The West is afraid of China, and because of the three major decisions of the great man, it has shocked the West to this day
Night Talk Editor Wang Tu: Why is the West so in awe of China? It is only because our leaders withstood the pressure and made three important decisions, which still have a far-reaching impact!
As the crisis in Ukraine continues to escalate, we have witnessed first-hand the dilemmas faced by the once mighty Russia under Western pressure. However, although the West dares to challenge Russia, it has always been afraid of China.
Why, then, is the West so in awe of our country? One of the important reasons is because in the past, our great men have made three important decisions under great pressure.
So, what are the three major decisions of the great man that still fear the West today? First of all, the first difficult decision was to resist US aggression and aid Korea. In the eyes of most of us, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the decisions of great men have usually been widely praised.
However, this is not the case. Many issues were widely controversial and even attacked and abused in the time in which the great men lived. However, this did not affect the great man's decision-making, and he still persevered under great pressure.
If it weren't for the determination and courage of the great men at that time, I am afraid that we would not have a peaceful life today.
Resisting US Aggression and Aiding Korea, the great choice of that era. With the benefit of hindsight, we all believe that this battle is the consensus of the whole nation, and that it is impossible for us to coexist peacefully with the United States if we surrender without a fight.
However, returning to the scene of history, we see that the great man is under tremendous pressure. There were many people both inside and outside who expressed concern about sending troops to the peninsula to fight the United States, not because they were afraid of death, but because the situation was really difficult.
When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949 and the Korean War broke out in 1950, our national strength and military strength were relatively weak at that time. The great man's decision to select the country's most elite troops to go to the peninsula to help other countries fight has aroused opposition.
Although the old Chiang was defeated and retreated, there were still his henchmen on the mainland, and once there was negligence, Chiang Kai-shek still had the possibility of turning the tables. At the same time, at that time, the public opinion and conditions in our country did not support the war, and after a hundred years of war in China, the people just wanted to farm the land, have children, and live in peace and stability.
This is also the reason why Chiang Kai-shek launched a civil war that aroused popular opposition.
In the face of the resumption of war, people wondered whether public opinion would fiercely oppose it. Looking back at the history of 100 years of semi-colonial plunder, China's economy is already in full of holes, and it is in urgent need of recuperation and recuperation, and it is not appropriate to fight again.
At the same time, as a belligerent in World War II, although the United States joined in the later stages of the war, it was far away from the battlefield, its economy was basically undamaged, and even earned a lot of wealth in the war, which made its economy and comprehensive national strength reach its peak, and even the Soviet Union could hardly match it.
After many years of fighting against Germany, the Soviet army suffered heavy losses, and the western cities were almost destroyed. The USSR at this time was in dire need of restoring urban facilities. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the United States at that time was the first in the world.
However, in this period of poverty and weakness, we decided to challenge the United States, the strongest in the world, which aroused widespread opposition, and even Lin Shuai held opposing views. However, the great man insisted on sending troops to aid North Korea, and in the end we not only drove out the United **, but also demonstrated China's strength to the world for the first time.
This war was the battle of the new China's Liwei. Since then, although there have been other provocations from other countries, most of them have not dared to fight us on a large scale like the United States.
Because they saw China's power in the Korean War, which is the first factor that the West is currently afraid of China.
The development of the atomic bomb was an important choice faced by the great man, and he firmly believed that only by having his own nuclear weapons could he protect the security of the country and the people. In the face of MacArthur's threat, the great man did not hesitate to say that he would use grenades against antigenic bullets, and vowed to win the war.
However, after the end of the Korean War, the great man began to realize the threat of the atomic bomb and realized that it was possible for many countries to use the atomic bomb against our country. This made him deeply worried and decided to independently develop Chinese's own nuclear ** to ensure the security and dignity of the country.
Therefore, his second difficult choice was to protect the security of the country and the people, and decided to develop Chinese's own nuclear **.
During the Korean War, he said that the use of grenades against antigen bullets was mainly to motivate our fighters and deter the US military. However, he knew in his heart that without the atomic bomb, we would always be "inferior" in international standing and might even face a threat to our lives.
This threat was something he was unwilling to accept. Therefore, he put forward a proposal for the development of nuclear **. Most people in modern times also believe that the plan he proposed was supported by the majority of the people.
However, the plan to develop nuclear ** at that time was also opposed by a large number of people. Their objections were not unreasonable, because our technology was too backward at that time. At the time, even if we were to go all out, we probably didn't know how many years it would take to get there – at least that's what most people outside the industry thought.
As we struggle to grow our economies under the pressure of war and debt, we are faced with a challenge: how to conserve money while developing our nuclear **?
This sounds like "labor and money", and it seems to ignore the issue of people's livelihood. However, ** the marshal is firmly in favor of our leader, he said, even if it means selling our pants, to develop our nuclear **.
This has drawn criticism from those who believe that this approach ignores people's livelihood issues and pursues only military expansion. However, this does not mean that everyone is against our nuclear ** program.
Although the opposition was sharp, we remained committed to our goals.
In the face of difficulties and doubts, great men steadfastly lead us forward. Although our scientific and technological and economic strength needed to be improved at that time, the great man was able to lead by example, save money, work hard, and gradually promote the development of the nuclear industry.
In order to encourage scientists to devote themselves to nuclear research, the great man did not hesitate to sacrifice his appetite, and even asked the relevant departments to provide meat for scientists on a regular basis, so that they could have enough energy and motivation to devote themselves to their work.
These scientists also poured their wisdom and enthusiasm into every aspect of the nuclear industry, and finally we succeeded in developing the atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb and intercontinental missile, and became one of the world's most important nuclear powers.
All this has become an important guarantee for our peace and stability today.
Without this powerful **, our security would be under great threat. The third difficult decision: the great man withstood the pressure and decided to develop China's own industrialization process.
This may come as a surprise: Could it be that industrialization is also controversial? Theoretically, industrialization could indeed increase the country's strength, but there was no public opposition at the time.
However, if we want to achieve full industrialization, we must invest heavily in heavy industries that will help people's livelihoods less. These heavy industries may not bring any benefits in the first few years, but continue to consume human and material resources, which caused a lot of opposition at the time.
At that time, we were still quite poor, and many people could not even have enough to eat, but the great man invested a lot of money and food in industrialization, which caused many people to directly or indirectly raise objections.
In the early stage of industrialization, most people generally believed that industrialization was not impossible, but that it was necessary to make trade-offs, starting with light industry related to people's livelihood, and then gradually turning to heavy industry after economic development.
This aggressive industrialization strategy has sparked a lot of opposition. However, looking back at history, we can see that if the strategy of developing light industry first had been adopted, it might not have been possible to have a strong heavy industry.
Because once the industrial pattern is formed, it is very difficult for a country to change, just like Russia, although it has developed heavy industry, it is very difficult to develop light industry.
Therefore, the path to industrialization requires clear planning and long-term considerations.
Whether it is Russia or the United States now, it is a difficult task to complete the reshoring of manufacturing, because once the pattern is formed, it is difficult to change. However, China has persevered in the face of difficulties, and now it has become the most industrialized country.
This means that Made in China is almost all over the world, and China is capable of producing almost any product. This kind of war potential and comprehensive national strength have made us one of China's cards that the West fears the most.
Therefore, it is precisely because of the three insistences of the great man that the United States is so jealous of us now.
