Chapter 222: Killing (2)
Nominally, the Soviet Union was the other side of the Cold War, but the Soviet Union never found the right way to deal with it, and passively followed the track set by the West and got involved in an arms race that it did not know what it was doing. The Soviet Union was keen to stabilize the borders of Eastern Europe, which had a vested interest in which there was no real meaning or real threat, was keen to obtain a Western legal recognition that had no substantive significance, was keen to engage in offensive military deployments in a defensive posture, and was keen to engage in a conventional and nuclear arms race with a short attack and a long one, and as a result, it fell into the trap of the West -- competing with the West's strengths according to the track dominated by the West.
The crux of the Cold War lies in the direction of the elites, because the elites like to achieve superiority and support the elitist system as a whole. In 1949, Acheson of the United States pinned his hopes on the "democratic individualist" of China. Marsh. When meeting with American journalist Louis-Anna-Strong, Dong pointed out sharply: There is no talk of attacking the Soviet Union until the United States has subdued the middle ground, and the purpose of launching the Cold War is first and foremost to attack the American people. Marsh. A wonderful footnote to the prophecy of the East. Hair. Marsh. The assertion that "the east wind overpowers the west wind" in the East was aimed at the profound introspection of the Western elites on the elitist system at that time, and the famous white militiamen Churchill and Truman, the initiators of the Cold War, made this point even clearer. Khrushchev, the idiot of the National People's Party, was ignorant. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the defeat of the Cold War actually began in the Khrushchev era, and can even be traced back to Stalin's "technology decides everything, cadres decide everything", but in the end it was only in the hands of Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
The West declared that the Cold War ended with the defeat of the Soviet Union. This is not accidental, it is the result of the West's belief that "those who are prepared for it will win." The Soviet Union's mistake also consisted in focusing solely on armament and mistakenly abandoning the use of ideological resources. The final victory of the West was achieved by the elitists of the Third World countries. and the betrayal of the interests of the people by the Soviet-Eastern elite. Objectively, China's policy of reform and opening up is also conducive to the West's realization of its Cold War goals, not only strengthening the monopoly position of the West and worsening the terms of trade of the third world countries, but also expanding the territory of the activities of monopoly enterprises.
The victory of the Cold War was marked by the disappearance of suspicion and denial of the elitist system within Western society, marked by the rise to power of Ronald Reagan in the United States and Thatcher in the United Kingdom, and the triumph of neoliberal economic policies. The disintegration and transformation of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe was only an expansion of the results of the Cold War, and it was the elitist system, with the efforts of the local elites, that occupied a larger area of territory and involved a larger population.
The key to victory in the Cold War was the loyalty of elites to elitism in general, whether in the Third World or the First World. Moreover, the efforts of the elitists within the formerly opposing groups to establish an elitist system played a decisive role. The disintegration and transformation of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe was not a competition for the charm of the capitalist system, let alone a competition for economic efficiency, but a social system in which the elitists were keen to establish an elite priority.
As a result of the long-term efforts of the Cold War era, the intellectual elite of the West has become more and more political. At the same time, the process of combining powers was also completed, and at the same time as the Cold War ended, the intellectual elite of the West had completely forgotten the original reflection on the war. Can't wait to proclaim the "end of history". After the Great War, the Western intellectual elite, based on human conscience, reflected on the Great War and doubted the fundamental system of the West, has today been called "Soviet sympathizers" in the West by the typical McCarthy tone.
Due to the disintegration and turning of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. China entered the reform and opening up, the territory of monopoly capital in the world rapidly expanded to a global scale, and the foreign goals of the West were also realized at the same time. And thanks to advances in computer technology. The West was able to gain an unprecedented monopoly on the world market on the basis of technological monopoly, and the basis for the West's dominance of international trade after the war. Rapidly shifted from the pre-war "scissors gap" to a North-South trade relationship between monopoly prices and competitive prices. It was in this process that the West achieved unprecedented prosperity and development.
The establishment of an international trade order with monopoly prices versus competitive prices. In addition to the dominance of the Western world, the countries of the South generally regard modernization as an unshakable goal of their country's efforts, which is actually another major reason for the successful completion of this process; in the early stage of industrialization and development, the countries of the South can only start with labor-intensive and resource-intensive products in which they have advantages, so that the export products of the third world countries are similar in structure and form a situation of competition with each other. At the same time, due to the spread of industrialization throughout the world, the scale of exploitation and utilization of natural resources and the scale of trade have expanded unprecedentedly, and the West has also obtained an unprecedented scale of "high-priced" products to export markets, and at the same time has obtained unprecedented monopoly profits. It is precisely with the support of monopoly profits that the West has been able to establish a very superior position in the use of resources in the world, so that the scale of its economy is completely free from the restrictions of its own economic resources, and it has become the world's center for the supply of high-priced products and the center of resource consumption.
The West dominated most of the world's resources at monopoly prices, and Soviet companies did not get a piece of the pie in the process. It is for this reason that the participation of the USSR in the arms race became a heavy burden, while the West became rich and developed. Because Soviet enterprises were unable to make sufficient monopoly profits from the world market in terms of their goals and methods of operation, as can be seen from the sincere technical assistance of Big Brother to China; On the contrary, Western enterprises have succeeded in establishing monopoly interest imports all over the world, and through the international market system, they have concentrated the use of the world's resources to contend with the Soviet bloc.
It is precisely because of the deepening of the Cold War process that the world's resources need to be mobilized, the degree of exploitation and utilization of natural resources by the third world countries has also increased greatly, and in order not to isolate themselves, the support and co-optation of allies (such as the Marshall Plan) have also made the rich class excessively expanded, all of which have led to a huge deterioration in the relationship between man and nature, and the corresponding natural resources seem to be unsupportable even if the rich and developed are limited to the current narrow range.
At the same time, the development of intelligent technology makes it possible to process and utilize resources that no longer rely on the exploitation of workers, such as cotton picking, milking and other processes that were originally thought to be difficult to automate. It is now also automated. Therefore, the urgent issue for sustaining affluent lives is to reduce the number of people who share the limited resources of the planet. The peaceful coexistence of the rich and the poor has been profoundly questioned, which is the fundamental reason for the emergence of the clash of civilizations. Theoretically. Reducing the rich population is more effective than reducing the poor, but the rich are now allies of the United States, and the hostile countries set up according to the bygone era are all Third World countries, so the result of inertial development is directed at those countries that were previously packaged as ideological enemies.
Due to China's huge population base, it is already the world's second largest energy consumer, and its industrial products are also the second largest in the world in terms of output, and China's per capita energy consumption is only 1/2 of the world average. China is already in the process of developing a sharp decline in the prices of labor-intensive products. The next step is most likely to be a step-by-step reduction of the West's technological monopoly, so that China is both a country that threatens the West's resource distribution and the biggest potential adversary that could threaten the West's monopoly profits.
Since the finite nature of the earth's resources cannot be changed, and the life of affluence and development is not only unwilling to change, but has become a consumerist ideology, a manifestation of superior institutions and freedom (that is, desires are satisfied without active restraint), and cannot be completely reversed all at once, it can be expected that the developed countries will eventually become the enemies of the United States. The so-called "absence of war between democracies" will not last long, and this situation is only an illusion - an illusion when allies are still needed before the common enemy disappears, and when the first strategic objective has not been achieved and the second goal has not yet been elevated to the agenda.
It took nearly 3 million years for the world's population to reach 1 billion around 1800. The second billion was reached in 1930, and it took 130 years for the world's population to reach 3 billion in 1960. The population reached 4 billion in 1975 and 5 billion in 1987. Today, the world's total population has exceeded 6 billion. With the rapid growth of the population at the same time as the natural resources of the world. In particular, the non-renewable natural resources on which industry mainly depends have not grown in tandem, and due to the increase in the level of development, the per capita consumption of resources continues to increase while the population has increased dramatically. The growth of energy consumption, especially the growth of urban population, is highly positively correlated. Today, 97.5 per cent of the energy on which the world economy depends is non-renewable fossil energy, and more than 70 per cent of industrial output is obtained through the processing of non-renewable resources.
World steel production was 189 million tonnes in 1950, exceeded 500 million tonnes in 1968, 600 million tonnes in 1972 and 700 million tonnes in 1974. Steel production is currently stable, hovering between 7.0-750 million tonnes. Private cars, which are the hallmark of modern consumerism, currently sell about 35 million units a year, including about 15 million in the United States and 13.6 million in Western Europe. At present, the number of cars per 1,000 people in the world is 92, the United States has 400, Western Europe has 368, and Japan has 383, which is basically saturated, while China and India have 5 cars per 1,000 people.
Taking energy consumption as an example, the world's energy consumption (converted into standard coal) increased from 100 million tons to 2.5 billion tons from 1850 to 1950, and exceeded 10 billion tons in 1988. Per capita energy consumption increased from 115 kg in 1850 to 1,000 kg in 1950, reaching 2,055 kg per capita in 1995 and 11,312 kg per capita in the United States in 1995. The average Chinese per capita is 1083 kilograms. Of course, with the advancement of technology, it is not yet possible to say that the population has formed an absolute surplus of the earth, and has reached the limit of what growth. But the rich are not willing to live on parity with the poor, they want to live at the highest level that technology can achieve, so it is clear that the world's resources cannot support such aspirations. Among them, the United States has shown a particularly prominent performance, absolutely unwilling to sacrifice its own prosperity and development for the sake of the environment and future generations, and to reduce its first obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and its refusal to sign the "Kyoto Protocol" is a clear example.
Due to China's huge population base, although the per capita number is small, the total energy consumption accounts for about 1/9 of the world's total. Huaguo's steel production accounts for more than 1/7, and you can also get a rough idea from here. Why China has become the number one enemy of the United States.
1930s, Hayek in Austria. In the great polemic with Lange in Poland on socialism, he gained notoriety in Western academic circles for his characteristic right-wing views; In 1974, this person was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, and even he himself was so happy that he burst into tears, thinking that he had restored his reputation. By the 1990s, he was hailed by Chinese elitists as the "prophet of the twentieth century" and the grandfather of liberalism.
In the late 1970s, the Western welfare state, which was the result of the profound consequence of the Western elite and the compromise of civilian power, was criticized by the Anglo-American elitists as the "British disease" in the late 1970s. The coming to power of Thatcher and Reagan is the most obvious sign of the political triumph of the right-wing forces in the West. The elite of the West has been in the post-war period for less than 30 years. Completely forgetting the results of the two world wars and the Great Depression, refusing to coordinate with the interests of the weaker classes, and pushing forward the law of the jungle with all its might, it has become the "eternal interest" of the Western elites.
In 198.9, Fukuyama, an unknown official of the U.S. State Department, threw out the "final conclusion of history", which was quickly praised by the British and American media as a classic of neoliberalism, and then packaged as a classic of human civilization.
In the 1990s, the so-called strategists of the United States were extremely active and played a great role in summing up and promoting the establishment of the national strategy of the United States. Among them, Brzezinski's "The Great Chess Game" can be regarded as a manifesto of American unilateralism, while Huntington's "The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of World History" is the general line of American unilateralism
Lenin said that "monopoly is the highest stage of capitalism", and it is true that according to today's social reality, the Western elitist system has indeed been exhausted. This mountain and water have been embodied by the deep contradiction between man and land that cannot be alleviated, and the elitist system and way of life are now encountering the hard constraints of nature. Against this background, the West, especially the United States, clamored for a clash of civilizations. It is already a prelude to the war of population eradication prepared by Western racists, and the Chinese people in particular should not take this lightly.
The prosperity and development of the West is the new unshakable basic national interest of the West. The realization of this benefit is based on the monopoly position of the West in technology and the realization of the products of Western multinational enterprises in the international market. Accordingly, two measures are needed to safeguard this interest: first, to promote the rise of the monopoly position of Western multinational corporations and to promote the self-limitation of state power that has a dissolving effect on the monopoly position; Second, it is necessary to prevent the transfer of key technologies and strengthen the competitive position of monopoly capital with the financial strength of the West. Promote the dissolution and bankruptcy and mergers and acquisitions of enterprises in third world countries. It is the unswerving goal of Western countries to eliminate the restrictions imposed by state power on monopoly enterprises, to eliminate small and medium-sized competitors in the market, and to give complete freedom to capital.
The ability of US enterprises to obtain monopoly profits in the world market is the basis for resource import, and the huge scale of resource utilization is the indispensable material basis for the United States to be rich and developed, and prosperity and development are where the fundamental interests of every American lie. This is also the basis for the United States to maintain social integration in the law of the jungle, and the so-called "big pie theory" is a lower level of "full flow of material wealth", which can obviously greatly ease the tension between people under the American elitist system. The only secret to the persistence of racist sentiments among the American elite and the public on the basis of this consensus lies in this. The key to the United States is the trinity of importation, racism, and abundance. For the United States, which does not have material resources, those who are interested can check how many shootings occurred at gas stations in the United States during the second oil crisis in 1979 for a few gallons of gasoline.
In the wake of this "war attack" (George W. Bush's authoritative definition), the explicit performances of American politicians and media elites, as well as the manifestation of the popular attacks. The deep racism in the United States in the Italian test is very surprising. As far as the Chinese are concerned, after being demonized by the United States as an enemy for many years, they have a deep understanding and experience of the deep racism complex of the American people. Racism is an incorrigible cancer in American society, and it is the reason why the United States has become one of the main sustaining forces in the United States. Of course, racism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It is premised on monopoly profits and profit inputs (Intel and Microsoft tax the world on behalf of the United States), and the result is that the United States has a dominant position in the distribution of world resources. Being able to achieve a level of affluence that others can't.
The prosperity and development of the West is based on its dominant position in the distribution of the earth's resources, and this dominant position is based on monopoly prices. The third world, on the other hand, sells its products at competitive prices on the international market, which is an unshakable and unchangeable premise. It is in this international trading system that the prosperity and development of the West can be maintained, as the former Secretary-General of the United Nations said, "development is based on underdevelopment, and the prosperity of the few is conditional on the poverty of the majority". Modernization, under the constraints of resources, will always be the value of only a part of the people, and lacks the material basis for universal access to all mankind, which is a dream that can be realized by the elitists, and this dream is premised on the destruction of the basic living conditions of the majority of people. So modernity is a value that doesn't need to be proven. It's an outright elitist value.
The United States is by no means a supporter of a "multipolar world," or even a supporter of "one superpower, many powers," and the position it needs is complete and complete dominance. In the face of the increasingly obvious trend of resource shortage in the world, the United States is pursuing the right to allocate resources completely without restraint and consultation, rather than its current dominant position in the possession and utilization of resources. Because of the progress of computer technology and intelligent technology, the exploitation of the poor is no longer a condition for the rich to be rich, so the necessity of peaceful coexistence between the rich and the poor tends to disappear, and this is what the United States is pursuing, and this is the internal logic of the clash of civilizations.
Monopoly profits are at the heart of the new global interest. With the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization as its main positions, the West has unremittingly promoted "small government" and "neoliberalism" to third world countries, with a view to realizing the principle of self-limitation in third world countries and eliminating the last restraining force on transnational corporations. This allows transnational corporations to freely exert their monopoly advantages in order to strengthen the control and decisive dominant position of Western countries in the distribution of world resources. China's so-called "integration with international standards" upsurge is an act of joining the World Trade Organization at any cost. It should be said that all of them are in line with the strategic interests of the West, and the key lies in how the West uses this process to extract more benefits and concessions.
Modernization and democracy are the two pillars of Western Cold War and post-Cold War ideology. It is the ideological factor that helps to establish the elitist system, and is the theoretical and practical basis for attracting third world countries to take the road of elitism. Because modernization and democracy can achieve "elite priority" in political and economic interests and improve the social status of elites. China's mainstream intellectual elite deliberately promotes modernization and democracy as social development goals, and declares them as so-called "universal human values", but in fact, modernization and democracy are elitist presuppositions that imply "elite first".
The core and charm of the concept of modernization lies in the affirmation of the legitimacy of people's desires to be satisfied by the highest level that technology can achieve. The concept of modernization itself is the affirmative premise of consumerism of "feeling first" and the elitism of "pursuing Lao Tzu's first in the world", which conforms to people's most primitive desires and comprehensively denies the question of whether man and nature should be in harmony and whether people should live in harmony. It is in this sense that modernization is a value rather than a science, a value based on human desires and instincts that does not need to be proven or proven.
In terms of the relationship between man and nature, unless people can break through the laws of "material immortality" and "energy balance", the limited resources of the earth cannot support the modernization of the entire population, so there is no universal significance for wealth and development. The more advanced modern technology is, the higher the standard of living that people can achieve with the help of technology, the more non-renewable resources each unit of individual needs, the less the rich people can be supported by the limited resources of the earth, and the scope of the population that can be covered by modernization must be further reduced.
It is impossible for all democracies not to be "representative democracies", representative democracies of the people. It means that it cannot be ordinary workers and peasants, but only elites from all walks of life. The sole purpose of representative democracy is to require the broad masses of the people to "vote" on various policies and strategies based on the elitist economic and political system, and to choose which elitist ruling groups with different interest groups should be made. Marsh. The populists and populist policies of the East are in essence the selection and legitimacy of the elites in the distribution of political interests. Therefore, it is not possible to carry out institutional changes in favor of the common people to any extent, and to promote the coordination of the interests of the elite and the common people. Therefore, democracy is nothing more than a form of politics that the elite needs to recognize the rationality of the elitist political spoils system.
Therefore, it is not difficult to interpret the preconceived position of modernization and democracy, which is in the interests of Western countries in international relations. Not only will it be beneficial to promote the elitist system globally, but the elites will gain a dominant position in the country in this system. At the same time as the social division at home is established, the elite becomes an unpopular stratum at home, so the elite must look to the West for moral, diplomatic, and even military support, of course, on the condition that the national interests of the West are recognized first.
In the post-Cold War era, this way of thinking manifested itself in two peculiar consequences: taking China as an example, in the 20 years since the beginning of reform and opening up, China has rapidly completed the process of "marginalization of industrial technology" from a basically independent and complete national economic system, and the process of "ideological marginalization" of Chinese intellectuals has also been rapidly completed by copying and imitating in the ideological field.
In the past 20 years, the organizational structure and staffing of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have been rapidly marginalized because they do not meet the requirements of marginalized enterprises. Forming a half-dead marginalized state of existence.
From the deep. From the perspective of the enterprise structure of Shenzhen, most of them have no social burden, the employees are in the prime of life, and they are willing to work day and night to open up the market, and at the same time, the enterprise development goals cannot have a long-term plan, and they are all working to improve the current state of personal survival, and work for pure interests, so they are most in line with the marginalized enterprise conditions of the division of labor in the international market, so they have quickly become a necessary bridge between large Western enterprises and the Chinese market. From the point of view of this corporate goal of purely serving the market. Small scale is an advantage, it is appropriate not to pursue the ability to develop technology, but it is correct to require employees to have the ability to learn and master operational skills, and only to occupy the market. More interest in making the difference than in product development is the key to working with Western companies.
Since the 1980s, elitism, consumerism, and individualism in the West have all been introduced as the ideology of reform and opening up. For a period of time, the mainstream media was centered on this. Attention and research on China's own problems. On the contrary, it is invisible, and the entire intellectual community is keen on the introduction and interpretation of Western elitist ideas. This is a classic phenomenon of ideological marginalization.
In the 1990s, Western rightist ideas, which were originally taboo, were also regarded as advanced ideas and dominated university forums. The so-called "facing the world," "being in line with international standards," and "building a world-class university" are all in line with the uproar of the West. Or is it that the main concern of this segment of the population is entirely in the establishment and consolidation of the elitist system? Peking University's Guanghua School of Management is actually a Guangmei School through and through.
The blind advocacy of the knowledge-based economy by the Chinese intellectual elite and the salivation of the so-called high-tech and high-value-added economy are in essence a compliment to monopoly profits. This process is the most concentrated manifestation of the marginalized ideological characteristics of the Chinese intellectual elite, which is the manifestation of the loss of the ability to think and study problems independently, and the loss of the ability to make independent interests and value judgments. It is precisely under the dominance of this ideological marginalization that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China is no longer able to clearly explain what China's fundamental national interests are. In response to the United States' pursuit of a unipolar world, it is extremely ridiculous to put forward some "multipolar trend" in an impactful way. With regard to every groundless accusation made by the United States against China, the practice of the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry must be to deny it and add implicit assurances. Moreover, it is within the national interests of a sovereign state, assurances to the other side that is deeply hostile.
The change in the pattern of international relations in the post-Cold War era is the disappearance of the middle ground, the unprecedented deepening of the control of Western monopoly capital over the global economy, and the expansion of the military and political power of Western countries. The formation of this pattern of international relations is due to the tremendous contribution of China. Although Western countries have technological superiority and form a monopoly on the basis of this, the trap of competitive prices for the products of third world countries in the international market is due to the decisive role of China's all-round opening process. The development of an "export-oriented" economy with almost unlimited human resources has resulted in a rapid oversupply of low-tech products on the world market. As a result, the prices of similar products have fallen sharply, which has contributed to the sharp deterioration of the terms of trade of third world countries. On the flip side, the monopoly profits of multinationals in Western countries have increased dramatically.
The Third World is increasingly politically disintegrated and polarized as a result of the intensification and deterioration of economic competition. The unprecedented increase in the sources of low-tech products in the West has allowed it to use trade tilt as a political tool to interfere in the internal and foreign policies of third world countries, which has further exacerbated the political disunity of third world countries. Under the light of the Cold War ideology, the path of modernization and democracy, the elites of the third world countries took full control of state politics. right, the vast majority chose the elitist socio-economic system. The influence of the Third World in global affairs tends to disappear, and its role as a balance, segregation and buffer zone for the interests of the great powers disappears.
Unlike the Third World, where the terms of trade deteriorated dramatically, the countries of Europe, the United States, and Japan were in an alliance that monopolized profits. Although the Cold War ended, the alliance between countries was strengthened, and it was the common economic monopoly interests in the international market that played a role in maintaining it. Sino-US relations are not triggered by China's actions to challenge US hegemony, but rather that the US needs to fix or even reduce the living conditions of the Chinese people, leaving a limited amount of non-renewable resources for the prosperity and development of the West. On this issue, Europe, the United States, and Japan share common interests, and China should not fantasize about the division of the West and hope to win over Europe and Japan by means of diplomatic or political division. The differences between the European allies and the United States are of a mere case-by-case significance and particularity, and are differences of tactical interests. It should not be relied upon as evidence.
The NMD plan is opposed by European countries, not because of any justice or justice, but because the United States has gone too far this time and hopes to base its Jedi security on the absolute insecurity of its allies. Expose allies to the risk of unwarranted nuclear annihilation. On strategic security issues, this is a space where it is difficult for American forces to coordinate and exchange, so it is difficult to divide Japan at the diplomatic and political levels. But the issue of strategic survival will be the focus of the divorce between Japan and the United States.
China needs to unswervingly tell Japan if it follows the United States in the war. China will concentrate its main forces on striking Japan. Japan must be allowed to bear a risk of a blow and the cost of war that is large enough to exceed the range of benefits that the United States can give and secure. Only then will Japan be able to become neutral or pivot. The premise of this change is that this change is possible, because the United States is no longer the United States of the post-war Marshall Plan period, and the Japanese economy has been suppressed and sabotaged by the United States since the 1980s, and in fact the main point on which Japan relies on the United States is the oil order and the role of the market, which cannot be compared with the cost of the devastating strategic war confrontation that the United States will launch.
After the disintegration, Russia is facing serious economic difficulties, intensifying class contradictions at home, and the degree of social integration has declined, making it difficult to make a difference in the world. Due to the disintegration and weakening of the Soviet Union, Western countries, especially the United States, have been willing to put Russia aside, and the Kosovo War was the result of the United States agreeing to put Russia behind China. Russia's rise up is conditional on China assuming most of the strategic pressure on the United States, and this is the opinion expressed by Russia in the language of action during NATO's war of aggression against Yugoslavia -- it is absolutely not appropriate to take the lead, and at the same time, China can no longer avoid such a situation, and the United States has put an end to its strategy of putting Europe first.
The war of aggression against Yugoslavia was the United States formally ending the situation in which its strategic Eurasian swing was established, and the principle of the United States' strategic eastward shift and Asia's first place was established, and China would replace Russia as the first strategic rival of the United States. It is precisely from this point that Russia has fully cooperated with the actions of the United States and has actively contributed to the smooth transfer of US strategy; if Russia has a resolute attitude in the war of aggression against Yugoslavia, NATO will not be able to carry on the war at all. If Russia imports 200 C-300PUM anti-aircraft missiles, NATO will not be able to carry out the air war to the end, and the Michaels will not be afraid of the ground war. During his visit to India, Primakov inappropriately called for an alliance between China, Russia and India, which almost ruined President Yeltsin's good intentions and made a mistake in the country's major national strategy based on emotion rather than reason, and was dismissed from his post.
It is in this sense that it is possible to understand what the Western media say about "the Kosovo war is the last European war." Russia has lost the will to confront the West, the front will move eastward, and the next war will break out in Asia. The incident of the "accidental bombing" of the Chinese embassy is the best and most vivid embodiment of this meaning. At the same time, it is also a strong signal sent to the Chinese government and people in advance.
It is worth recalling that in the fifties and sixties the Soviet Union and China competed to be the boss. And now they are afraid of it, and they are giving up to China. However. Rational choices cannot balance the hurt of feelings, and the war of aggression against Yugoslavia is a slap in the face of Russia. There is already a strong sense of revenge in Russia: it wants to arm the Chinese People's Liberation Army to fight against the United States. Judging from China's diplomatic performance in the 1970s and 1980s, Russia's strategic vacillation is extremely likely, and the idea that it can rely on Russia's nuclear arsenal to maintain the strategic balance of power in the world today is extremely dangerous.
With the loss of political solidarity in the third world countries, the absence of Russia, and the fact that Europe, the United States, and Japan are in the same alliance of interests, the other third world countries and India have not yet been able to grow. China's strategic posture is very prominent, and it has undoubtedly become the primary target of US subjugation. There will be no fundamental difference in what kind of political and economic system China adopts and whether it is ahead in foreign affairs and international affairs. The relationship with China is the cornerstone of the United States' absolute superiority, and the United States undermines Sino-US relations because it places Sino-US relations as the world's primary relationship and strategic core.
The U.S.-led relationship between China and the United States is not a pursuit of cooperative relations, or even a relationship in which China is a vassal, but a kind of annihilation effect. The demonization of China by the United States is not due to a lack of understanding of China, but because it wants China to lose its normal and even necessary influence, and the United States has always made groundless accusations against the Chinese government for weapons proliferation. It is precisely because the United States finds it difficult to accept and reassure at China's meager military strength and technology, and it needs China and the world in the most dangerous and submissive sense to be driven. Such a country and the world are a unipolar world in the true sense of the word. This is because the strategic goal of the United States is no longer an ideological divide or the values of freedom and democracy, but the potential need for China's huge population to share the world's resources. This potential resource requires. The closer China moves toward Western values, the more likely it is to contradict the core interests of the West's affluence and development.
It should be said that in the past 20 years, China's incumbent leaders have become more and more honest and deferential to the United States. However, this did not prevent the United States from shifting its strategic center of gravity eastward. It has not hindered the United States from intensifying its efforts to create troubles and incidents in Sino-US relations, and has not reduced the demonization of China by the mainstream media in the United States. None of these problems can be solved by "increasing trust". In fact, even the leader signed a surrender to the United States. None of them worked. Because China has a vast territory and a large population, once a leader like Taizu appears, the United States will be beyond the reach of the whip after all, and it will be difficult to achieve its wish. Therefore, the ideal state is that the leader of the treasure island would divide into seven parts, each of which will attack each other, so that the Asian order that the United States is satisfied with can rest easy forever.
The Western strategist Huntington declared a "clash of civilizations", and the past precedent of the clash of civilizations was genocide and colonization. In his book The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of World History, Huntington hinted that the means of the clash of civilizations is nuclear war, and the risk that the United States needs to guard against is a nuclear counterattack, and the US National Missile Defense system is to prepare for a nuclear counterattack. This is a real war of limited resources and the right to exist, not a war of priorities, so there is no room for evasion, compromise or compromise. Because the right of priority can be waived, but the right to survival cannot be waived, unless China is automatically divided into seven pieces and invades each other endlessly, the United States will never believe in any "surrender" guarantee and promise from China.
The Americans are very clear and firm, while the Chinese government is full of luck and even hopes to achieve American-style institutional arrangements to circumvent the difficulties in Sino-US relations. And some clever thinkers, like the democrats (of course, more tactful and refined in their terms), claim that the crux of the problem lies with the leadership and the society. Willism. These people have probably forgotten the truth that Taizu discovered that "gentlemen always beat students", and they don't even know whether China's political and economic system is closer to the American model or more far behind after the reform and opening up in the past two decades. Why are there more and more man-made incidents in China-US relations?
What China needs to pursue is not equality, not a multipolar world, but the right to life of the poor, who represent three-quarters of the world, and it needs to stand up. Moreover, there is no room for China to hide and "keep its head in obscurity," because if the United States does not completely subdue China, it will not be able to expand its superiority to the point of dominating the world, and subduing China is the first step in this process. Therefore, China is not trying to avoid and reduce any troubles, but to cheer up with confidence and work hard for the world to enter the road of overall coordinated development, and the Chinese nation's right to survive is pinned here.
