Why is the United States worried about the resurgence of land power in Eurasia?
The most powerful country in the world today is the United States, which is located on the American continent and controls the world's major sea lanes through a powerful navy. So the United States is a typical sea power country. And the rise of sea power over the past 500 years corresponds to the decline of land power. The key to the revival of land power lies in the Eurasian continent. Today, the continent with the largest area, the largest population and the largest economy in the whole world is Eurasia! Before the rise of sea power, the main civilization in the world was the civilization of land power. The peak period of land power civilization was the period of the Yuan Dynasty and the four khanates, when the Mongol Empire spanned the hinterland of the Eurasian continent. It was the most prosperous period of land power in the whole world!
Later, when the Soviet Union was at its peak, it only barely inherited the mantle of the Mongol Empire. By controlling half of Central Asia in the center of Europe and Asia, the USSR was able to barely compete with the United States in the world! But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States became the only world hegemon in the world. Russia will no longer be able to compete with the United States on a global scale!
Then we come back to the practical question, why is the United States worried about the revival of land power in Eurasia? Because the American continent, where the United States is located, cannot compete with the entire Eurasian continent in terms of comprehensive strength such as population and economy! The United States is located in the Americas, which means that it is far away from the Eurasian continent, the center of the world! If a new type of great power or alliance of states rises on the Eurasian continent, it will take most of the world's countries with it. Thus influencing the world influence of the United States. Eventually, the United States will be forced to retreat back to the American continent, thus losing its hegemony in the world. And now in Eurasia, the countries that can pose a favorable challenge to US hegemony are China and Russia. Therefore, China and Russia have completely become countries targeted by the United States. As a result, the United States formed the latitude of the Eurasian continent through NATO in the European direction, Israel in the Middle East direction, and Japan and South Korea in the Eastern European direction. It is aimed at our country and Russia.
At present, in terms of the strength of China and Russia, China must be stronger. But Russia's military strength should not be underestimated, especially its nuclear forces, which are deeply feared by the United States! And now that China and Russia have joined forces to counter the United States, it is enough for the United States not to dare to act easily on the periphery of the Eurasian continent! At present, China is in a critical period of upgrading the whole industrial chain centered on high-tech science and technology. And the United States really can't come up with a better way to deal with us!
Therefore, on the whole, once China completes the upgrading of the whole industrial chain, the containment island chain formed by the United States on the periphery of the Asian continent will also be completely helpless! However, the revival of land power in the Eurasian continent will definitely not be able to rely on us alone! We also need to unite India, Russia, the European Union, and other forces that actively support a multipolar world. As the overall strength of the United States is also in the process of continuous decline, the contrast of American superiority in many parts of the world will gradually disappear. In this way, the hegemonic system of the United States in the whole world will gradually collapse!
