“If China with a population of more than one billion people is allowed to live a good life like us, it will be a world disaster, and we cannot allow this kind of picture to appear! In 2011, Obama, then a U.S. president, said this when he mentioned China during a visit to Australia.
In recent years, the United States has frequently targeted China in terms of economy, scientific and technological development, national ideology, etc., and even repeatedly "economic sanctions" against China and started an economic war, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, China's economic development has been rapid, and it has become the world's second largest economy, making the United States think that China is the number one threat to them.
Actually,The ideologies of China and the United States are also very different, with China adhering to the concept of "peaceful development" and the United States having a hegemonic ideologyThe United States is very angry with China, a country that may "hinder" its interests at any time, so the contest between the two countries has been going on for a long time.
Many people in the outside world do not understand why the United States is targeting China across the ocean. Some British scholars believe that the main reason is that China has committed an "original sin"!
So, what is this "original sin"?
China has a history of 5,000 years, but it was during the Qing Dynasty that it really opened the door to the worldAt that time, the Qing ** was weak and incompetent, and after other countries had completed the industrial revolution, this ancient country in the East was still closed to the rest of the country, ignorant of changes in the outside world.
After the Opium War, China's national door was completely opened, and the Qing Dynasty, which had no power to fight back, could only compensate in various placesChina has become the "best paradise" in the eyes of Westerners, and everyone wants to come and get a piece of the pie, which has reduced China to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.
But through the efforts of generations of young people, China is no longer the country that was slaughtered by othersThe founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 opened the way for China's rise.
After the reform and opening up, this large eastern country with a population of 1.4 billion has regained its vitalityIt has made a leap from poverty to wealth, and has been comprehensively improved in terms of economy, science and technology, and social status.
Because of its history of being colonized and invaded in history, China is well aware of the truth that "if you are backward, you will be beaten."Therefore, in the military field, we have an absolute number of military forces, not only with the world's leading military technology, but also with the world's second-largest number of aircraft carriers.
The Qing Dynasty's policy of closing the country made a large number of China's ** outflow, and for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we were all in poverty, but with the reform and development of various systems, China's development has attracted the attention of the world. Especially after China joined the world's leading organization, it took a few decades to become the world's second largest economy, second only to the United States
In the face of the rapid development momentum of the second, the first United States naturally could not sit still.
The biggest gap between developed and developing countries in the world today is the difference in the way they make moneyAs the world hegemon, the United States has long achieved the dominance of capital and created a large amount of wealth for its own country.
Economists generally agree thatThe U.S. approach to capital accumulation is typical of "wealth earned by high-tech technology."
To give a simple example, the core technology of the international semiconductor chip industry is mainly controlled by the United States, and the United States can use its own technology to distribute production and manufacturing to developing countries, and then sell the finished products to developing countriesThe United States can get 90% of the profits, but the developing countries that have invested human and financial resources do not.
This development model of the United States has allowed the whole country to live a high-paying and stable lifeThe GDP of the whole country ranks first in the world, and China, the former "world factory", has now begun to take the road of science and technologyReady to imitate the United States, also want to "make money lying down."
From a "wage earner" delusion to a "boss", how can the former boss, the United States, endure it? China's awakening has made the United States feel threatened like never before.
Therefore, the famous British scholar Jeffrey put forward the main reason for the United States to target China in a speech:Because China has committed the "original sin", and this "original sin" is to achieve rapid economic development and all-round modernization, thus challenging the world order dominated by the United States.
Jeffrey's point of view is reasonable, and the United States is defending its own status by setting up a "GDP-only theory."That is to say, as long as a country's GDP reaches 60% of that of the United States, the country will turn on a red light and will be targeted by the United States just like the Soviet Union at the beginning.
In fact, the United States is not only targeting ChinaIt may be that China is trying to change the way of making money and squeeze the United States to develop any country!
The relationship between China and the United States is complex and changeable, and the exchanges between the two countries date back to the sixties and seventies of the last century. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Sino-US relations have always been relatively deadlocked due to ideological differences.
After World War II, the camps of socialism and capitalism were basically formed, especially the Warsaw organization led by the Soviet Union and NATO led by the United States fought for 40 yearsAs a socialist country, China has naturally become an "enemy" in the eyes of the United States.
In 1950, the Chinese Volunteers crossed the Yalu RiverThe War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began, which can be said to be a head-to-head contest between New China and the United StatesAt that time, the United States did not take China, a new technologically backward country, into account at all, and once threatened to end the fighting as soon as possible and go home for Thanksgiving.
As a result, everyone knows that even if the Chinese People's Volunteers are the most backward people, every soldier has lofty ideals and beliefs, and they have won this battle with their lives with a huge disparity in strength, and the United States has failed. The courage and strength of the Chinese frightened the Americans, that is, in this battle, the beams of the two countries were officially concluded.
Since the end of the Cold War, China has begun the pace of reform and opening up, and its comprehensive strength has continued to riseThe "China threat theory" has once again appeared in the United States, and various remarks such as the "China-US competition theory" have appearedSince then, the United States has begun to formulate a series of policies toward China.
After China's accession to the WTO, its economy has developed rapidly, its GDP has jumped to the second place in the world, and its contribution to the global economy is also increasing, for its own interestsThe relationship between China and the United States has also changed from a "hostile relationship" to a "partnership" of common interests.
But in the face of a rapidly rising China,The United States has always regarded us as a "time bomb", and even in the partnership, the two have experienced competition again and again.
After more than 30 years of development,At present, China has developed from a poor and backward country to the world's second largest economy, and its comprehensive national strength has been greatly improvedAt the same time, as one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, China's international status has also been continuously improved, and it has more and more voice.
With the development of China, the "second in the world", the United States has also implemented measures to curb China's development, which has led to the Sino-US war that has attracted the attention of the world.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has been applying for WTO accession, but the United States has always obstructed itIt was not until 2001 that China officially adopted it and joined the circle of world economic development。After joining the WTO, China's development strength frightened the United States, especially after Trump took office, and began a series of economic sanctions against China in an attempt to curb China's development.
In 2013, the Sino-US war officially began, with the development of US sanctions and the increase in the radiation field, this war has become more and more fierce in the world, escalating, and has become a world-focused war. In 2016, Mr. Trump called China "the world's number one economic power."
In 2018,Trump has once again stepped up his repression of China policy, and the United States has begun to impose massive tariffs on China, trying to hinder China's development.
In 2020, in order to further contain China, the United States proposed the "Asia-Pacific rebalance" strategy, withdrawing troops from the Iraqi battlefield and deploying a large number of warships in the Pacific region.
Period,The U.S. has also proposed a list of Chinese entities and individuals and put them on a "blacklist," saying that these individuals and groups have a serious impact on the world economy
In 2021, the United States closed several companies in China, and the following year decided to implement new restrictions on China's 5G communication network equipment and high-tech products.
In recent years, the United States has pointed the finger at Huawei, a Chinese national enterprise, precisely because Huawei has been trying to develop chips, which is undoubtedly a challenge to the economic status of the United StatesFortunately, Huawei was not suppressed by the United States, but successfully developed a chip in difficulty, which is also the first time that China has surpassed it in the field of science and technology in modern times
Since the United States felt the threat to China's development,They have taken various measures to contain China's development, since 2001, when the United States began to impose sanctions on ChinaMore than 20 years have passed, and to sum up, the US sanctions against China are mainly manifested in the following points:
First, sanctions in the economic sphere. The United States mainly collects funds by imposing tariffs on Chinese goods, narrowing the Sino-US deficit, and then suppressing the exports of Chinese enterprises and weakening the position and influence of Chinese enterprises in the world market, and finally achieve the goal of suppressing China's economy.
Second, profitUse its own scientific and technological strength to suppress China's scientific and technological progress. In particular, the technological blockade in the field of chips and semiconductors has suppressed China's scientific and technological development and progress, and then made China fall back into a backward state.
Third,Stigmatize China and reduce China's international influenceNot only did they interfere more in China's internal affairs, but they also created topics such as the "China virus", so that the world could see an image of China in their mouths, stigmatize China, and indirectly hit China's international reputation.
In short, in order to suppress China's progress and development,The United States has carried out round after round of suppression, and in addition to direct military conflicts, China and the United States have involved all aspects.
What should we do in the face of round after round of constraints by the United States?
With the development of China's economic strength and comprehensive national strength, we are no longer the old society during the Opium War, facing the suppression of the United StatesWe must rise to the challenge, and only by achieving our own rapid development can we resist the suppression from the United States and gain a firm foothold in the fiercely competitive international community.
In the face of US economic sanctions, we should continue to adhere to reform and opening up and promote high-quality development. We will continue to increase our domestic and international market share, achieve steady and healthy development of our own economy, and put China on a higher level of development.
In the face of the technological blockade of the United States, we must adhere to the concept of "talent" and "rejuvenating the country through science and technology" and constantly enhance our own strength. At the same time, we will deepen education, improve the quality of the people, and enhance social cohesion. We must unswervingly persist in R&D and innovation in the field of science and technology, strive for the continuous development of our own scientific and technological strength, and rely on the development level of the United States to achieve transcendence, so that we can gain more voice in the international community.
In the face of the stigmatization of us by the United States, we must adhere to the concept of peaceful developmentOn the one hand, we need to benefit more poor and backward countries with the fruits of our own development, so that the world can see China's ideas. On the other hand, it is necessary to actively integrate into the international system and show an open attitude. Firmly uphold the authority of the international system with the United Nations at its core.
At the same time,We must strengthen our self-confidence and patience in the development of the country, steadily develop and strengthen our strength, and at the same time uphold our own internal affairs and sovereign integrityWe must resolutely not make the slightest concession, and with the support of the international community and the blessing of our own strength, we will resolutely safeguard our legitimate rights and interests.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States almost achieved the status of "world hegemon" and occupied a favorable position in both the international community and its own developmentHowever, China, a rising eastern country, has made the United States see the threat, from economic sanctions to technological blockade, it can be said that it has done everything to control China's development, and has started a Sino-US war that has attracted the attention of the world.
As the expert Jeffrey said, the reason why the United States is targeting China is because China has committed an "original sin".Our development has threatened the economic efficiency and international standing of the United States. It is true that in the eyes of the United States, they are naturally worried about China's development, but this sentence is inevitably too one-sided and subjective.
To know,China's development has always relied on normal economic exchanges, and it will not pose a threat to any country at allAt the same time, our development will not only not affect other countries, but will also benefit more countries and bring more benefits to most of the poor countries in the world.
Therefore, at the moment, we do not need to pay attention to the United StatesAs long as we adhere to our own development philosophy, we will usher in new breakthroughs in development, and our international status will also be enhanced, and then we will be able to make more contributions to peace and development.
