«——【Preamble】】 ——»
Recently, China-US relations have continued to deteriorate due to a series of complex reasons, and the contradictions between the two sides in various fields have been escalating, and tensions are on the verge of eruption.
On the military front, in particular, US warships frequently carry out so-called "freedom of navigation" operations in the waters around China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea, brazenly provoking and exerting pressure.
It is an attempt to undermine regional peace and stability and disrupt the normal international order by means of military deterrence. Such risky and irresponsible behavior.
It has become a new tipping point in the confrontation between China and the United States, and has aroused widespread concern and concern in the international community. Let's find out together.
«——【·Hidden Strength·】——»
In the face of the United States' step-by-step pressure and provocations, China has always maintained a high degree of strategic determination, calmness and rationality, persisted in resolving differences through dialogue and consultation, properly managed risks, and worked hard to safeguard the overall situation of China-US relations and regional peace and stability.
At the same time, China firmly defends national sovereignty and territorial integrity and will never accept any form of external interference or threats.
No matter how complex the situation is and no matter how severe the challenges, China has the confidence, ability and means to deal with all risks and challenges, and resolutely safeguard its core interests and development rights and interests.
Although the U.S.-China relationship is at a delicate and sensitive stage, it is worth noting that the United States has never really taken military action directly against China.
The reasons for this are intriguing and worthy of in-depth analysis and discussion. Some outside observers generally believe that China has been deliberately hiding its true military strength, and the outside world has only seen the tip of the iceberg of China's military strength, and is far from touching the whole picture of China's military modernization.
According to this view, every time China develops new weapons and equipment, it will keep it secret from the outside world for a period of time until the time is ripe for it to be officially unveiled.
It often brings great shock and shock to the outside world, because no one can fully grasp and predict the true level and development potential of China's military strength.
However, the suggestion that China is deliberately hiding its power is inaccurate and could even be a misreading. In fact, any sovereign state in the process of developing new types of weapons and equipment.
It is a basic military common sense and common practice to take necessary measures to keep secrets and block relevant information from the outside world.
Its purpose is nothing more than to avoid causing unnecessary speculation and doubts from the outside world, prevent technology leakage, and protect its own military security.
Under normal circumstances, only after the new type of equipment has completed its research and development tests, has been formally installed in the troops, and has formed a certain combat effectiveness, will it be gradually disclosed and made public to the outside world.
Therefore, in the process of developing its military strength, China has not deliberately hidden anything, but has only steadily pushed forward the modernization drive in strict accordance with the established procedures and steps.
Objectively speaking, it is an indisputable fact that China possesses nuclear weapons. As one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China is also recognized as a nuclear power in the world.
However, in the military game, it is not only China's nuclear arsenal itself that is really fearful and troublesome for the United States, but China's unique "anti-access" strategy.
The so-called "anti-access" strategy refers to the development of various high-tech weapons and equipment to build a complete set of all-round and three-dimensional offensive and defensive systems and form an area denial capability.
In this way, it will effectively deter and contain the enemy's military operations in China's surrounding areas, so that it will not be able to form a direct and realistic threat to the Chinese mainland.
This strategy poses a great challenge and deterrent to the United States. According to the analysis and judgment of some British military experts, for a long period of time, China's "anti-access" capability mainly relied on submarines and other maritime forces, through covert maneuvers, surprise attacks, ambushes, and other asymmetric combat means.
It will contain the maritime superiority of the US military. However, with the rapid progress of China's military science and technology and the continuous installation of new equipment.
China has gradually built an all-domain combat system that integrates various forces such as unmanned aerial vehicles, anti-satellite weapons, early warning aircraft, aircraft carriers, and anti-ship ballistic missiles.
If the US military rashly launches an attack on China, they will have to face intensive strikes from all directions and in all fields, including its command and control system, early warning and detection system, weapon platform, etc.
It is highly likely that the key node will be devastating at the beginning of the battle, and thus paralyzed, incapacitated, and forced to withdraw from the battlefield.
«——【Talent is the core·】——»
In its "anti-access" strategy, China attaches particular importance to the role of information warfare. In the event of a military conflict, China is fully capable of using powerful electronic countermeasures and cyber attack methods at the first opportunity.
Cut off and paralyze key information nodes such as the US military's command and control system, early warning radar, and reconnaissance and surveillance satellites. At that time, the various combat units of the US military will not be able to share information and coordinate operations, and the entire battlefield system will fall into chaos, and it will be impossible to organize effective offensive operations at all.
And this is precisely China's killer weapon that the US military is most afraid of and worried about. Of course, advanced weaponry is important, but history and experience tell us that the key factor that really determines the outcome of a war is people.
It is precisely because of the revolutionary heroic spirit of generations of Chinese soldiers who are brave and good at fighting and treating death as if they were home, and precisely because of the invincible patriotic force of hundreds of millions of Chinese people who share the same hatred for the enemy.
Only then will we be able to defeat the strong with the weak and create one miracle after another that has attracted the attention of the world in the epic battle of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and defending the homeland and the country.
This precious spiritual wealth is the source of the Chinese nation's unceasing and invincible strength.
In recent years, whenever China's sovereignty and territorial integrity have been threatened and provoked by external forces.
All the Chinese people have always been able to display patriotic enthusiasm and national self-confidence with one heart and one mind, and resolutely struggle against all acts of splitting the motherland and undermining reunification.
Defend the country's core interests to the death. This kind of patriotic belief, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, has become the spiritual pillar and moral bottom line of the Chinese nation's life and death.
No one can shake and shake. It is precisely because of this clear understanding that the United States has no choice but to act cautiously and think twice before acting in its China strategy.
«——[Not afraid of war but against war]——»
History has repeatedly proved that the Chinese people are a peace-loving nation, and we never take the initiative to provoke wars, let alone wantonly expand.
However, if other countries provoke and provoke, we will never be afraid to do so. The Chinese nation has gone through hardships and has never been easy to bully.
China has experienced too many turbulent and war-torn years, and we know how deep the suffering of the war has been for the country and its people.
It is precisely for this reason that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we cherish the hard-won peace even more. Peace is where the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation lie, and it is also the goal that we are pursuing with all our might.
In China's modern history, we have twice defeated the mighty United States, once on the Korean battlefield and the other in Vietnam.
These flames of war have made the Chinese understand that as long as we are willing to shed blood and sacrifice, no enemy can step on our heads.
However, we are by no means militants. Although it has a strong military, China has never abused force, let alone vainly attempted to expand its territory or territory.
Our core national policy has always been peaceful development and building a prosperous and strong homeland in a peaceful environment. Some people say that China is no longer the poor and weak country it used to be.
Should become somewhat "aggressive" domineering. But this is clearly a misunderstanding of China's strategic determination. Strong national power is only to ensure national security, not to threaten other countries.
We hope to live in harmony with all countries in the world, but we will never allow any country to wantonly provoke China. Therefore, peace will remain the focus of China's development.
But if the situation is critical, we are not afraid of any war. As long as the situation forces China to use force, then we will go all out.
Resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The dignity of the motherland is inviolable, and no one should underestimate the courage and determination of the sons and daughters of China.
«——【·Conclusion·】——»
We have advanced weapons and equipment, but we do not rely on force to dominate the world; We have strong anti-access capabilities, but we are willing to get along with other countries.
We have defeated foreign invasions, but we have taken peaceful development as our country's fundamental position.
"Listen to the voice of my strong country and watch the scenery of my prosperous world".
Today, with China's rapid rise, we have enough confidence and strength to defend the country's core interests.
No challenge can intimidate us, and no difficulty can stop us from moving forward. China's strength is not for hegemony, but for peace.
China's development is not for confrontation, but for cooperation. We sincerely hope that, through our unremitting efforts, we will make greater contributions to the cause of peace and development of mankind.
Let us join hands and work together to build a beautiful world of lasting peace and common prosperity! On the road of national rejuvenation and in the journey of world peace, China will always be a force to be trusted and relied on!
