Imagine that you are in an extremely fierce competition, facing a powerful opponent, only to find that all the sharp weapons in your hand seem to have lost their edge, whether it is political, economic or technological means, it is like holding a blunt knife. This is the dilemma facing the current US strategy toward China!
The recent article by Michael J. Mazar, an analyst at the RAND Corporation, is like a heavy wake-up call to the United States! He bluntly pointed out that the US strategy towards China is almost ineffective, and in the face of such a powerful opponent, the United States ** is in a dilemma and seems to be in a difficult situation.
Come to think of it, China's industrial power is now far ahead of that of the United States, which is not comparable to any rival the United States has ever faced. The industrial output value exceeds the sum of the United States, Japan and Germany, and the world's most complete, independent and complete modern industrial system, these figures are shocking! No wonder Magyar believes that the United States does not actually have the confidence to be able to defeat China.
What is even more chilling is that the United States is no longer the world's largest industrial country in the past. The industrial transfer of the 80s, the dominance of financial capital, and the objective law of economic development led to the gradual distancing of the United States from its past glory. Just like a warrior who has lost his sharpness, how can he be victorious on the battlefield?
In the face of this situation, the United States seems to have begun to seek new means of suppressing China. However, the economic pressure and the technological war have not been as effective as they could have been. China has a huge domestic market and a complete industrial chain system, which allows it to absorb and alleviate external pressures to a certain extent, which makes US sanctions almost lose their sharpness.
What is even more unfortunate is that the "final hole card" plan of the United States seems to be a castle in the air. South China Sea crisis? For China, this is just a piece of cake! China has firmly taken a sovereign stance and successfully seized the initiative on the South China Sea issue by developing friendly relations with its neighbors. The U.S. provocation in the South China Sea has only brought China closer to ASEAN countries, and the U.S. presence in the South China Sea is merely a self-amusement for the "bare-bones commander."
All in all, the dilemma of the US strategy toward China has been laid bare in vain. In this war of the century, the United States seems to have lost the initiative. And China, with the momentum of rapid development, is moving forward steadily, who can stop China's rise? It's like an epic showdown, and we'll see who will have the last laugh?
