It is absolutely impossible for the United States to admit which side of China and the United States is in decline, and in terms of its various economic indicators, it is generally on the rise.
In such a situation, it is certainly impossible for the United States to admit that it is going downhill. However, China's development speed is very fast, and in terms of the proportion of the total economy, the United States does not have much advantage.
In the near future, it is really uncertain how China and the United States will develop, and which side will have better economic development. The reason why the United States is in decline is also relative.
You must know that after the rise of China, all aspects of development have been surprising, which has also led to the fact that the advantages of the United States are no longer so obvious. So the United States has been watching China for a long time.
Of course, if other countries rise too fast, they will also be regarded as a thorn in the side of the United States. This is also the reason why China has been suppressed by the United States until now.
Once any country affects the hegemony of the United States, blockading and suppressing that country is one of the usual means used by the United States. When its national strength was far inferior to that of the United States, China was never afraid.
Today's China is no longer the same in all respects, and through the three confrontations with the United States, it can be seen that the United States is the one who misjudged China.
For a long time, the consistent style of the United States has been to do everything possible to suppress its competitors, and in order to consolidate its international status, the United States can be said to have done everything in its power. When we see that China is getting stronger and stronger and has made great strides in all fields, it is impossible for the United States to turn a blind eye.
They are not trying to compete with China in a healthy way, but they want to blockade and sanction China to achieve the goal of containing China's development. The most recent confrontation was the chip semiconductor incident.
It is undeniable that the United States' R&D strength is indeed stronger than China's, but China cannot be at a disadvantage in this regard, so it is also accelerating the pace of development in the field of science and technology.
Just as the United States believes that once they suppress it and stop providing high-end parts and mobile phone chips to China, China will suffer a huge blow, especially in mobile phones.
The United States' miscalculation of China this time is that they believe that China has no way to develop chips and can only rely on the United States. When the U.S. no longer provides, the impact on China will be very significant.
At the same time, China's development in this area will stagnate and eventually have to bow to the United States. It's just a pity that this idea is only unilateral by the United States.
In fact, China has never stopped the pace of independent research and development of chips, especially the rise and growth of Huawei mobile phones, even if the United States cracks down in various ways, it will be useless.
China's development in this field has not been constrained, but has developed step by step, and no matter how the United States implements a technological blockade, it has not affected China, which has made the United States somewhat angry.
The United States has been trying to dominate the world since very early times, so they have always wanted to turn China into a country under their control.
For this reason, after Japan's unconditional surrender, they did not hesitate to choose to support the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek, and even helped them snatch the fruits of victory.
At that time, the United States not only provided billions of dollars in economic aid to the Kuomintang, but also asked MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the Far Allied Forces, to order the Japanese troops in the Japanese and Chinese theaters to surrender only to the people, and not to other anti-Japanese armed forces.
The other armed forces mentioned here are obviously referring to the Communist Party, which believes that their decision to "support Chiang" is completely correct and will eventually be able to achieve this goal.
Unexpectedly, the final result surprised them, even with the strong support of the United States, the victorious side was the Communist Party. The United States has not understood this truth, and they really have too little understanding of China's basic national conditions, and their understanding of the Communist Party has made them make wrong decisions.
It can be said that this confrontation was absolutely unexpected by the United States, their wishful thinking was completely wrong, and when New China was founded, their plan to support Chiang Kai-shek was also in vain.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the Communist Party had just established its political power and the country was in a period of ruin, it was the wisest choice to concentrate on construction at this time.
Only when the country is strong can it resist any aggressor and better safeguard the interests of the country. If you are backward, you will be beaten, and this is the understanding of every Chinese.
When the Korean War broke out, China was hesitant to send troops or not, and after some analysis at that time, it was still decisively dispatched.
At that time, the United States had pondered the question of what China's attitude would be when it attacked North Korea. They also believe that China is likely to sit up and down.
In the eyes of the United States, China at that time had just experienced the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and its desire for peace was higher than that of any other country. Coupled with the Taiwan issue at that time, the United States believed that China had no time to take care of anything else, that is, it was impossible to send troops to help North Korea.
So they had no fear, and even crossed the border and bombed some cities in northeastern China. They expected that China would not dare to have any opinions, but unfortunately they were very wrong.
They were somewhat shocked when China sent troops to North Korea, because if they did, it would likely cause economic and political turmoil in the country, and the regime that had been built up so hard could collapse again.
This can only be said to be something that the United States will never do on its own, and it also believes that China will not do it. Of course, even if the Chinese volunteers were seen crossing the Yalu River to support North Korea.
They also didn't take it to heart, the United States has great confidence in its own advanced nature, and has some understanding of the equipment of the Chinese volunteers, and the commander at that time, MacArthur, even said wildly that he would end the fighting before Thanksgiving.
However, the fact is that China won the Korean War, and the United States eventually had to sign an armistice. This encounter also ended in a Chinese victory.
It can be said that the United States and China have had many confrontations, and the final result was not as the United States imagined, and it was completely the United States that misjudged China and underestimated China. Being able to become the world's second largest economy despite US suppression and blockade is enough to show that China should not be underestimated.
Nowadays, China's rise is unstoppable, and it is obviously impossible for the United States to sow discord and isolate China from other countries.
