Today, America's absolute dominance on the international stage rests on four pillars: cutting-edge technology, a strong military, a global cultural export, and a strong dollar. These four factors not only determine the global influence of the United States, but also profoundly shape the actual pattern of the world. By attracting top talents from around the world, the United States actively controls international affairs, using these elites to inject new vitality into the high-tech industry of the United States, strengthen its economic strength, and pursue profits. These profits were reinvested in upgrading military equipment, enhancing the combat power of the US military and consolidating the dollar's position as the global reserve currency. The cultural export of the United States, especially the Hollywood film industry, spread military equipment, values and ideas around the world, attracting outstanding talent, forming a virtuous circle, promoting capital accumulation, and consolidating the hegemonic position of the United States.
Looking back at Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union, and Japan, their industrial levels lagged behind when they became America's "losers." However, industry is crucial to the balanced development of the national economy. If a country's industrial development is slow, other areas will also be dragged down. These four countries are not as powerful as the United States in other areas and have become competitors of the United States. China regards industrial development as the key to development, and after the reform and opening up, China's industrial strength has increased rapidly. In contrast, the industrial systems of the aforementioned four countries are relatively weak. China's rapid rise has alarmed the United States, but the United States has struggled to stop China's development. The industrial system is crucial for a country. After the Second Industrial Revolution, Britain chose to abandon the perfect industrial system and turn to the financial industry. Germany's complete industrial system was severely affected in World War II, and the Soviet Union, despite its strong military strength but insufficient economic strength, eventually disintegrated. In the early days, Japan focused on industry, but turned to real estate, causing the bubble economy to collapse. Unlike these countries, China is relentless in developing its industry to make it go further and better. That makes it impossible for the United States to stop China's rise.
China has always aimed to become an all-round strong country, so it has continued to improve in various fields. China already covers almost all high-tech industries, far beyond low-end and medium-end industries. China's "Made in China 2025" plan aims to challenge the dominance of European and American countries in the field of high-end technology. China has advantages in terms of economic strength and talent pool, and as long as China sets foot in high-end fields, it is expected to make great breakthroughs. According to the United Nations, most of China's young people working in high-tech fields are between the ages of 25 and 35. China in the future will be stronger because of the strength of the younger generation.
