China may be the most overwhelming "strategic adversary" the United States has encountered in history. Historically, in the face of britain, Germany, the Soviet Union, and Japan's challenge to the United States, the United States has always been able to find each other's weaknesses and suppress them, so as to have today's hegemonic position.
In the face of China's increasing rise, the United States has taken China as the object of suppression and played the old routine, using all means to curb China's development. Isolating China politically, encircling China militarily, and restricting China economically can be described as doing everything to the extreme.
But to his surprise, the "opponent" in front of him was actually more and more contained, the stronger he became. Seeing that China is about to surpass the United States step by step, the desire to contain China's rise has become more urgent, and the United States has no better way to face such a situation, which is the place where the United States is most collapsed. As former U.S. President Barack Obama put it, "America is reluctant to be second in the world."
The current state of the United States is to "do its best and know the destiny of heaven" and use all the means at its disposal to create trouble for China and to delay the pace of China's development as much as possible.
The Chinese Government has repeatedly stressed that China will never form alliances or seek hegemony, and that the Pacific Ocean is so large that it can accommodate the two major powers of China and the United States, but the United States has never given up its hostility to China and tried every means to contain China.
Recently, the United States has set off a small upsurge of anti-China, used a set of combined fists against China, shot at China from the political, economic, and military aspects, and spared no effort to safeguard its hegemonic status.
On the political front, in addition to the hostile, isolated, and encirclement policies that the Biden administration has always adhered to, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2022 and the U.S. Competition Act of 2022, which have a total military expenditure of $768 billion, have recently been officially signed, also known as the "Anti-China Act."
In the latest National Defense Authorization Law, China's so-called "threat" to the United States is further exaggerated, and a large part of the defense budget is used to deal with China's "threat", emphasizing that it will increase the deployment of military forces in the Asia-Pacific region, the construction of military facilities, and the development of military cooperation with Taiwan, which is undoubtedly aimed at China.
Although the 2022 US Competition Act is nominally emphasized to enhance the development vitality of the US technology industry and manufacturing industry, and promote the development of the US domestic industry, it has put on an economic coat.
But in fact, this is not a legitimate bill based on international rules, which implies a lot of anti-China content, involving Hong Kong, Xinjiang, the Taiwan Strait and many other issues in China's internal affairs, in essence, this is still a law to balance China and strengthen competition and confrontation with China.
What deserves our attention is that the bill will provide a legal basis for renaming the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office" to the "Taiwan Representative Office in the United States", which is simply a naked provocation to China's sovereignty.
On the economic front, the United States has added 33 Chinese economic entities to the sanctions list. According to statistics, the total number of U.S. sanctions against Chinese enterprises has reached 175, and it has continuously increased its trade war with China and imposed special tariffs on Chinese goods. All this has seriously hindered the development of Sino-US economic and trade relations and seriously disrupted the international economic order.
At the military level, the United States is even more frequent. On February 7, the U.S. State Department announced that it would approve a total $100 million arms sales plan to Taiwan, which would provide Taiwan with five years of engineering maintenance of the Patriot missile system and its related equipment to ensure Taiwan's air combat readiness capabilities and deal with potential regional "threats."
The mainland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of National Defense strongly condemned this gross interference in China's internal affairs and damage to China's territorial sovereignty, and demanded that the US side withdraw its resolution on arms sales to Taiwan, stop sending wrong signals to the Taiwan authorities, and stop undermining peace and stability in the region.
Playing the "Taiwan card" is a habitual trick of the United States, and the Taiwan authorities will inevitably be slaughtered.
Not only that, the United States is also tangled with its allies to jointly do things for China and jointly encircle China. He instigated Britain and Germany to sail warships to the South China Sea and drove their two aircraft carrier battle groups into the South China Sea to create tension in the South China Sea.
Moreover, they have constantly loosened their restraints on Japan, connived at Japan's constitutional amendments, and broken through the military shackles on Japan so that it can further strengthen its military presence in the region, so as to contain China.
The UNITED STATES' leading military exercises around China are also one after another, such as the "Confrontation North 2022" joint military exercise, the 2022 international maritime military exercise, and the Japan-US "magnificent integration" military exercise.
Although the United States has made great efforts to contain China's rise in an all-round way, it seems to be very strong and powerful, but in fact there is no way, there is no other way but to do so, and it also fundamentally reflects the weakness of the United States.
In the face of the containment and containment of the United States and other Western countries, although it will cause certain troubles to China for a period of time, from the perspective of past history, the sanctions of Western countries can only make China stronger.
The most important thing for China is to do a good job, strive to develop its own strength, and use its own strength as a backing, and all problems will be solved. The Western strategy of encircling China is bound to end in failure, and China's great rejuvenation is unstoppable.
