A friend on the Hotspot Engine Project platform proposed to conduct an election in the United States**, and my answer was that I was not interested. The fundamental reason is that it is not in line with our diplomatic philosophy, and China has always pursued a foreign policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Another reason is that the Chinese people have always built their happiness on the basis of self-reliance, and although we will not rule out opportunities in the process of development, our development policy has never been based on opportunities. What's more, whoever is elected in the United States now is not a chance for China.
China is not interested in American elections because we also have a deep understanding of American history. In the words of the 42nd Lady Clinton of the United States, there have been only 16 years since the founding of the United States without war. That is, in the less than three hundred years of American history, it has been largely at war all the time. If the United States still has cultural traditions, it should be the doctrine of taking it, what is mine is mine, and yours is also mine. There is nothing that war cannot solve.
In this land where the American Indians lived, the British were the first to kill and establish the first British North American colonies. So the first adventurers, exiled criminals, came from England and Europe, and of course they thrived in this land, so that there were the first native white people. So in April 1775 there was a war between the colony and its overlord. Americans today call this war the American War of Independence. Some also refer to it as the American Revolutionary War. In fact, it cannot be called the American Revolutionary War, because there was no United States in the world before this war, and the United States was born after this war.
After the creation of the United States, there was another Civil War in this land. It was a war between the industrial and commercial slave owners of the North and the plantation slave owners of the South. The war resolved the question of whether the United States would adopt a confederation or a federal system. Then there is the constant annexation and subversion wars of the United States against its neighbors Mexico and Canada. Eventually, the United States expanded from thirteen states to 50 states. Then came the First and Second World Wars, and then the collapse of the former Soviet Union. And then there's what we see as the current political landscape in the United States and the world.
The current history of the United States glorifies the American Revolutionary War as a Revolutionary War, that is, a war between oppression and counter-oppression, exploitation and counter-exploitation between the British North American colonies and their overlord, Great Britain. And completely erase the process of how the first whites who came to this land killed the Indians and established a colony. Even after the independence of the United States, they did not stop killing and driving out the Indians. The so-called westward expansion is portrayed by the Americans today as how their ancestors were pioneering, how industrious, etc., but in essence, the so-called westward expansion is the process of industrial and commercial exploitation of the land that originally belonged to the Indians through killing and expulsion.
After reading this history, friends should be speechless, right? Will the elections in the United States, whether Trump or Biden be elected, change their traditions? No, by the way, I would also like to remind those who have illusions about the United States, let go of the illusions, Americans do not have the genes for peaceful coexistence with others. Especially not with the political elites in the United States.
The normalization of Sino-US relations in 1972 really brought unprecedented development opportunities to China. The international environment for China's development has improved. But remember, this is not an American conscience finding. One of the reasons is that China has become an important international force by persistently developing its relations with the Third World. Another reason was that the economic crisis of the eighties forced the United States to be strategically on the defensive in the confrontation with the Soviet Union. In order to balance the confrontation with the Soviet Union, the United States had to unite with China to resist the Soviet Union. This is the need of the international political situation and geopolitical developments.
Remember what Trump said during his first campaign? He said that the improvement of Sino-US relations has benefited Chinese more than that of the United States. The implication is that the United States has lost a lot of money in the business of improving Sino-US relations. Therefore, in the development of Sino-US relations, the special chaos spectrum scolded his predecessors from Nixon to Obama. If he wants to make the United States great again, he must put things in order in Sino-US relations. As expected, Trump's smear against China in this election will surely surpass the previous one. As I explained in my post "2024 America May Be a Contest to Smear China", it has become a bipartisan consensus in the United States to contain China's development and smear China.
You look at Biden's god words on smearing China, China's electric vehicles exported to the United States collect sensitive data from the United States, and pose a serious threat to the United States. A directive from Beijing could shut down 3 million electric vehicles on U.S. roads. Isn't it more Trump than Trump.
Therefore, in the United States, whether the Democratic Party or the Republican Party is in power, nothing can be changed about China. So, are you still interested in elections in the United States?
If I had to choose which of these two people would be relatively beneficial to China, I would really choose Trump. Why? The simple answer is one sentence: compared with those ** oilers, Trump is a political amateur and easier to deal with.
