Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Attitude of the United States toward China has begun to change subtly. From the initial arrogance that made no one look at it, to the embarrassing pleading after being hung up by China a few times.
And now the United States has begun to re-emphasize the need to maintain stable relations with China, is it because the United States has seen clearly its own mistakes and is determined to cooperate with China to solve the problem? The reason why the United States began to calm down is because in recent years we have gradually shown the United States China's bottom card.
It was only after a few times that the Americans became so calm that they completely abandoned the idea of fighting a full-scale war in favor of petty tentative diplomacy. So what is our bottom card, and why should the United States, which has the world's largest military force, voluntarily abandon the war?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="6" > the bottom card of the economic and industrial system, and the limit countered the pre-war blockade of the United States</h1>
Assuming that there will be a fire between China and the United States, then the US government will lay out the first strategic goal early in the early stages of the war, that is, to cut off all of China's foreign trade channels, disrupt China's resource export and import, and weaken China's wartime war preparedness production force in advance.
But is the consistent approach of the United States really useful to China, and how much will it be repressive of China's economic and industrial systems after cutting off external sources? As the basis for supporting hot wars, if you can't maintain a strong internal circulation ability, you can easily be trapped by the enemy's "warm boiled frog" offensive.
A key element of China's economy that cannot be ignored is the rapid development of basic industries after our accession to the WTO, which has made China the world's largest industrial country by volume.
We not only have a grasp of all the processes of military equipment from top to bottom, but also can urgently develop a large number of basic industrial materials such as copper and iron in wartime, which is enough to greatly offset the external blockade effect of the United States, so the pre-war extreme blockade of the United States will not affect China's internal wartime resource replenishment.
Conversely, if there were no Chinese basic products exported to the United States during the war, whether the United States could maintain the basic operation internally became a big problem. When China's world factory production is reduced during the war, the international price of materials will inevitably rise sharply, and the Hollowed Out United States will have to buy, which will make the already unoptimistic dollar situation worse, and make the entire United States poorer and poorer.
But China is different, not only do we have the world's first manufacturing capacity, but also because the types of manufacturing are too rich, indirectly also have the world's strongest internal digestion capacity, the United States wants to destroy China's trading system before the war plan is difficult to find a breakthrough.
One point is very contradictory, that is, if the US government does not carry out a limit blockade and strikes at China's industrial economic system in advance, China and the United States will definitely enter the stage of fighting for consumption, and the United States will become more and more uncomfortable. A large number of basic parts of the American industry do not have their own production lines, and They are counting on China for OEM work, and even the coatings of the F35 fighters need to be purchased from China.
Once China and the United States enter a tug-of-war, it is difficult for the US military losses to be replenished in the first place, often the planes shoot down one less, and the battleship sinks one less ship. Unless the United States has the confidence to defeat China overwhelmingly in a short period of time, the United States will lose if it drags on.
However, judging from the recent statements made by the Biden administration, it is clear that the United States is running out of confidence in trying to fight. The important bottom card of China's economic and industrial system has been thoroughly explored by Americans. They know that they are both difficult to play and completely inexhaustible on China's turf, which is the biggest headache for the United States. As for why the United States has understood that it is difficult to swing on China's turf, let's carefully analyze and analyze it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="3" > the hard truth of a big country: China's military bottom card</h1>
The confrontation area between China and the United States is likely to be dominated by China's coastal areas, and whether we can build a strong navy is the top priority for us. From the early days of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, when the United States blocked China's liberation of Taiwan, we understood how important it was to build a strong naval fleet. And those dotted islands and reefs in the South China Sea are also our land where we have little land, and we need the people's navy to guard it day and night.
That being said, the development of the Chinese Navy is not without hardship. Before entering the 21st century, we were all 30 years behind the mainstream Western navies. During the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996, the United States only sent one aircraft carrier to choke us, and then China also gritted its teeth and bought 4 Hyundai-class destroyers from Russia to support the façade.
But even the Modern class, which is very advanced in our eyes, is not at all an opponent of the American Aegis ship, and the gap between China and the United States navy at that time was so large. The United States has asserted that it will take at least 30-50 years for China to build a mainstream navy.
Unexpectedly, China then chose a small-step and fast-paced naval development model, did not choose a large number of installations, but continuously improved and upgraded the verification ship, and finally completed the technology research and development of advanced ships in 2010.
It was also in this year that we began to build dumpling-like ships, and in the second half of the year we could launch the naval scale of a medium power almost a year. After another decade, China made the world look stupid, and the world's second navy was built out of thin air by us in a short period of time.
In 2021, China's navy is unprecedentedly large, and the number of various types of ships expected to be in service is "3 aircraft carriers, 3 advanced amphibious assault ships, 8 advanced attack ships, 50 destroyers, 110 frigates, and more than 80 submarines." The size of this level of navy has completely surpassed Russia's Pacific Fleet.
Although the size of the world's navies is less than half that of the U.S. Navy, the size of the Chinese Navy alone has reached 20% of the United States. Do not underestimate this ratio, although the UNITED States aircraft carrier battle group is large, but in order to maintain world hegemony can not be concentrated together, up to 6 ships can go to the Pacific theater.
And the 1,200 kilometers along the mainland coast is an area that the US aircraft carrier does not dare to approach at all, because this is the attack range of the PLAAF. China also has the world's most advanced land-based anti-ship missiles, such as the "aircraft carrier killer", waiting for the United States, and the US Navy wants to get away with it, and can only find opportunities in the farthest reaches of the South China Sea.
Although the enemy is strong, even if the US Navy is five times the size of China, thanks to geopolitical factors, the United States is blessed with unique living space, but the corresponding price is that the United States can only rely on aircraft carrier fleets to achieve global operations. If the US aircraft carrier cannot play its original role, the advanced fighters of the United States will naturally not be able to get the opportunity to play.
In the final analysis, the so-called "littoral combat ship" project in order to bully small countries and weak countries in the later period of the United States has been confirmed by the US Navy to have no practical significance, and things like the Zumwalt class, which are not similar, have dragged down the overall construction speed of the US Navy. At present, the Chinese Navy's masterpiece "0.55 million tons of large drive" is far superior to the performance of the US capital ship "Burke" class.
Think about how arrogantly the United States laughed in the Taiwan Strait region 25 years ago. But time has passed, and the Americans have come to understand that they have lost their qualifications to be wild on China's turf, and it is precisely because China has built a strong people's navy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="8" >if the United States insists on opening fire on China, can we stop it? </h1>
Recently, U.S. Chief of Staff Millie spoke out, and he personally admitted that the United States would never go to war with China. I think China can't stand up to this problem, and as a four-star american general, he should know better than we do. The Pentagon has long since pushed the Sino-US wargame to the point of ruin, and they clearly know that the Chinese military will be able to block it, and the first thing it cannot resist is the United States itself.
So Millikin simply made a donkey downhill and publicly stated that the United States would not go to war with China. According to our words, before the Americans took the shot, everyone tacitly assumed that he was a master, and if he really had two tricks with China, the United States would really be finished.
If someone asks, why is it the United States that cannot stand up to the war between China and the United States, and is China's superiority so great? In fact, this involves the ultimate goal of both sides, China's goal is to protect itself, and the goal of the United States is to maintain the superiority of all aspects, which are two completely different strategic goals.
The purpose of the former is simple, that is, to defend the counterattack, while the latter has too many things to take care of, which also means that there are a lot of constraints. Simply put, it's easier to want to live than to think about how to live smartly.
Americans have always cared about their regional influence, so there are hundreds of overseas military bases, which is an important guarantee of U.S. global hegemony. However, with the united states deploying some military bases in Japan and South Korea alone, the PEOPLE's Liberation Army can give the Americans all "liberation" in the first round of artillery strikes.
Coupled with the fact that there are countless medium-range missiles in China aimed at bases that cannot be hit by rocket artillery, with the united States' several sets of air defense facilities deployed overseas, what is it to intercept China's saturation strike? If the United States loses its military bases deployed around China, it will completely lose its voice in the Asian region.
The inability to intervene in Asia, the future economic center, means that the United States will face chronic death. The complete collapse of Sino-US relations will make the US economic recession super double, and these situations will make the United States lose its inherent advantage before the offensive and indirectly fall from the throne of world hegemony.
As for the idea of the two countries fighting at sea, the United States used two aircraft carrier formations to come to the South China Sea as early as 16 years to try, but even before the US military entered the nine-dash line, we locked the specific position, and finally the US government did not resist the pressure of the PLA's "Dongfeng Express" and directly chose to retreat.
Plainly. The purpose of the United States to deter China through military means is to show its military hegemony to the world, and if it takes the initiative to fight with China and sinks several of its own aircraft carriers, it will indirectly lose its global deterrent, which is a paradox.
It is precisely because China's navy is already strong enough that if the Americans do not fight, hegemony will slowly fall, and if it is fought, hegemony may fall within a day. The US government can only choose not to fight this, and calm down to find another way out. However, it is conceivable that China and the United States are in reality both major powers that legally possess nuclear weapons, and the possibility of direct war is unlikely.
In the past, when we were poor and weak, the United States did not dare to fight, let alone take the initiative to attack when China was strong. Although the United States has been fighting wars over the years, they are all asymmetric wars that bully small countries, which is less significant than the confrontation between major powers.
And China is not alone, behind russia at any time to stare at the United States, Putin some time ago the Pacific Fleet to Hawaii to swing around, the United States is very nervous, after all, the inheritance of the former Soviet Union "North Wind God" of the Pacific Fleet is not vegetarian, claiming that it can "destroy a country in a few minutes."
If the United States presses forward step by step, China and Russia join hands to normalize the Hawaii cruise, I am afraid that the US government will not be able to resist first.
