Recently, the United States has frequently taken high-pressure response measures at many levels, including politics, economy, and security. This phenomenon reveals the tensions between China and the United States, as well as the fierce global competition. This article will analyze the underlying motivations for the US decision.
Yellen warned Blinken
Recently, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen issued a serious warning to the mainland about the role of Chinese companies in the Russia-Ukraine dispute, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on allies to be vigilant about China's deep involvement in the Russian military's industrial complex through the NATO foreign ministers' meeting, a move that shows the United States' attempt to limit China's international competitiveness and put it in a difficult situation.
According to the Wall Street Journal, in the current context, Russia has introduced a large number of nitrocellulose, of which supplies from China account for a large proportion. The close relationship between China and Russia in this area has raised global concerns and speculation about their relationship, while the United States has seized the opportunity to pressure China to interfere with Russia, but this strategy has demonstrated its complex role in geopolitical change.
U.S.-China military game
The armed conflict between the mainland and the United States continues. According to recent US reports, the defense departments of the two countries have conducted joint naval and air exercises and held close consultations on military and maritime affairs. This not only reveals the United States' misgivings about China's military strength, but also highlights its need to maintain its regional security leadership.
Recently, there has been renewed online attention to the South China Sea issue, especially the joint exercises between Philippine servants and the United States, Japan and Australia. However, the Chinese military has stepped up joint naval and air defense patrols in the past two weeks, clearly expressing its determination to maintain regional peace and stability in the South China Sea. No matter how external parties such as the Philippines, the United States, and the strategic relationship between China and the United States change, the risk of war in the South China Sea is gradually increasing.
Economic sanctions and trade pressures In addition to military strategy, U.S. oppression of China is more focused on the economic dimension. US President Joe Biden's Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, for example, has repeatedly questioned China's manufacturing overoutput while urging China to slow the pace of expansion in the new energy sector. She also called on China to cut off aid to Russia and Iran and limit the scope of operations in the South China Sea.
The move is intended to weaken the mainland's position in the global economy and suppress China with sanctions and trade restrictions. Despite pressure from the international community, the continent, the world's second-largest economy, has shown tenacity and self-confidence.
Sun Tzu's Art of War and CountermeasuresThe United States frequently uses the technique of "making something out of nothing" in the Art of War, especially against China. These include creating information confusion and manipulating public opinion in an attempt to subvert global perceptions of China and influence decision-making. It is worth noting, however, that China has found a way out of the deadlock, demonstrating firm determination and strong military deterrence.
In the face of unwarranted provocations by the US, China has resolutely adopted a counterattack strategy: deepening strategic cooperation with Russia and other friendly countries, fully mobilizing the resources and potential of all parties in China to enhance its international discourse and influence, and resolutely safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nanhai Zhudao and its territorial waters.
Future Direction and Thinking In the face of the complex and changing global situation, China-US relations are under severe pressure and challenges. It is crucial to properly handle the potential contradictions between the two countries and prevent the incident from deteriorating into an uncontrollable stage. We hope that both sides will find an effective solution through communication and consultation with reason and sincerity. Only in this way can we add more impetus to world peace, harmony and prosperity.
In-depth research has shown that "creating out of thin air" and "combining rigidity and softness" strategies can only produce short-term results, and will not help sustained victory. In order to achieve true win-win results, we need to build a new type of international relations based on the principles of respect and equality.
