Friends who are familiar with the evolution of Sino-US relations since the 70s of the last century may know that the United States has adopted a policy of "peaceful evolution" against China for a long timeWhile developing cooperation with China in the fields of diplomacy, economy, trade, and culture, it has adopted various means to try to bring about various changes in China, including regime change, and eventually bring China into a vassal position in the Western camp.
The U.S.-China relationship is one of the most important bilateral relations in the world todayFor the United States, this is a complete set of policy systems, and at the end of World War II, they did this to Europe through the "Marshall Plan", and now Europe has basically become a vassal of the United States. But on the Chinese side, the policy system finally ended with Trump's "war" against China, and now Biden took the initiative to suspend it. Instead, Biden picked up the policy of "maximum pressure" against the Soviet Union.
But in any case, the United States has failed to achieve its own goals after all, and some US congressmen have lamented that it is not capitalism that is changing China, but China is changing capitalism. Now, Biden's aid, Jake Sullivan, who was evaluated by Hillary Clinton as a "secretary of state", also admits that Biden's series of "efforts" against China in the past 3 years have ended in failure.
Biden's aide Jake Sullivan Sullivan said that China will become an important player on the international stage for the foreseeable future, so the United States and China must find a way to coexist in competition. This sounds a little familiar, in the 70s of the last century, when the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was at its most intense, there were many similar discussions in the United States. At that time, the vast majority of American political elites believed that as a "thousand-year empire," the Soviet Union would coexist with the United States forever, so there was a policy of détente towards the Soviet Union, and the ice in Sino-US relations was broken. As a result, in 1979, the Soviet Union forcibly invaded Afghanistan, a 10-year "unjust war" that finally brought down the vast empire.
In Sino-US relations, the two countries have had a honeymoon period, but more often than not, the attitude of the Americans towards us is vigilant and hostile, and they want to take action at any time. Especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia chose a pro-Western line, and China, as the largest socialist country in the world, almost inherited the hatred of the United States for the Soviet Union. In addition to "peaceful evolution", the United States has also used tough measures against China, such as the bombing of our embassy in the late 90s of the last century and the South China Sea collision incident in the early 21st centuryBut here's the strange part, every time the United States wants to do something to us, there are some surprises that make the Americans have to shrink their strategic energy.
The 911 incident, such as the 911 incident in 2001, had to launch the "global war on terror", and we took the opportunity to join the WTO, ushering in a period of rapid development. A few years later, George W. Bush proposed the "Asia-Pacific Strategy" before Obama, but when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 2008, the United States had to bow its noble head and come to China to borrow money. During the Trump era, he launched a ** war against China, but the outbreak of the epidemic not only dealt a heavy blow to the United States' containment of China, but also made the United States itself bleed.
Then, there is Biden**, who has been in office for 3 years, and has successively proposed to "de-risk" China and China to abide by the "rules-based order" in Sino-US relationsIn fact, it is to win over all allies, concentrate all the resources in hand, and use the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea issue as a starting point to interrupt the process of our country's great rejuvenation.
In the face of China, the "weak" Biden is full of contradictions and entanglements, Biden has great ambitions, and he wants to clean up with Russia, but the reality is that not only Russia has not been dragged down by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, as well as more than 10,000 sanctions imposed by the United States and the West, but the sudden outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has plunged the United States headlong into the chaos in the Middle East. I remember that on October 7, before Hamas launched the "Al-Aqsa flood operation", Sullivan also boasted that the Middle East has ushered in the calmest period in the past 20 years, and it is only a few months, and the United States is about to go to war with Iran.
Even the "China-Russia-Iran Alliance" predicted by Zbigniew Brzezinski, the "father of geopolitics" of the United States, which may destroy US hegemony, has already taken shape. No wonderThe fact that there has been no major change in a century today is a chain reaction of the United States itself in order to maintain its hegemony and all kinds of perverse actions in the world.
In fact, as we talked about earlier, over the past 30 years, the United States has repeatedly failed to make moves against China, which is a process of gradual decline of "US imperialism" itself. They did defeat the powerful Soviet Union, but in the face of the rapidly rising China, the Americans deeply felt the helplessness of "eliminating the advantages of the other". Of course, Sullivan's admission of defeat does not mean that the United States will stop at ChinaIn the future, the great power game between China and the United States will continue for a long time, and how they will "make a move" next will not be revealed until the United States *** in 2024.
