We all know that whether a war or a battle can be won depends on three conditions, that is, time, location, and people. Similarly, whether a country can develop smoothly, whether it can become strong or always remain strong, is also inseparable from the three conditions of time, place, and people. This is what people usually call the national fortune.
So what about China's current national fortunes? In fact, we can observe from the three macro aspects of time, place and people, and we can draw relatively correct conclusions. Today, we mainly compare with the United States the three aspects of time, location, and people, and see which of The Two Countries will have a better national fortune in the future.

There are many aspects of the weather, mainly referring to the impact of the natural environment and climate on human society. If the weather is smooth, it is beneficial to the survival and development of human society, such as the wind and rain are better; if it is not smooth, human society will often encounter natural disasters or plague epidemics, such as unfavorable years and bad luck.
So whether the present celestial time is beneficial or unfavorable to human society. Obviously, due to the emergence of the new crown virus, the current human society is in deep trouble.
It has been more than two years since the new crown virus was discovered in 2019 to the current outbreak, causing a huge disaster to the world. So far, the number of people infected with the new crown virus has exceeded 200 million, and the number of people who have died from the new crown virus is almost 7 million.
In particular, since the sudden outbreak of the mutated Delta virus this year, the world epidemic that has just improved has suddenly become more severe. Taking the United States as an example, the number of single-day infections with new crown in the past few days has reached more than 200,000. The situation in Vietnam is also not good, and Ho Chi Minh City has sent troops to take military control measures against the city.
Even in the case of such a serious epidemic, US politicians are still not good at managing domestic affairs, but have intensified their suppression of China. This perverse approach will have a certain impact on China, but it will accelerate the decline of the United States even more.
The number of confirmed covid-19 cases in the United States has now exceeded 37 million, and the death toll is more than 640,000. The number of confirmed cases and deaths in China is now very small for the United States. Especially through nearly a month of hard work, China has successfully defeated the invasion of the Delta mutation virus, and now the number of indigenous infections in the country is close to zero, and the number of deaths has not increased by one. Even CNN, a pertinent U.S. media outlet, praised: "China may be the first country in the world to control the Dellata virus." ”
It is precisely because of the effectiveness of the fight against the epidemic that China's current overall development is not greatly affected by the new crown epidemic, and is generally orderly and forward. Due to the serious impact of the new crown epidemic in the United States, the United States is currently facing an epidemic crisis, an economic crisis, and incidentally a large social crisis, and the current state of the entire United States should be relatively chaotic.
From this, we can see that in the face of the same unfavorable weather and time, China and the United States have done much better than the United States, which can be described by the word "complete victory". This reflects at least one problem from the side, when faced with a sudden disaster, China's current system is more practical and excellent than that of the United States, in fact, this is the embodiment of a country's comprehensive national strength.
From this, it is not difficult to conclude that China's current "heavenly time" is to surpass the United States. Or, in other words, under the same unfavorable weather conditions, the United States is currently facing far greater difficulties than China.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, geographical advantage - a comparison between China and the United States under geostrategy</h1>
From the time Trump was elected president of the United States, and then to the current President Joe Biden, their policy toward China has been to contain, suppress and contain China.
Especially after Biden entered the White House, he changed Trump's single-handed style of play, and gathered his allies to carry out an unprecedented crackdown and containment on China. So far, China's east, south, and west directions have basically been surrounded by American forces.
In particular, china's East China Sea, Taiwan Sea and South China Sea are complex and extremely prone to military conflicts. In China's southeastern waters, there is the first island chain of the United States, and China's northeast and southeast directions face the Indo-Pacific strategy formed by the United States, Japan, India and Australia, and the U.S.-led Asia-Pacific strategic encirclement. Because of these regions, India, Japan, and the ASEAN countries all have their own interests, and there has always been conflict here. The United States has even more sinister intentions, constantly co-opting these countries in Southeast Asia in an attempt to sow discord between China and its neighboring countries and isolate China from the rest of the world.
Obviously, this geopolitical strategy of the United States is not good for us. However, because we have always made it a top priority to deal with good-neighborly relations around us, so far, with the exception of Japan and South Korea, other countries have said that they will not take sides between the United States and China.
On the one hand that is beneficial to us, China's north is adjacent to Mongolia and Russia, especially Russia, which is highly consistent with China's strategic interests due to the suppression of the United States, and China and Russia have formed a back-to-back strategic alliance. Therefore, our north is relatively safe at present.
In the northwest, due to the implementation of our Belt and Road strategy, the encirclement of China by US forces has been greatly defused. This is a rather strategic move that China can survive in the future, avoiding the greatest danger of China's future belly and back.
Since the United States is basically unaffected by geography and geopolitics, China is temporarily weak compared with the United States in terms of "geographical advantages".
Because of this, we are trying to make up for this shortcoming. In the past 20 years, China has rapidly developed its navy and air force, striving to transform China from a land power into a powerful country on both land and sea, so as to ensure the rights and security of our country's territory, airspace and sea.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, people and - the relationship between the government and society of China and the United States</h1>
China's current system is a socialist system of the people's democratic dictatorship, the people are the masters of their own affairs, the people are the main body of the country, and the interests of the people are the highest interests of the country. Under this system, the relationship between the government and society is the relationship between large government and small society, the government serves the people, is responsible to the people, and the people obey and serve the national development strategy, and profit and benefit from it.
China's current system determines that the relationship between the government and society is blood and water, and the two are interdependent, one prosperous and the other destroyed. Therefore, for China, the people are the jiangshan, and the jiangshan is the people. Looking at the world, why is it that only the Chinese government, in the face of the new crown epidemic, will not hesitate to use its national strength to strictly prevent and control it, even if it costs a lot of money, it must ensure the safety of the lives and properties of the Chinese people. This is determined by the nature of the Chinese social system.
The current system in the United States is a capitalist society in which the bourgeoisie is the master, and the government mainly serves capital. Under this system, the relationship between the government and society is the relationship between small government and large society, the impact of government actions on the people is relatively small, the government's behavior revolves around capital, and the American people are in a relatively broad living atmosphere.
It is precisely because of this that the transitional "pan-liberal" lifestyle of the American people makes the government's binding force on the behavior of the American people relatively small. As we all know, since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in the United States, in order to enjoy their freedom, the American people have put individual freedom above the interests of the entire country, have no collective concept and national consciousness, simply ignore the attitude of the US government, and do not cooperate with the US government to take various measures. As a result, although the United States is the country with the strongest national strength, the most sound medical system and the richest medical resources in the world, it is now the country with the worst epidemic in the world. The emergence of this situation is determined by the nature of the American system.
From this point of view, in terms of "people", the relationship between the two governments and society is harmonious, and China is far better than the United States.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >4. Conclusion - China's future can be expected</h1>
Mencius said: "The sky is not as good as the place, and the location is not as good as the people." That is to say, among the three elements of time, place, and people, man and man are the first, which is the most important and crucial factor in determining the outcome of a war, and in the same way, it is also the most important factor in determining whether a country can maintain long-term peace and stability.
At present, compared with China and the United States, China has an absolute advantage in terms of time and time, and in terms of people. In this area of geography, although we are still at a geopolitical disadvantage, we will always stand with the third world countries of the world. The combined advantage of China's population and resources with the world's third world countries is much more obvious than the advantages of the United States over Western countries. Population and resources will be the core elements of a country's long-term development in the future.
Here, I have a basic judgment. Because the United States is affected by the new crown epidemic, the United States is now facing three major crises of the epidemic, economy and society, coupled with the perverse behavior of US politicians, ignoring the serious epidemic in China, but to focus on the current focus on encircling and blocking China, which is completely an inverted approach. As a result, COVID-19 will be a catalyst for America's accelerated decline.
Thanks to China's success in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, even if we stand still, we are still in the direction of progress relative to the serious regression of the United States. Moreover, we are not standing still, our economy is still in positive growth, our government and society as a whole are highly harmonious, and our people have a strong sense of patriotism and thought. This is something that the United States simply cannot compare.
The hearts of the people are united, and Tarzan moves. As long as the Chinese the people are united in one heart and one mind, and under the correct leadership of the Communist Party of China, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome and no enemies that cannot be defeated.
China can be expected! The Chinese nation will be revived!
