Why is China always being besieged?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-28

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, China has faced an unstable international environment. During this period, China suffered from successive invasions from the imperialist powers and the Japanese army, and the country was almost on the verge of extinction.

In this situation, our party is united in order to save the fate of the country with all its might. After a long period of accumulation, New China rose from constant hardships and enemy encirclement, and realized rebirth and vicissitudes of life.

Over the past few decades, China's development has accelerated markedly, and its national strength has become increasingly powerful. However, this has also attracted the attention of conservative forces in the West. They colluded with some client states to carry out a "collective encirclement and suppression" against China, and at the same time created false ** in an attempt to portray China as a "public enemy".

In the economic field, the United States, together with European and other allies, has imposed sanctions on China. Biden of the United States inherited the Trump-era policy towards China, exerting pressure on Chinese companies by imposing tariffs and making a negative list.

At the same time, the European Union has also followed the lead of the United States in imposing tariffs on China. In 2020, the European Union responded to the United States by determining that there was dumping of China's flat-rolled aluminum products, and decided to impose additional tariffs, which are expected to be at a rate of 193% to 467%。

Surrounded by tigers and wolves, ** is facing severe challenges. U.S. politicians can't wait to strengthen the "security treaty" between the United States and Japan and the United States and South Korea, and enlist Australia, India and other younger brothers to plot an "Indo-Pacific strategy" in China's periphery in a vain attempt to contain China.

Vietnam, the Philippines, and other small countries have often provoked the South China Sea issue, and the United States has even drawn Japan in and brazenly vowed to cooperate in "defending Taiwan." We must maintain a high degree of vigilance to safeguard the security and interests of the country.

Despite the fact that Switzerland is a small country, it dared to form an organization called "BCI" and compile lies to smear China and challenge China under the pretext of cotton.

On the international front, Western countries tend to unite and hype up China's negative rhetoric. For example, the Belt and Road Initiative, a great plan aimed at promoting world development, has touched the interests of some countries, so it has been criticized by some countries.

In the vast grasslands, fierce wolves and wild dogs often gather in herds, but the lions still stand, showing the majesty of the king. As an Asian lion, China will never be intimidated by the encirclement of jackals.

On the one hand, China is strong enough to withstand any containment, and the jackals are also in their own hands, with evil intentions, unable to unite. In other words, although the opposition forces are now enthusiastically encircling and blocking, they do not dare to act rashly, because their actions can only make them lose in the war of words.

What we need to do is to stay calm and stabilize our position, because "striking iron still needs its own hardness", and wait for a suitable time to carry out a comprehensive **.

From the long river of history, we can see that China, with its strong national strength, has made Westerners feel awe of this great country in the East. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, China has established a large unified multi-ethnic country with a vast territory and a thriving population.

At the same time, Western Europe did not have a unified empire. The splendor of Chinese civilization has been admired by Westerners for a long time. Voltaire, the leader of the French Enlightenment in the 18th century, once praised China as "the oldest, most expansive, most beautiful, most populous and best-managed country in the world".

Even in the late Qing Dynasty, when China was impoverished and weakened, and became the target of aggression by foreign powers, China's population and total GDP remained among the highest. Therefore, a huge, unified.

1. The existence of a complete Eastern power poses a threat to the capitalist forces of the West.

To defeat this huge country, no single country can do it, only like a hungry wolf to "attack it in groups". Just as Wadsey, the aggressor in the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, said: "No European or American country has the brainpower and military strength to rule over a quarter of the living beings in the world."

A few decades later, just after the founding of New China, the imperialist powers led by the United States provoked the Korean War at China's doorstep, and the Western forces could be said to have poured out their nests, and the United States took the lead in calling 16 countries, including Britain, France, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, Greece, Belgium, and Turkey, to form the so-called "United **".

New China and the DPRK are interdependent and share the same weal and woe. In those years, the Japanese plot to invade China began with the occupation of the Korean Peninsula and the establishment of "Manchukuo" as a springboard to threaten the land of China.

This time, the imperialists have deployed heavy troops at the doorstep of New China to threaten our security. China and the DPRK are both socialist countries, and we must jointly resist foreign aggression and safeguard our national interests and people's security.

The heroic soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteers, with their indomitable perseverance and fearless courage, with the support of the people of the whole country, forced the Americans to sit at the negotiating table at the cost of blood and flesh.

Although this war cost China dearly, it created a resilient image of an independent nation - "the backbone of the Chinese people".

China adheres to the socialist path and at the same time tries to downplay ideological disputes and opposes the "clash of civilizations". On international issues, China has adopted the principle of non-resistance, non-expansion, and non-export of revolution, and has calmly observed and stabilized its position.

We have proved the superiority of the socialist system through actual development results.

In socialist countries, we firmly believe in public ownership of the means of production and people's democracy, and are committed to eliminating exploitation and polarization, and pursuing common prosperity for all people and an ideal communist society.

Under this institutional model, there is no room for the big oligarchs and big capitalists to survive.

As the great philosopher Marx said: "Communism will pave the way for the demise of capitalism!" "So, once again, China's growing comprehensive national power and international influence are gradually approaching and potentially surpassing those of the United States.

This will undoubtedly challenge the hegemony of the United States and other Western countries that have been maintained for hundreds of years, and it is not difficult to understand that they are attacking it en masse. After the end of the Cold War, the United States tried to bring China into its sphere of influence and make it an obedient country like Japan.

However, China has always adhered to its own development path, and its comprehensive strength has been increasing day by day.

China's GDP has surpassed that of the United States by 70 percent, reaching $143429 billion. After the pandemic, the trend of "rising in the east and falling in the west" in the balance of power in the world has become more obvious.

During this period, issues such as the financial crisis, the refugee crisis and the coronavirus pandemic became more prominent, exposing the shortcomings of the capitalist system.

China's efficient prevention and control of the epidemic and economic recovery, the people's high trust in the country, and the unity and self-confidence they have shown, have made Westerners feel the pressure - a strong, powerful, united, and positive China is inevitably regarded as a challenge by the hegemony of the West.

In the face of the chaotic situation in which Westerners are acting recklessly, harming others and benefiting themselves, betraying their promises, and hindering the development of globalization and global governance, the Chinese firmly shoulder their responsibilities as a major country.

Our leaders have repeatedly advocated on international occasions to lead a new type of globalization of mutual benefit and win-win results through the Belt and Road Initiative, break the power and political system of the West, and call on people around the world to jointly build a new world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, cleanliness and beauty.

China's philosophy has been written into UN resolutions and has won the approval of people around the world. As of February 6, 2022, 148 countries and 32 international organizations have signed cooperation agreements, and more than 200 Belt and Road cooperation documents have been signed with China.

China's influence in the international community has reached an unprecedented height, and even Western countries, including the United States, seem to have no choice but to "huddle" against China when they are unable to deal with it independently.

Although the repression and "siege" of Western countries have brought us many challenges, we have learned valuable lessons from them, and the Americans have not benefited from them.

Whether it is Trump or Biden, the United States continues to promote decoupling and supply cuts, industrial chain transfer and sanctions in the economy, in an attempt to relocate American companies and production capacity in China back to China, while Japan and other countries are blindly following suit.

However, the effect of this action is not obvious, and the number of companies that actually move out is limited.

No far-sighted company will give up on the Chinese market easily, no matter how agitated by the United States. China has the world's most complete infrastructure, the largest labor and consumer market, and no other country can match it.

Southeast Asia's pandemic prevention and control is not comparable to China's, and the raging virus has made it impossible for many businesses to operate normally, and Southeast Asia's infrastructure and markets cannot be compared.

As a result, smart businesses will choose to continue investing and growing in China rather than taking the risk of moving to Southeast Asia.

After decades of accumulation in the automobile manufacturing industry, manufacturers in Japan, Germany, the United States and other major automobile producing countries have established a huge industrial chain and chain in China.

If you want to move these industries out of China, it will take time first, and then you will pay a huge cost. The United States has repeatedly claimed to provide subsidies to affected companies, but the actual situation is often far from what was promised.

On the contrary, this approach will motivate Chinese to work harder, devote themselves wholeheartedly, and gather the strength of the whole country to jointly overcome technical problems. ”

Through the test of time, we have come to realize that "openness is the source of prosperity, and closure is an obstacle to development". In China, we uphold the concept of "dual circulation" at home and abroad, and actively implement a series of opening strategies such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Hainan Free Port, Yangtze River Economic Belt, Chongqing Economic Zone, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Economic Zone, which have effectively stimulated economic vitality and promoted the prosperity and development of the market.

On the international stage, we have signed the RCEP, the world's largest free agreement, with 14 countries including 10 ASEAN countries, further deepening economic cooperation and exchanges between countries.

In 2021, China and the other 14 members of the RCEP combined a staggering 1207 trillion yuan, an increase of 81 percent year-on-year1%, accounting for 30 of China's total annual foreign trade9%。

Among them, the export value reached 564 trillion yuan, an increase of 168%, while the import value also reached 643 trillion yuan, an increase of 192%。

Although the West's repression and containment have brought great instability to China and the world, China's development depends on the resilience of its 1.4 billion people and the unwavering leadership of the Communist Party of China.

Our resilience and vitality make it impossible for the West to stop China's progress, and we will continue to prosper and make greater contributions to the great development and prosperity of the world.

China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and other new globalization measures will become the driving force for world economic recovery. Therefore, we must remain optimistic, not afraid of power, and laugh at setbacks.

In this great change unseen in a century, the Chinese nation stands at a critical juncture in realizing a century-old rejuvenation. The two currents are intertwined and agitated, and together constitute the background of the international community today.

In the face of opportunities and challenges, all mankind should unite and work together. However, some countries that are complacent still adhere to the Cold War mentality, draw ideological lines, put self-interest first, and practice hypocritical multilateralism under the guise of "democracy and human rights".

They rallied allies, convened a "Summit for Democracy", cobbled together the "Indo-Pacific Strategy", completely blockaded China, and promoted wall-building, suppression, decoupling, supply cutoff, and sanctions in the international community, artificially creating **, which runs counter to the trend of the times of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win results.

Their actions will not only fail to restore hegemony, but will accelerate their own demise, nor can they stop China's firm pursuit of national rejuvenation.

In general, the so-called "global alliance to suppress China" is just a false illusion concocted by Western hegemonists. As China grows stronger and moves to the center of the world stage, the old powers will not willingly relinquish their dominance, and the resulting confrontation and competition will continue for a long time.

To do this, we must discard illusions and be prepared for a long struggle. However, the course and trend of history will always stand on our side, and China will always stand on the right side of history, move forward firmly in the development and trend of history, and strengthen itself.
