Why does the United States dare to sell arms?

Mondo Military Updated on 2024-02-25

In the world, ** has always been a huge deal, and the United States is one of the leading ones. Since the 18th century, the United States has exported to European powers for its own benefit. During World War II, the United States also took the opportunity to make a lot of money and sent a large number of arms to other countries, from which it reaped huge benefits. During the Cold War, the United States has been increasing its military investment in the Soviet Union, developing various advanced armaments, and selling large quantities of armaments to allies and allies in order to strengthen relations and cooperation between the two countries. After the 21st century, the United States has been vigorously promoting the modernization of equipment, including unmanned aerial vehicles, lasers, cyber warfare equipment, etc., and the United States' equipment is also constantly improving. According to the US magazine "Foreign Policy", the total value of arms given by the United States to NATO this year is as high as $28 billion.

But why doesn't the United States worry that its technology will be learned by others? Aren't they wary of us, and they're wary of Russia? In fact, the United States is not afraid of being copied by others, after all, they also have their own anti-piracy strategy. First of all, all the arms that the United States exports to foreign countries have patent rights, and any country that wants to copy or steal them will be regarded as violating international laws and will be severely punished by the whole world. Secondly, all the best exported by the United States to the world are streamlined versions, even if there is a full set of equipment from the United States, but because the equipment of the United States often contains many sophisticated processes and components, they have a strong correlation and dependence on each other, so they cannot be fully mastered and imitated. In addition, many U.S. products are built on its own unique technology ecosystem, which includes a high level of R&D capabilities, high-quality human resources, and a strict intellectual property protection system. Others who want to replicate similar goods will have to build an industrial system similar to that of the United States, which will be a long and cumbersome process.

So why doesn't China try to copy the American **? In fact, the reason why China has not copied the US armament is not because China lacks such capabilities and technology, but because China has a more rational and long-term strategy for scientific development. China is a big country with a long history and rich scientific connotations, and it is not our style to blindly imitate, imitate, imitate, and imitate. We have developed our own development strategy and know the dangers of copying. First of all, the reproduction of nuclear weapons is not only a technical issue, but also an international legal issue, and the other is the international community's perception of it. China is a responsible country that will unswervingly pursue the path of peaceful development and will never violate international law, undermine the international order and pursue its own interests by seeking short-term military benefits. Second, copied weapons often have some technical flaws and shortcomings. Although the military equipment of the United States and other Europe and the United States has undergone many years of development and is very stable, they are all weakened versions. But if China wants to copy them, the first thing it has to face is instability, high failure rates and high maintenance costs, and it is better to build one of its own than to waste time. Thirdly, the duplication of armaments is detrimental to the independent development of China's science and technology. Based on independent innovation, led by independent innovation, "people-oriented", people-oriented, people-oriented, people-oriented. China's blind imitation of the United States and other European and American advanced military equipment will inevitably lose the opportunity and momentum for independent research and development due to "technological dependence". This will seriously affect China's long-term development. For example, India purchased the MQ-9B "Reaper" from the United States, and the United States drove a ** for 130 million US dollars, which is much higher than the J-20 produced by ourselves.

Therefore, China did not copy the armaments of the United States, because China has its own ideas and pursuits in technology. China has always pursued the development direction of "technology-based and technology-oriented", and is committed to the cultivation of high-quality scientific and technical personnel and international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation. After years of hard work, China has achieved remarkable results in many aspects such as quantum communications, high-speed rail, and 5G communications. China's achievements are not only China's strong scientific and technological strength and broad development prospects, but also won more respect and voice in the world. At the same time, China should also realize that there is still a great distance between the level of China's military science and technology and that of the United States and other Western powers, but we must not stop catching up because of this. China should further increase its investment in science and technology for national defense, communicate and cooperate with other countries in the world, and explore new technologies and new research directions, so as to continuously enhance China's scientific and technological strength and core competitiveness. Only in this way can we better safeguard our country's security and development and promote global peace and development.
