The wrath of a great power destroys the world and destroys the world. As far as the three super-military powers of China, the United States, and Russia are concerned, every major development in the field of national defense and military often triggers a chain reaction; as early as the Cold War, the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union plunged the whole world into a panic of a nuclear war.
In recent years, from the perspective of global security and stability, China, the United States and Russia have been seeking dialogue and cooperation on the arms control and non-proliferation consultation mechanism. However, the United States, which has been saying that it wants to restrain each other and develop peacefully, has been busy forming an "anti-China alliance" and targeting China everywhere. Not long ago, at the NATO summit, the 32 NATO countries led by United States openly threatened China and did not allow China to take over Taiwan by force. In the face of aggressive US and Western countries, China has also launched a full-scale counterattack. Recently, China officially decided to suspend a new round of arms control and non-proliferation consultations.
From the perspective of dialogue between the Chinese and US militaries, it is precisely because of the unforgiving nature of the United States that high-level exchanges between China and the United States have been affected, and exchanges between the two militaries have been suspended for a time. Since last year, United States has repeatedly requested the resumption of the dialogue mechanism in order to ease relations between the two militaries. United States In the second half of last year, Blinken and other high-level United States visited China, and Sino-US relations warmed up slightly.
However, after China expressed its sincerity, the United States did not respect China's sovereignty, dignity and core interests, continued to collude with the Taiwan authorities, and even sold arms to Taiwan on many occasions. In addition, for the purpose of deterring China from arms sales, United States rally allies such as Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines to continue to conduct joint exercises around the mainland. In this regard, the Chinese side, which has no patience, has finally made up its mind to suspend the new round of arms control and non-proliferation consultations.
Some people will ask whether the suspension of a new round of arms control and non-proliferation consultations means that China and the United States will officially enter the arms race. Obviously, this is unrealistic, because China is not a United States, and China, which is strong but not hegemonic, has always pursued a national defense policy of a defensive nature, and has never learned United States to use military force with all its might. The reason why we have suspended the new round of arms control and non-proliferation consultations is to develop our national defense and military forces at our own pace in order to cope with the increasingly complex international situation. After all, it is necessary to be hard to strike iron, and the reason why United States does not dare to act rashly against the mainland is because we have a strong military force. We will not compete with any country in times of peace, but we will not sit idly by in the face of provocation and aggression.
In fact, even if the Sino-US arms race is really launched, there is no complete certainty that it will be able to gain the upper hand with the current United States background. Although United States is the world's largest military power, it has been slow to upgrade its weapons and equipment for many years, coupled with the current high debt of United States, the dollar crisis continues to ferment, and the funds invested in national defense are seriously insufficient. On the other hand, the mainland's current military spending is only one-fifth of that of United States, and there is still a lot of potential waiting to be tapped.
In the long run, peace and stability are the aspirations of the peoples of all countries in the world. As nuclear and military powers, China and the United States are likely to trigger a series of serious consequences if they lose the constraints of arms control and non-proliferation mechanisms. Especially judging from the current trend of the United States presidential election, Trump is likely to return to the White House. Earlier, he publicly stated that the United States should focus on dealing with China's challenges in the future. It can be concluded that if Trump wins the election, the new United States administration will inevitably accelerate the arms race, which in turn will provoke more regional tensions to escalate. As the chain reaction ferments, more and more countries simultaneously increase their investment in armaments, and the probability of the outbreak of World War III will become higher and higher.
Fundamentally, China felt the pressure and threat from the Western camp before finally making the decision to suspend the new round of arms control and non-proliferation consultations. The issue of national sovereignty and core national interests is non-negotiable, and there is no possibility of concession and submission. Since the United States has taken the lead in showing its sword, China's decision can be seen as a warning. As the real destroyer of world peace, the United States has gradually pushed Sino-US relations to the brink of collapse. In the face of threats, China will not compromise on issues involving national sovereignty and territorial integrity. It's still the same sentence, if you want to fight, then fight!
