clashed again in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam. Antiaircraft artillery units of the Chinese People's Liberation Army shot down 1,707 US planes of various types, damaged 1,608, and captured 42 US pilots. In the end, the Chinese and Vietnamese troops joined forces to drive the invincible American ** team out of Vietnam. From 1969 to 1973, our army supported Laos' anti-US air defense. This was the third confrontation between the squadron and the US military, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army once again played a triumphant song. In this battle, the People's Liberation Army shot down 35 US planes of various types and damaged 24. These are the records of the past wars between China and the United States. In the three direct (or indirect) engagements between the US ** team and our army, the US troops all ended in defeat and suffered heavy losses.

Still, the Americans, who have consistently run rampant around the world, have not learned the lessons of failure. Far from the hegemonic history of the United States in the past, in recent decades alone, the United States has interfered in China's internal affairs and infringed on China's national interests: In 1989, the United States provoked and launched comprehensive sanctions against China;In 1993, the United States flagrantly violated international law by forcibly searching the merchant ship YinheIn 1996, the United States dispatched two aircraft carrier fleets to roughly involve China's military Xi in the Taiwan StraitIn 1999, the United States openly bombed the Chinese Embassy in the Federal Republic of YugoslaviaIn 2001, the United States collided with and destroyed a fighter plane of the Chinese Air Force in China's airspaceIn 2008, the United States instigated relevant countries to block the Olympic Torch Relay around the worldThe United States has also flagrantly violated the Sino-US Joint Communiqué and repeatedly sent arms to TaiwanThey have built an encirclement around China, organized numerous military exercises in the Pacific region, and Xi China as their main imaginary enemy. In addition, under the guise of "human rights", "democracy" and "safeguarding China", the United States has carried out a comprehensive containment of China in the fields of finance, oil, religion, and high technology. They have challenged China's sovereignty and core interests time and time again, and tested China's bottom line of tolerance. In any case, what the Chinese care about and what issues are most sensitive, the United States will harass and "touch porcelain" again and again. China has always been a peace-loving country, and the Chinese people oppose war and hope to live in mutual respect and harmony with all countries in the world. Therefore, with this attitude, China has always taken into account the overall situation and calmly and generously responded to various challenges posed by the United States. However, China's generosity has not been exchanged for the "discovery of conscience" of the United States, and the "forbearance" of the Chinese people has not made the United States learn to "respect." In recent years, the United States has intensified its provocations and malicious slander, suppression, and encirclement of China. Especially in the recent stage, the mouth of the United States has frequently burst out such wild words as "speaking to China from a position of strength." For a time, "black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it", "the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings". Americans, what's wrong with this?Do Americans suffer from "amnesia" and "forget the pain when the scar is good"?Does the United States want to provoke another war?Has the United States ever thought - what a formidable adversary they will face?Has the United States figured it out?Ready to get started?In fact, "belligerence" and "hegemonism" are the innate nature of the United States. As everyone knows, if a war breaks out between the United States and China, it will be an "all-out military, political, economic, and diplomatic contest" between the United States and China. What is the confidence of the United States to act arbitrarily and recklessly?In today's world, people are more closely connected, exchanges between countries are becoming more and more frequent, and the entire international community has become highly civilized. However, the thinking of Americans is still stuck in the primitive stage of "the law of the jungle". To this day, they uphold the "law of the jungle" and are accustomed to coercing other countries by force, while ignoring or ignoring all other factors. The United States still wants to dominate the world forever, and this is the "law of the jungle" that Americans believe in. To a certain extent, this mode of thinking in the United States is almost the same as that of bandits and bullies who "have guns and are the king of grass." The United States can therefore compete with the United Nations and be not bound by the United Nations and international law;The United States often talks about "rules" and "order," but it is often the destroyer of "rules" and "order."The United States keeps saying that it "protects human rights," but it is an out-and-out "human rights violator."The United States can be untrustworthy and unilaterally break treaties, bypass the United Nations, sanction other countries in accordance with its domestic laws, and even carry out military strikes against other countries. It can be seen that among the political, military, economic, and other factors that constitute a country's overall strength, the United States attaches the most importance to military strength. And the hegemony of the dollar, culture, technology, etc., is based on this foundation. Therefore, the world's No. 1 military strength is where the "confidence" of the United States to dominate the world lies.

What are the odds of the United States?For the three contests between the United States and China, Americans can "selectively lose their memory," but they cannot change the facts of the past. Several wars between China and the United States have illustrated the fact that advanced military thinking is more important than equipmentA strong comprehensive national strength is more important than a purely military force;Just wars are always about winning over unjust wars. It was once said: "It is an important factor in war, but it is not the determining factor, and the decisive factor is people, not things." "History proves that the judgment of the United States is far-sighted, and the perception of the United States is foolish. You must know that in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea 70 years ago, China's military strength was not half a star worse than that of the United States. However, the squadron drove the Americans away and scared the Americans. After the end of the war, many US officials exclaimed in interviews: Fighting with the squadron is simply a nightmare. "The Chinese are terrible, they don't want to die when they start a war, even if they run out of bullets, stones and sticks can be their **, and even teeth can be '** A general at the US Military Academy at West Point said in an interview with Chinese reporters: "For us American ** people, the Vietnam War was a political defeat, not a military defeat." "In Vietnam, the U.S. team fought with their hands and feet tied. Fearing China's entry into the war, we had to cross the 17th parallel, and we ended up fighting a bad battle. "The Korean War, on the other hand, was a complete military defeat. "In any case, we cannot understand that a country that is recognized as the most powerful in the world, with its army, navy and air force, has not been able to defeat a poor country's primitive army. "This is the eternal shame and scar of our American team and country, which is unbearable to look back on, so let's not talk about it. The reporter asked the general: "Is the US military a command error, or is there a problem with the combat effectiveness of the troops?"The general replied, "There are two reasons." We really have no excuse for the first battle other than the reason for being caught off guard. "We can only accept one very uncomfortable conclusion: the combat performance of the US military on the battlefield with superior equipment is inferior to that of the squadron. "The American general made a special mention of the **-invincible *** mentality unique to the squadron." * The chairman once said: "US imperialism is strong now, not really strong. "It's politically weak because it's detached from the people at large, and everybody doesn't like it, and the American people don't like it. "It's strong in appearance, but it's actually not scary, paper tiger. It looks like a tiger, but it's paper and can't stand the wind and rain. I think the United States is a paper tiger. "We have to be cautious in our conflicts with China, for example, in the Kinmen artillery battle and in the Vietnam War," the American general said. The American general finally said: "With my personal wishes, there should be no more war between China and the United States, otherwise both sides will lose and the consequences will be unimaginable." "If I have to fight one day, I can only hope that the squadron at that time will not have too much *** color. The reporter said: "Can it be understood in this way: the US military is not afraid of the modernization of the squadron, but is afraid of the modernization of the squadron." The American general's face was solemn and he nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with the reporter's point of view.

** It is a unique military strategist in the history of mankind who is good at attacking more with less and defeating the strong with the weak. The American general said: "The military ideology and practical combat application of the * are very subtle and unique, and we have not been able to find a good way to deal with it so far." He added: "Although we are studying him as an adversary, I always have the deepest respect for ***." It is reported that there are *** people who are honored by the US Military Academy at West Point as "Bingjia Champion", one is the "martial saint" Sun Wu, and the other is the legendary military thinker *** Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once said something like this: The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has allowed the Chinese to gain a foothold in the world. Let's look at it from a different perspective. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, although China paid a lot in this war, it also gained a lot. China fought for peace and justice, played the national and military prestige of New China, and greatly enhanced national self-confidenceAt the same time, this war also enhanced China's international status and won the respect of the people of all countries in the worldThe Chinese People's Liberation Army has withstood the test of modern warfare and has experienced and grown into an army capable of adapting to modern warfare. As an imaginary enemy of the United States, China is now recognized as one of the three major military powers in the world. The United States has about 5,000 nuclear warheads, and China has about 300 nuclear warheads, which is far less than that of the United States. However, from the point of view of nuclear deterrence, this gap is almost negligible. The reason is this: in essence, there is no difference between destroying the earth a hundred times and destroying the earth once. In terms of conventional military strength, the gap between China and the United States is not small. However, with the rapid installation of China's new generation of fighters, the launch speed of China's first-class ships is like "dumplings", and the inclusion of domestic aircraft carriers, the gap in military strength between China and the United States is constantly narrowing. From the perspective of the strength of China and the United States, China in the future should not be underestimated. What kind of adversary is China to the United States?In fact, China has always maintained consistent strategic determination and resilience in dealing with the contradictions between China and the United States. This is also the fundamental reason why China has turned danger into a disaster in every round of the brutal Sino-US game. 2021 is the most important year of this century for China. China has achieved the first of the two centenary goals and is moving towards the second centenary goal, that is, to become a great modern socialist country. In addition to the above-mentioned factors, China also has a clear advantage in many other areas. 1. Institutional Advantages: China has taken the road of socialism with its own characteristics. Under the unified leadership of the Communist Party of China, whether it is the same hatred of the enemy, resisting foreign aggression, or fighting flood relief, earthquake relief, and fighting the epidemic, the performance of China and the Chinese people is impressive. Many people, including Americans, cannot understand the question of how the Chinese Communist Party has unified the minds and wills of 1.4 billion people in such a short period of time and realized a game of chess for the whole country. Just imagine what a powerful force it must be for 1.4 billion people to unite as one. The whole party, the whole country, and the whole people are united in their efforts, and they should concentrate their efforts on doing great things. There is no other country in the world that can do this except China. This kind of cohesion and mobilization capacity is beyond the reach of the United States. The ongoing anti-epidemic campaign is a vivid example of this. In general, China's medical care is not as advanced as that of the United States, but China has succeeded in controlling the spread of the epidemic. Compared with the response and measures of the United States** when the epidemic hit, it is self-evident which is better and which is inferior. This highlights China's institutional advantages from one side.

2. China is catching up with the world's advanced level at an astonishing speed and making up for its own shortcomings. In 2018, the U.S. National Defense Strategy for the first time positioned China as a "primary, comprehensive, and global strategic competitor." This is a reflection of the fact that between China and the United States, China is no longer strategically secondary and subordinate, and is no longer passive or neglected. This also means that China's strategic position has shifted from passive to reciprocal in Sino-US interactions. Although China's current national strength is still not as strong as that of the United States, there is still a clear gap, but this gap is partial and shows a gradual downward trend: in 2010, China's economic aggregate surpassed Japan's, jumping to become the world's second largest economy after the United States. In 2018, before the pandemic, China's GDP was 67% of that of the United States. Economist**, at the current rate of development, China will surpass the United States within 10 years to become the world's largest country in terms of economic aggregate;In the 80s, the per capita income of the United States was 40 times that of China, and today, this multiple has been reduced to about 6 timesChina's total retail sales of consumer goods are expected to soon surpass that of the United States and become the world's largest consumer marketSince 2013, China's total cargo volume has surpassed the United States for many years and jumped to become the world's largest cargo countryAbout 130 countries around the world list China as their first partner, twice as many as the United StatesChina's economic contribution rate, global leadership and future prospects have been more optimistic about the world in recent yearsWith the launch of China's Belt and Road Initiative with a global perspective, the United States' position in China's strategic landscape has gradually declined, while China's ability to respond to and shape the United States' strategy has been greatly enhancedSince then, China has its own pace of development and is no longer led by the nose by the United States. On the contrary, the spillover effects of China's external communication, policy trends, and financial fluctuations on the US society are becoming increasingly apparentChina's scientific and technological strength is also rising rapidly and conspicuously, and has made key progress and advantages in some important fields such as communication equipment, integrated circuits, and Internet financeChina's patent applications have already jumped to the first place in the world, leaving the United States, a patent powerhouse, behindChina has its own space station, and it will soon become the only space station for humans to inhabit spaceIn recent years, China's scientific research funding has been about 80% of that of the United States, which is slightly lower than that of the United States, but the growth rate is much faster than that of the United StatesChina's household savings rate has always been among the highest in the world, with 36 in 20188% and 7 in the United States6%, China's household savings rate is 48 times;Although the United States is the most developed country in the world, it is also the most indebted country in the world, and the federal debt of the United States is 14 of China7 times;Among them, as of November 2020, China held US$1,063 billion in U.S. bonds, ranking second largest overseas after Japan and holding U.S. Treasury bonds. 3. National soft power In the 2021 Global Soft Power Index rankings, the United States ranks 6th, and China's ranking has risen to 8th, and the trend of continuing to rise is very obvious. What is "soft power"?According to the earliest definition of Professor Joseph Nye of Harvard University in the United States, the main connotation of soft power is values, culture, policies and mechanisms. This thing can't be seen or touched, but it's real. Culture is a form of soft power. We have noticed that the "fast food" culture in the United States is gradually being abandoned by many Chinese, and the ancient, excellent Chinese culture is rapidly returning. Fulfilling international obligations is a form of soft power. Since its establishment, China's peacekeeping forces have sent more than 35,000 soldiers, surpassing the 30,000 of the United States and ranking first in the world. In the waters off Somalia, China's peacekeepers have carried out uninterrupted peacekeeping escort missions for 10 consecutive years, without a single mistake for 10 consecutive years, and have been commended by the United Nations on many occasions. China has always paid its dues to the United Nations on time, while the United States is the country that owes the most to the United Nations

National image is also a kind of soft power. In recent years, because of the "America First" and "America First" policies and repeated moves to "withdraw from the group," the national image of the United States has declined significantly, reaching its lowest point since the end of World War II. According to the Pew Center, 74% of the world's population does not trust the United States**, and nearly half of the population does not like the United States. According to Russia Today, only 12% of the world's countries believe that the United States is a trustworthy partner, while a whopping 42% believe that China is more trustworthy;In recent years, China has performed well in social stability, urban security, infrastructure, and the sharing economy, and its experience in governing the country has set an example for developing countries. In contrast, social governance in the United States has long been in the midst of periodic crises such as racial contradictions, partisan disputes, and gun controlChina adheres to the concept of equality and mutual benefit to make friends, while the United States uses the strategy of "carrots and sticks" to make enemies everywhereChina advocates non-alignment, but there are more and more friends who are walking together. U.S. allies are spread all over the world, but there are also more and more enemies that the U.S. sees as a "threat";The traditional allies of the United States are increasingly "in the same bed" and "looking inseparable", and many countries have begun to turn to China on issues such as the Iranian nuclear issue, the United States and climate changeThe United States has groundlessly accused China of "genocide" in Xinjiang, while racial discrimination and inequality in its country are not uncommon. Soft power is also reflected in the confidence of the people. The Chinese people's social psychology towards the United States has changed from strategic inferiority to strategic self-confidence. The American view of Chinese society is gradually "demythologizing". In the eyes of more and more Chinese, the United States is no longer a "beacon of freedom and democracy," and there is no need for China to copy the American path. The hypocrisy of "American-style democracy" and "American-style supervision" has been fully recognized by the majority of Chinese, and Chinese generally have great confidence in the development of their own society. A number of international polls show that Chinese are the people who have the most confidence in the country's future development and are also the people who are most supportive of their country's development strategy. This kind of support for the country is incomparable to the United States, and it is also unimaginable to American politicians. Compared with the social and political partisanship in the United States and the increasing self-denial of the domestic system in the American academic circles in recent years, a high degree of social unity is an important bargaining chip for China to gain an advantage in the process of the Sino-US game.

But, as all people have shortcomings, China is not an omniscient and omnipotent country. For example, in chip technology, aircraft engines and other technologies, China does still have certain shortcomings. However, China is accumulating elements of a global power. China has become the world's second largest economy, the largest manufacturing country, the largest country in goods and the largest country in foreign exchange reservesIn 2014, China became the world's largest investor and the third largest foreign direct investorThe renminbi has become the world's fifth-largest settlement currencyChina has eliminated the people living in absolute poverty;China's higher education has made great progress, with the number of undergraduate and graduate students graduating each year among the highest in the world......All in all, China is playing an increasingly important role in the international system. China is the country in the world that is most likely to surpass the United States first. Judging from the current situation of the strength of China and the United States, as an external force, the United States is only a long-term intervention variable in China's development, and has lost the ability and opportunity to contain China. I wonder if the Americans realize that if they identify China as an "enemy", then what a formidable adversary they will face. With such an adversary PK, is the United States sure that it has thought about it?What are your odds of winning?There is a speed called "China speed", and there is a trend called "the general trend". The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the inevitable result of historical development and has become an irresistible trend. China's improvement and development are all-round, and China is not interested in world hegemony and only wants to do its own thing. I advise the United States to first "take care of its own affairs," calmly accept the fact of China's rise, and blindly intimidate and suppress it, which can only backfire.

As long as the Chinese people continue to hold high the great banner of the best ideology and continue to move forward in accordance with the established development strategy, China will surely become the most powerful country in the world.
