Recently, the focus of global attention has been on the Taliban's rapid occupation of the Afghan capital. As the hasty evacuation of the United States and its allies at the airport has become a hot topic on the Internet, the sight of Afghans falling from the plane is full of emotion. Although the US military has caused countless human tragedies in Iraq, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Libya and Afghanistan in the past, this scene is unique. Trump is right, "This will be one of the biggest failures in American history!" "America's decline is accelerating rapidly.
At this critical juncture, however, we should look at the opportunities in which China stands. There is no doubt that the hegemonic status of the United States has become one of the greatest obstacles to the great rejuvenation of the people of the world, especially the Chinese nation. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has many aspects, but time and space are its foundation. It can be observed that China has seized the two-decade window of the Afghan war. The hasty withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan has created a space opportunity for China. How to deal with it smartly and achieve greater gains?
Seven years ago, under the title of "Winning Time and Space for National Rejuvenation", I clearly pointed out that Western hegemony and other forces pose a threat to China's rejuvenation, especially Western hegemonic groups. It is undeniable that the Western hegemonic clique has become China's most important strategic rival and its biggest strategic challenge. From Trump to Biden, this regime change has only strengthened the consensus to contain China, and it is clear that for hegemons, containing China and monopolizing the world have long been inseparable.
Why assert that China's greatest challenge comes from hegemonic groups? There are three reasons for this. First of all, from the perspective of objective conditions, the Western hegemonic clique has the conditions and strength to "overthrow" China, and its intention is unprecedentedly strong. Second, the hegemonic group has already acted, and its strength has become more and more intense, and it is now going all out to suppress China and compete for time and space. Finally, hegemonic blocs dominate relative to other powers, such as Russia, the European Union, emerging countries, etc.
Now that the situation is clear, in the face of the "post-Afghan war era", China should think about the strategy of dealing with the hegemonic group from the perspective of "three approaches". Now China is in a stage of "contention". Different countries have different strategies for positioning time and space due to different histories and realities, but China is facing the situation of "unreliable", "no longer possible" and "unable to hide". At this point, there is no choice but to gain the necessary time and space but to rise up and fight.
For now, China must also balance time and space. China can no longer ignore the squeeze of its space by other countries, and needs to resolutely defend the sovereignty of its surrounding territories. For example, if the Taiwan issue is not resolved, or the South China Sea islands are lost, it will seriously squeeze China's strategic space, restrict national security and national development, and make it difficult to talk about rejuvenation and rise.
In addition, China should take the initiative to open up a new strategic time and space. The deepening of Sino-Russian relations and Russia's initiative to invest in the South Kuril Islands have brought new opportunities for China to expand its strategic space. At the same time, the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan is also an opportunity for China to launch a new strategy. However, the development of strategic time and space should no longer be centered on Europe and the United States, but should focus on the peripheral countries and regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America and get rid of dependence on the West.
In this process, China needs to use its strength to jointly contain its forces. Current instability in the United States threatens to diminish its threat to China. China needs to take a more strategic view, unite all possible anti-imperialist and anti-hegemonic forces, and act as the core force of the united front.
In short, the core of China's time and space for national rejuvenation lies in being proactive and enterprising, seizing opportunities, strengthening deterrence, and achieving strategic autonomy. With the spirit of struggle, pursue development, and create the necessary time and space with strength and courage. On this basis, China will surely achieve greater great rejuvenation!
Summary: Against the backdrop of the Taliban's rapid occupation of the Afghan capital, the acceleration of American decline and the rise of China are the focus of attention. Despite the war in Afghanistan, China seized the opportunity at a critical moment. Western hegemonic blocs are seen as the biggest threat to China because of their strength and willingness
It has an advantage in stopping China's rise. The actions of Western hegemonic groups are becoming more and more intense, and they are focusing on squeezing China's time and space. However, China has long recognized this challenge. How to resist the suppression of hegemonic groups in the context of the "three approximations" has become an important proposition facing China.
First of all, China has entered the stage of "competition". This does not mean that there has not been "contention" in the past, nor that there is only "contention" in the future and no other choice. However, in the current situation facing China, "struggle" has become the key. At this time, it is no longer possible to "rely on", no longer "give", no longer "hide", China has become the number one opponent of the hegemonic group, and must rise up to gain the time and space for development and rise.
Second, China needs to seek both time and space. China can no longer ignore the challenges of other countries to its territorial sovereignty, and should firmly defend its maritime rights and interests, especially important strategic spaces such as the South China Sea. In reality, China has shown positive efforts, such as safeguarding Taiwan's integrity and holding on to its territory in the South China Sea. Only by ensuring that time and space are both available can China take the initiative in international competition.
In addition, China needs to unite a variety of containment forces to use its strength to fight. The U.S. retreat from Afghanistan underscores its constrained side, and China should actively seek cooperation with other countries to form a broader united front. In the struggle against the hegemonic clique, China can take the initiative to unite with various anti-hegemonic and anti-imperialist forces, play its role as the backbone, and achieve greater strategic gains.
However, external factors alone are not enough. China must also take the initiative to open up a new strategic time and space. The recent deepening of Sino-Russian relations, as well as Russian investments in the South Kuril Islands, have created new strategic opportunities for China. China should also reshape its strategic dependence and focus on the peripheral countries and regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America, so as to reduce its dependence on the West and open up new development paths.
Finally, China needs to fight back strongly and establish a deterrent. China must avoid both war and respond to possible provocations. By flexing its strength and creating a deterrent, China can deter potential conflict and ensure national security and stability. If necessary, China should be prepared to deal with local conflicts in order to strive for a longer period of peace and gain more time and space for rejuvenation and rise.
In short, China must be proactive and flexible at this critical moment. The key to confronting the hegemonic group and winning time and space lies in daring to struggle and actively opening up. Only by making continuous efforts and fully integrating resources can China gain greater initiative in global competition and lay a solid foundation for achieving the goal of great rejuvenation.
Summary: At a time when global attention is on the Taliban's seizure of Afghanistan's capital, the decline of the United States and the rise of China are in focus. However, China has seized the opportunities presented by the war in Afghanistan, but it also faces challenges from Western hegemonic blocs. Under this situation, China needs to focus on "struggle", while seeking time and space, uniting various containment forces, opening up new strategic time and space, and fighting back forcefully to achieve the goal of great rejuvenation. In this process, China must be full of fighting spirit and continuous exploration to ensure that it gains greater initiative in global competition.
