The United States does not dare to fight China? The result? Great manyears ago to reveal the answer
The United States is recognized as a "superpower" in the world, having overthrown Saddam Hussein in Iraq and bombing Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya, and now NATO countries are supporting special forms of warfare in the Donbas region of Eastern Europe in various ways.
Why is the United States taking a restrained attitude toward China?
The U.S. Marine Corps once used the Korean War as an example to explain why China and the United States did not dare to go to war lightly. In fact, the game between China and the United States began as early as 1946 during the War of Liberation.
In the history of American wars, in most wars, the United States is more inclined to support a puppet state, fight a "first-class" war, and avoid direct confrontation with its opponent.
For example, the Vietnam War and the just-concluded war in Afghanistan.
In 1946, during the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek was seen as one of the many puppets of the United States in the world. After Japan's surrender, he recognized most of the privileges of the United States and other powers in China since the Qing Dynasty.
He also signed the "Sino-US Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation" with the United States, which further handed over the domestic national industrial and commercial market to others, so that American goods flooded the Chinese market, while China's own national industrial and commercial enterprises fell into difficulties.
Chiang Kai-shek and MacArthur) The United States provided Chiang Kai-shek with a large amount of military assistance during the Liberation War, including submachine guns, carbines, rifles, heavy machine guns, light machine guns and mortars, etc., which could arm the 39 divisions of the Kuomintang troops.
In addition, Chiang Kai-shek also took advantage of the sea and air superiority of the United States to transfer hundreds of thousands of ** from the Jiangnan region to the North and Northeast regions far away from the Kuomintang region through American transport ships and transport planes, which brought a huge challenge to the Chinese Communist army.
In the battle with the Kuomintang army, ** pointed out: "All reactionaries are paper tigers!" "* Although important, the ultimate factor in determining victory in the war is the support of the people.
Facts have proved that the Kuomintang army thought it was well-equipped and invincible, but in fact they were defeated by the PLA one by one in just four years, and its million-strong army was wiped out.
This fully proves that ***'s assertion is correct.
1.During the War of Liberation, the PLA not only succeeded in occupying Nanjing, but also captured the "Bazooka" bazooka used by the United States to aid Chiang Kai-shek. In the Korean War of 1950-1953, this ** was vividly used by the Chinese People's Volunteers and became a powerful ** against American tanks.
In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's powerlessness, the United States was helpless. 2.On October 1, 1949, ** solemnly announced the founding of the People's Republic of China in Tiananmen Square, and successfully recovered all the privileges of the great powers in China.
The United States therefore decided to look for an opportunity to personally end the game and try to strangle the people's red regime. 3.In the War of Liberation, the PLA not only occupied Nanjing, but also captured the "Bazooka" bazooka used by the United States to aid Chiang Kai-shek.
This ** was skillfully used by the Chinese People's Volunteers in the Korean War and became a sharp weapon for hunting American tanks. Faced with Chiang Kai-shek's powerlessness, the United States could only helplessly watch from the sidelines.
4.On October 1, 1949, the founding of the People's Republic of China was solemnly proclaimed in Tiananmen Square, and all the privileges of the great powers in China were successfully recovered.
Faced with this situation, the United States decided to take it upon itself to try to prevent the rise of the people's red regime.
In the Korean War, American tanks became a decisive force. In June 1950, North Korean troops raided South Korea, triggering a large-scale conflict. The United States, believing that this was the best time to demonstrate its influence in East Asia, intervened in the Korean War in the name of the United Nations.
In October 1950, they spread the fighting to the Yalu River, threatening the security of our northeastern border. Facing this self-proclaimed "world's most powerful military" and the support of the 15-nation coalition, China faces serious challenges.
At this critical juncture, there is a division between war and peace in the country. However, ** overrode public opinion and issued a sentence that shook the whole country, this sentence was: "One punch opens, a hundred punches come!" ”
On October 19, 1950, General ** led the heroic volunteer soldiers to cross the Yalu River and quietly enter North Korea, starting a fierce struggle against the US army.
In the early days of the war, the U.S. military did not care about the nascent China, believing that they would not dare to fight the U.S. military, which was claimed to be the "strongest in the world." However, the performance of the Chinese People's Volunteers surprised the US military.
On October 25, 1950, they successfully defeated the South Korean army in their first battle in China. In the five large-scale battles from 1950 to 1951, the U.S. military did not take advantage of anything.
In the first five large-scale battles of the Korean War, the United States experienced a change of commander, with MacArthur, Ridgway, and Clark as commanders. Many of these American generals were veterans of the European theater of World War II, who believed that they had defeated the best military strategists of the war.
However, when they faced the Chinese commander-in-chief, who had not even attended military school for a few days, they looked helpless. In 1952, opposition to the war grew in the United States, and Clark and Van Vleet, who were on the front lines, felt tremendous pressure.
Therefore, in October of that year, they launched a military operation called "showdown", hoping to seize more actual control positions in the game between Shangganling and the Volunteer Army, and strive for more favorable conditions for subsequent armistice negotiations.
On October 14, 1954, a fierce battle began in Shangganling. In this battle, the Americans vowed to use all their strength, and they poured an estimated 10 times more ammunition, resulting in the mud of Shangganling being flattened by 2 meters.
However, the Chinese People's Volunteers did not back down. The mountain, which was expected to be captured in just seven days, held out for 42 days. After the Battle of Shangganling, the Americans completely lost confidence in defeating the Chinese People's Volunteers.
In the end, after more than a year of hard fighting, this former invincible adversary was finally forced to the negotiating table by the Chinese and North Korean peoples and signed the "Armistice Agreement."
In 1954, China participated in the Geneva Conference for the first time as a world power, and together with the United States, it brokered peace agreements on the Korean Peninsula and Indochina.
However, the United States still had evil intentions, and a year after the conference, the American-backed Vietnam War broke out in China's southern neighbors, and they supported the reactionary Ngo Dinh Diem regime and adopted the strategy of "the United States shoots, Vietnam shoots" and began a brutal war.
In the early years of the Vietnam War, Ngo Dinh Diem**'s corruption and military defeats triggered U.S. intervention. The United States used the "Gulf of Tonkin incident" in 1964 as a pretext to carry out a large-scale bombing of northern Vietnam, inflicting huge losses on the North Vietnamese red regime.
Against this background, the Chinese people, under the leadership of Chairman ***, began the struggle to resist US aggression and aid Vietnam. According to statistics, China has provided a large amount of material aid to Vietnam, including 5 million tons of grain, 2 million tons of oil, 350,000 cars, 600 boats, and up to 100.6 billion yuan of general supplies.
In addition, an anti-aircraft artillery unit composed of Chinese volunteers secretly entered Vietnam to help the Vietnamese people enhance their air defense capabilities.
During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Vietnam, it was precisely because of the selfless assistance and support of the Chinese people that the Vietnamese people were able to stand firm in the war and defeat the strong with the weak. Although the U.S. military had the upper hand on several occasions in many battles with the Vietnamese military and civilians, the U.S. military had no choice but to withdraw whenever the Vietnamese people retreated north of the 15th parallel.
So, what exactly made the U.S. military finally give up their superiority so that they lost the war?
It was in 1973, and the American **Nixon** took over the burden left by his predecessor**, and he knew that he could not repeat the mistakes of the past. In 1950, the United States ignored China's warnings, leading to the Korean War, which left an indelible shadow on the U.S. military.
Nixon understood that the same mistake could not be allowed to happen again. So, he made an important decision, which was to withdraw from Vietnam and end the twenty-year-long war.
He knows that this is the first step in restoring relations between the two countries, and it is also an important step in bankrupting the United States' Cold War strategy toward our country. In 1972, he traveled thousands of miles to China and arrived in Beijing to meet with *** and ***, which opened a new chapter in Sino-US relations and declared the complete bankruptcy of the US Cold War strategy against China.
Nixon understood that the problems between the two countries could only be resolved through dialogue and cooperation, and that was why he made this decision.
In the decades that followed, the U.S.-China relationship entered a sweet period. Although in 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, China experienced such difficult periods as the Galaxy incident, the bombing of the Yugoslav embassy by NATO, and the crisis in the Taiwan Strait, the United States has never engaged in a real military conflict with China.
This is because the United States knows that learning from the lessons of history will not easily anger a nation of 1.4 billion people.
China's independence and self-reliance are the foundation for building a modern national defense force. The "rat-throwing device" practiced by the United States against China during the Korean War was precisely because the Chinese people displayed strong strength and firm will.
Through unremitting efforts, China made the leap from the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb between 1953 and 1966, creating the fastest development speed in the world. Since then, China has also made major breakthroughs in the fields of aerospace and nuclear submarines.
All these achievements prove that the Chinese people are an invincible force and an important guarantee for our country's strength and independence.
Today, China's national defense is strong enough for us to confidently declare that no country will dare to provoke a full-scale war at any time, because we have a strong nuclear backing that is enough to discourage them.
For the United States, its close economic ties with China also allow them to prioritize non-military solutions when faced with problems. However, that doesn't mean we can let our guard down.
Although the flames of war are far away, we should cherish this hard-won peace. The economic, cultural, and diplomatic games between countries are no less complex and intense than the hot wars of the past.
Therefore, as the leading people of the revolution, we should inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of our predecessors, blaze a new path, and serve the people with our own hands, so that our people's republic will continue to show glory in the future!
