A netizen asked me why the world's second-largest country, such as Japan and Germany, which is infinitely close to the United States in history, has not been able to surpass the United States in the end. Should we break the game?
First of all, to say that there is infinitely close to the United States in history, there are almost no countries in the second largest country in the world. From the perspective of Japan and Germany, after the end of World War II, these two countries, as defeated countries, have been suppressed by the United States in such a state without their own independent power.
For example, like Japan, after the United States took control of Japan after the war, the United States did not allow it to have its own country's army, and all its military power was firmly controlled and controlled by the United States. What does it only let Japan do? According to the needs of its globalization interests, it is assigned some designated development directions. For example, if some japanese technology is at the forefront of the world, then it (the United States) uses its (Japan's) power to develop its (American) technology. Through these advanced technologies, we will drive some of Japan's industrial industries.
In this way, Japan, first, can get richer and richer on its own. Second, it cannot jump out of the control of the United States. When the yen reached a certain point and began to endanger the dollar, the United States took measures to suppress it.
In the 1980s, 60s and 1980s, Japan's economy developed rapidly, and the yen accounted for nearly 60% or even more than the dollar compared to the dollar. After seeing the yen rise, the United States felt that this posed a threat to the hegemony of the dollar, so it forced Japan to sign a "plaza agreement", and the United States immediately beat Japan back to its original form.
To this day, why is it said that there is a Japan that has lost 30 years, and that to this day it has not turned over, and the yen is still crushed to death, which shows that it has not reached the possibility of infinitely approaching the United States. Because the main dominance of the state is not in its own hands, but in the hands of the United States, the United States asks you to do what you want, you only have to do, Germany is the same as this (Japan).
Then what really means that there is infinite access to the United States in the world should be said that there is no front except for the current China, including the Soviet Union. In the past, when the Soviet Union formed two major camps against the United States, it only sat on an equal footing with the United States in terms of military strength, and almost everything else was very different from the United States. Its economy is far from keeping up with the United States, it is less than half of the United States.
The scientific and technological force is only that the military industry and technology are very developed, and nothing else, nor any other aspect of trade. Therefore, when the Soviet Union confronted it in the form of a bipolar pattern in the world and the Pattern of the Cold War, it was mainly a confrontation between the Warsaw Pact Alliance (Warsaw Pact Alliance) under the leadership of the Soviet Union and the NATO Alliance (North Atlantic Treaty Alliance) led by the United States.
But why did this confrontation eventually collapse? It is because its economy, its trade, and other aspects of the foundation are too thin to engage in such a long-term confrontation with the United States. Eventually, coupled with the division within Russia, the United States disintegrated the Soviet Union through the means of color revolutions.
Since then, all these threats have not formed such conditions of real and infinite proximity to the United States, including now the European Union. Although the European Union is very large and has a strong economy, you see that after the end of World War II, NATO's dominance of its military power has always been controlled by the United States.
No matter how economically developed you are, no matter how developed your trade is, no matter how rich you are, but your political and military status will always be pinched by the United States.
The place where the neck of the EU is military and political, has been pinched by the United States for seventy years, and the EU still cannot form an iron plate, so it has not been constituted.
The possibility of such an infinite approach to the United States as mentioned above is not good for military strength and politics, so it can only be a little brother who will always obey the orders of the United States.
Only now, if you look at China, only in the past seventy years, only China has been truly infinitely close to the United States. Whether it is the size of the economy, the strength of science and technology, the military strength, and all aspects, including our friends in the world, are constantly forming a comprehensive and powerful force.
Why is the United States afraid? The reason is precisely this, it has seen a comprehensive strength, constantly approaching the United States infinitely, and it has seen that in the visible time period, we have to surpass it in several aspects, which is the key point that makes the United States really nervous, and it is necessary to make it clear to everyone here.
