Text: There is material in the big core
Edit|Big core has material
Since the normalization of Sino-US relations, although there have been conflicts from time to time and even a vigorous trade war, there has never been a substantive armed conflict, and a delicate peace has been maintained for three or four decades.
But relations between the United States and the former Soviet Union, or today's Russia, are tense. Needless to say, the United States brought down the Soviet Union, and today it is even more instigating the Russian-Ukrainian war in an effort to continue to drag Russia down.
Why is it that the mainland, like Russia, is a country that does not deal with the United States, but the United States has constant friction with Russia, but it has nothing to do with the mainland, even if there are discords from time to time, it has never broken through the last layer of defense.
There are complex international factors behind this. What is certain is that the delicate balance in the U.S.-China relationship is not just the effort of one country, but the joint balance between China and the United States, and even other countries such as Russia and Japan.
In 2020, Obama published a book dedicated to China-US relations, in which he explained in detail his views on the peaceful development of China and the United States.
Today, we will talk about why China-US relations can maintain balance and peace in the face of constant conflicts.
Delicate conflicts
We all know that there are many contradictions and conflicts between China and the United States: the rise of the mainland has weakened the strength of the United States, and the policies of the United States have hindered the development of the mainland.
But in fact, there are many countries in the world that have contradictions with the United States, and the mainland is only one of them, and it is not the most conspicuous one.
The hatred between Russia and the United States cannot be explained in a day or two, and the United States made a lot of efforts when the Soviet Union collapsed. Russians are very resentful of the United States, and the United States also regards Russia as a thorn in its side.
No, without speculating on a word, Russia will directly start a fight with Ukraine. Some people may ask what does the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine have to do with the United States?
You must know that a large part of the reason why Russia decided to send troops to Ukraine is because Ukraine wants to surrender to the United States and join NATO, and the United States has always had an ambiguous attitude and wants to refuse and welcome!
It doesn't matter what happens to Ukraine itself, the problem is that Ukraine cannot fall to the United States, otherwise Russia's doorstep will be in danger.
Therefore, although it is Ukraine that fights with Russia, they still take advantage of the Russian-Ukrainian war to secretly play a game between Russia and the United States. That's why the United States has been supporting Ukraine and doesn't want the war to stop.
It can be said that part of the reason why Sino-US relations have been peaceful for so long is that Russia has blocked most of the US firepower in front.
Cooperation and Interests
In addition to Russia charging ahead, another reason why the mainland and the United States can develop peacefully is the mainland's national policy orientation.
The mainland has always been a country that loves and advocates peace. At all times, peace is valued on the mainland. As long as its own national interests and sovereignty are not harmed, the mainland has always been a staunch "pacifist" in international affairs.
Unlike the mainland, Russia feels more threatened and has taken a tougher policy. Therefore, when it came to confronting the United States, they did not hesitate to choose war.
And the United States, although it also wants to suppress the mainland and sit firmly on the throne of the world's first, but the conditions do not allow it.
First, because the mainland is getting stronger and stronger, they can't trip the continent in a moment and a half. The second is because China and the United States have more and more common interests.
At the beginning of the 21 st century, both China and the United States have made great efforts. However, the mainland has made great efforts to develop itself, and the United States has made great efforts to intervene in other countries. The wars in Afghanistan and Syria are the most direct evidence of the evil deeds of the United States.
But what do the different choices bring?
Just over 10 years after the new century, the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the United States because of the exhaustive use of military force and the emptiness of the treasury, causing a serious economic decline and a financial collapse for a time. At that time, the continent was in full swing, with GDP soaring from $1 trillion in 2000 to $8.54 trillion in 2012.
At that time, the United States was almost half frightened, after all, the US economy and finance are the guiding indicators of the world, and if the US financial sector collapses and the world economy collapses with a bang, then the trouble will be great.
Under the crisis, US Treasury Secretary Paulson actually came to the mainland to meet the prime minister in person, hoping that the mainland would lend a helping hand. As long as the mainland can buy a sufficient amount of US Treasury bonds to provide the United States with a liquid flow of funds, the crisis can be resolved.
Perhaps this bowing of the head means that the United States has realized the importance of peaceful development and tasted the bitter fruits of what it once planted.
In 2001, the President of the United States had just announced that he would take a hard line against China as a competitor. It didn't take long for the 911 incident to break out, but he had to change his opinion.
After the 911 incident, it was the mainland that extended a helping hand regardless of its past suspicions and assisted the United States in the international anti-terrorism cause and financial cooperation, which gave the United States a taste of sweetness.
At the same time, the mainland has spared no effort to express its thoughts to the whole world: We will resolutely follow the path of peaceful development and will not be as barbaric as Germany and Japan in the past, nor will we be as radical as the disintegrated Soviet Union.
Both the mainland's efforts and the experience of the United States have taught the United States that the importance of peaceful development outweighs malicious competition.
In this context, in 2005, the US Deputy Secretary of State stated that there would be more cooperation with the mainland, hoping that the mainland would become a "responsible stakeholder".
Sino-US relations in the new era
In recent years, the mainland has still adhered to peaceful development, but the United States has made small moves from time to time. They still think that the rise of the mainland will hinder them and engage in a big trade war.
However, the failure of the United States to obstruct them again and again undoubtedly tells them that the continent today is not something they can intervene in if they want to. Therefore, they also change their "strategy" from time to time.
In today's China-US relations, conflict and cooperation coexist, and contradictions and interests coexist.
The mainland will neither despise or suppress the United States, nor will it flatter the United States or deliberately pander to it. The United States naturally realized that blind suppression was not conducive to its own development, and it adopted a combination of rigid and soft means.
In 2022, the National Security Strategy released by the United States has just announced that the mainland is the biggest competitor and political challenge of the United States, and even said that the mainland has the strength and ambition to reshape international affairs.
The United States also took the trouble to list in the report a series of methods to confront the mainland.
At the same time, US President and official Antony Blinken also pledged to support the mainland's stability and development and have no intention of obstructing or encircling the mainland.
Naturally, we know that the United States cannot take all its words, but this also reveals a message that at least so far, the United States still retains some possibilities for peaceful development and win-win cooperation.
epilogue
China-US relations are the focus of national and social concern, and can even determine the direction of the world situation. No matter how the world economy develops, we hope that the United States will abandon the Cold War mentality, engage in healthy competition with the mainland, and not deliberately isolate and suppress the mainland.
I also hope that in the next 30 years, the mainland and the United States will continue to get along in peace and quiet.
