Fang's media also carried a large-scale negative propaganda campaign against the Soviet Union, revealing the corruption of the Soviet economy, social injustice, and political tyranny. This made the Soviet population suspicious and dissatisfied with their country, further shaking the Soviet ideology.
Second, the United States put pressure on the Soviet Union through economic means, which made the Soviet economy in trouble. In the early 1980s, the United States began a series of economic sanctions that restricted Soviet exports and imports, causing the Soviet Union's financial situation to plummet. At the same time, the United States actively supported the opposition forces in the Soviet Union, providing them with economic aid and political support, further weakening the rule of the Soviet government.
Third, the arms race imposed a huge economic burden on the Soviet Union. In order to compete with the United States, the Soviet Union had to increase its military investment, which led to the deterioration of the country's financial situation. The United States, on the other hand, gradually overwhelmed the Soviet Union in the arms race through technological and economic superiority, making it no longer able to keep pace.
Second, whether the United States will repeat the collapse of China
Although the collapse of the Soviet Union gave China some warning, I don't think the United States will repeat the collapse of China. First of all, there are many differences between China and the Soviet Union economically, politically and militarily. In the past few decades, China has made tremendous development achievements, greatly improved its economic strength and greatly improved people's living standards. Unlike the Soviet Union, China's economic foundation is more solid, and the core values of socialism have a wide degree of recognition in Chinese society.
Second, China has learned the lessons of the collapse of the Soviet Union and has taken a series of measures to prevent similar crises. China's adherence to its own development path, strengthening the leadership of the Party, promoting economic transformation and reform, improving people's living standards, and maintaining social stability are all effective means for China to combat similar crises.
Finally, China's position in international affairs is also different from that of the Soviet Union. China has actively participated in global governance and put forward a series of important initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, which have received positive response and support from the international community. Through cooperation with other countries, China has strengthened its influence and international status, which also provides China with protection against external pressure.
Third, how China should respond to the challenge
While I don't think the U.S. will completely repeat the collapse of China, we can't take it lightly. The challenges facing China remain, and we need to be prepared to deal with them.
First of all, we must strengthen the construction of national ideology, adhere to the core socialist values, and enhance the people's recognition and confidence in China's path. Consolidate social stability and unity by improving people's sense of gain and well-being.
Second, we must strengthen our economic strength and scientific and technological innovation capabilities, promote high-quality economic development, and enhance national competitiveness. By increasing infrastructure construction, improving people's living standards, strengthening scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and ensuring the sustainability of China's economy.

By strengthening multilateral cooperation, safeguarding the international order and rules, we will strive for more opportunities and space for China's development. At the same time, we should also take the initiative to participate in global governance, promote the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, and make positive contributions to world peace and stability.
