February**Dynamic Incentive Program World War II left an eternal spiritual scar on the Chinese people, and whenever we mention it, we will feel saddened by the pain and suffering experienced by our ancestors.
However, European history has not had a detailed record of the Chinese people who died in World War II, and even for the exchange of certain interests, they did not hesitate to downplay the war of aggression against China, and tried to erase people's memory of Nanjing.
At the beginning of 1945, global fascism gradually collapsed, and the United States and the Soviet Union privately reached an agreement on exchange of interests and anti-Japanese cooperation in order to compete for future world hegemony. After the war, the contradictions between the United States and the Soviet Union gradually escalated, and they secretly negotiated with Britain in Yalta on what to do with Germany and Poland, and at the same time planned to carve up spheres of influence in the Far East.
In this process, China was quietly divided unconsciously, and soon after, the Nationals signed the "Sino-Soviet Friendship Agreement" with the Soviet Union, which was accused of being the Soviet Union, which led to the legalization of the Soviet Union's rights and interests in the northeast region.
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached peace talks and established a "coalition" under the persuasion of the United States and the Soviet Union**Although the Soviet Union and the United States tried to consolidate their respective interests in China, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party actually shared the same goal - to unify all of China.
In the end, the Communist Party of China won the War of Liberation, the People's Republic of China was founded, the United States began to impose containment sanctions on China, and China and the Soviet Union began high-level negotiations and redrafted the Treaty of Friendship.
Under the leadership of the Communist Party, New China bravely went to the world, and with its wisdom and tenacity, it successfully faced the joint suppression of the United States and the Soviet Union.
In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the relations between China, the United States and the Soviet Union attracted much attention, and the changes in Sino-Soviet relations became the primary topic of discussion. The Soviet mentality toward the CCP was quite ambivalent in the early days of the Liberation War, because although the CCP was not completely under the command of the Soviet Union, it showed a firm attitude on the issue of sovereignty, and there was a significant gap compared to the US-backed Kuomintang military power.
In the face of the CCP in the early stage of the Liberation War, the Soviet Union was skeptical of its victory over the Kuomintang and the preservation of its rights and interests in the northeast region, so it remained cold to the CCP and turned to the Kuomintang to win over.
However, the CCP proved its strength to the Soviet Union with practical actions, and the attitude of the Soviet Union changed accordingly, and China and the Soviet Union established an alliance in the early 50s of the last century.
This kind of "alliance relationship" is not completely equal, but a manifestation of patience and wisdom in seeking security and refuge for the sake of New China.
About the Soviet Union as a country, many people know that it is a world leader in terms of military, economic, medical conditions, etc. Therefore, for the new China at that time, the Soviet Union was an example for their desire to learn and develop.
The Sino-Soviet cooperative relationship was the wisest choice made by the CCP in light of the international environment at that time. Although in the early 50s, China was not enough to attract the attention of the Soviet Union, but China's performance on the Korean battlefield impressed the Soviet Union.
In 1953, the signing of the "Armistice Agreement" demonstrated to the world the combat effectiveness of the Chinese people. Western newspapers and magazines have reported on the deeds of *** and the Communist Party of China, and their names have been warmly sought after in the socialist countries of the world.
In the mid-50s, after the new generation of Soviet leaders came to power, Sino-Soviet relations briefly warmed.
During that period, China and the Soviet Union signed a series of cooperation agreements and determined in-depth cooperation in agriculture, military, education, science and technology and other fields. However, in the late 50s-early 60s, Khrushchev tried to build up a military radio wave and a combined fleet in China, but was resolutely resisted by the CCP.
Under these conditions, the USSR decided to withdraw specialists, terminate all cooperation, which led to a deterioration in relations between the two countries. Facts have shown that the Soviet Union expected a China that would be "cooperative, obedient and controlled," not a China that would be independent, cooperative, and developing.
Historically, the USSR saw only the United States as an equal competitor, and its main focus has always been on Europe. The attitude of the USSR towards China was always clear, either "obey" or self-destruction.
As for Sino-US relations after the founding of New China, because the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, US interests in China were damaged, and the Chinese Communists made it clear that they were "close" to the Soviet Union, so the United States refused to recognize New China and imposed comprehensive encirclement and sanctions against it.
At that time, the image of the United States in the hearts of the people of Chinese mainland was like that of a "jackal, tiger and leopard," and slogans "Down with US imperialism" could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
After the economic blockade and harassment by warplanes, the attitude of the Chinese people towards the United States has reached the point where all the people are soldiers. In 1950, we sent volunteers to fight in North Korea and fought fiercely with the U.S. military.
Over the next three years, the Chinese People's Volunteers succeeded in pushing US imperialism to the negotiating table with the spirit of treating death as if they were at home and preferring to die. Although after the end of the Korean War, the United States continued to create incidents on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and frequently invaded the mainland's airspace, Sino-US relations have always been in a state of hostility.
In the 60s, the United States was drawn into the Vietnam War, pursuing a policy of strategic tightening, which gave the USSR the opportunity to close the gap with the United States. For the sake of its own interests and strategic considerations, the United States has had to reassess its relationship with China.
So, as the two most powerful countries in the world, why did the United States and the Soviet Union not conquer unarmed China? And China, in an embattled situation, has avoided the crisis of national annihilation again and again?
The decision of the great man is the key to China's extrication from the predicament As we all know, after the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union planned to let the Chinese Kuomintang and the Communist Party rule the north and the south respectively, but both Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Kai-shek resolutely defended China's unity and did not accept the mercy of the United States and the Soviet Union.
The United States and the Soviet Union did not directly intervene during the Chinese civil war, not only out of respect for China's internal affairs, but also because the two countries did not have a complete cooperative relationship, and were wary of China's competing interests to avoid the other's gains.
If the United States and the Soviet Union sent troops to land in China and support the Kuomintang and the Communist Party respectively, it would interfere in China's internal affairs, which might lead to the Kuomintang and the Communist Party uniting against the United States and the Soviet Union, so they ultimately chose to stay on the sidelines.
The World Anti-Fascist War had just come to an end, and the United States and the Soviet Union were too busy dividing up the forces in Western Europe to take care of the Chinese Liberation War. They only care about the profits of the war, and do not want to get involved in the huge cost of war, and it is more practical to look for the best people.
During the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the United States and the Soviet Union did not meddle in China's affairs because of their own concerns and interests. So, during the Cold War, when the two countries were already leading the world in military technology, why could they still not stop China's rise?
In 1962, the conflict between China and India broke out in southern Tibet, and from 1964 to 1973, China participated in the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Vietnam and Laos. In 1969, China successfully defended itself against Soviet aggression on Zhenbao Island, and in 1979, a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam broke out.
In the face of the severe test of the international environment, China still stands firm, relying on its keen insight into the world pattern and accurate judgment of the international situation, to achieve survival and counterattack in the gap between the United States and the Soviet Union.
** There is a clear definition of the United States, calling it "US imperialism" and listing it as the primary enemy and target to be defeated by the Chinese and the socialist brothers.
In the face of US suppression, ** resolutely opposed it, and put forward the slogan of "clean the house and then invite guests, defeat US imperialism, resist US aggression and aid Korea, and defend the country", successfully thwarting the US ambition to get involved in China.
At the same time, ** also openly stated that it would unite the proletariat of the whole world to resist the United States together, thus overwhelming the United States in momentum.
Second, let's look at the internal reforms of the great man. ** Presented"One transformation and three reforms"vigorously develop the socialist economy, promote economic development, strengthen economic exchanges with socialist countries, and at the same time broaden the channels of economic cooperation with countries with other systems.
These measures have fundamentally changed China's backward economic situation, provided sufficient scientific research funds for China's science and technology sector and military industry, and thus provided strong support for China's development of nuclear power.
In addition, from the perspective of the international environment at that time, the United States was in a difficult situation in the Southeast Asian theater, and the two indirect conflicts with Chinese mainland ended in failure, and it was also at a disadvantage in the struggle for hegemony with the Soviet Union.
In the face of such a situation, how can the United States have the energy and courage to do it?"Encirclement and suppression"What about China?
When the Soviet Union clashed with our country over Zhenbao Island, a 10-day demonstration broke out in our country, with hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians actively participating in it. In the face of the Soviet nuclear threat, ** said: "Let us take the initiative to accept the Soviet attack, so that the whole country can unite and it will be beneficial to us." ”
This move immediately retracted the Soviet Union's edge and provided an excellent opportunity for the United States to re-establish relations with China. At that time, after receiving information that the Soviet Union was preparing to use nuclear weapons against our country, it immediately organized a meeting of the Politburo to discuss countermeasures.
Conclusion: If the Soviet Union uses nuclear weapons against China, we, the Chinese people, will advance into the Soviet Union, occupy its land and build up arms. In addition, we will prioritize strikes against U.S. military bases in Japan and South Korea to prevent them from sticking a knife in China's back.
Even if the United States strikes back against China, we are not afraid, because we are ready to move to the United States again. Soon, the decision reached the ears of the United States and the Soviet Union, and the top level of the United States immediately expressed their position, saying that they would firmly support China and do their best to mediate any crisis between China and the Soviet Union.
In 1972, Nixon opened a new chapter in Sino-American relations, and the two countries formally established diplomatic relations in 1979. During this period, although the Soviet Union did not want China to be close to the United States, it was difficult for it to show its edge again during the Sino-American friendship.
From 1979 to 1989, China and the United States experienced a decade, which brought stability to the international environment for China and greatly promoted the rapid development of China's industry.
During the period of good relations between China and the United States, the Soviet Union was contained, so it did not dare to take any cross-border actions against China. However, when the rift in Sino-American relations began to appear, the Soviet Union suddenly collapsed, and although Russia inherited the legacy of the Soviet Union, it always lagged behind China in economic development, so it did not pose a threat to China.
With its outstanding wisdom and excellent military strategy, it has opened a new path for China to be embattled and ensured to this day.
In today's Russia-Ukraine war, the impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union persists, but the impact on China is very limited. Because as early as the first era, China has learned a lesson from the collapse of the Soviet Union and embarked on the road of socialism that conforms to its own characteristics.
Although we cannot completely get rid of American infiltration, we have managed to avoid American interference in politics and defense. Since 2018, the relationship between China and the United States has fallen to a new low, from the quarrel and cooperation of the past to the cooperation and competition of the present.
The United States and NATO, on the one hand, are dragging Russia into the quagmire of war, trying to weaken Russia in order to restore the American economy, and on the other hand, they are creating trouble with China in the Taiwan Strait issue and trying to prevent China's development.
The nature of the United States has not changed with the passage of time and the lessons of history, and remains as it was 70 years ago. Russia recognized the trap of Western democratic freedoms in the lessons of the collapse of the Soviet Union, but years of sanctions have made it difficult to get out of its current predicament.
China, on the other hand, is different from the old path of the United States and the Soviet Union, and has become the existence that the United States most wants to get rid of after decades of hard work.
Why, some have questioned, is it that only Americans have the right to a peaceful life in this world. After a country or nation develops, will it inevitably be destroyed?
For imperialism, the answer may be yes, although it is somewhat cruel, but after all, this is a competitive world, and as long as there is competition, crises are everywhere.
However, historical experience tells us that any conspiracy that violates the law of world development and the bottom line of human ethics will eventually end in failure.
The history of blood and tears in the past tells us that in order to preserve the nation, we must drive out the invaders, and the lives of 35 million soldiers and civilians bear witness to this heroic feat. Today, in order to avoid a repeat of historical tragedies, we are striving to develop and become a world power.
If we measure China by American standards: "China's rise is a threat to the world", then it is clear that any country has such potential.
When war reverberates on the world stage, China's presence becomes an incentive; When peace becomes the yearning of people around the world, the rise of China will become a strong support for them.
