Examples: Opium War, Second Opium War, Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China. (expansion: content, meaning)
Summary: The above examples fully reflect the lesson that backwardness will lead to beatings, and tell us not to forget the national humiliation and revitalize China.
China East China Sea Pressure Line, China South China Sea Pressure Line and China TPP Pressure Line are the three major international pressure lines that China is currently facing. Behind the three major pressure lines, of course, the United States and Japan are at work. As the initiator, although the interests of the United States and Japan are different, there is no doubt that they will suppress China and then make a quick decision.
For its own financial and trade interests, the United States does not want to fall out directly with China alone. For the American economy, without the carrot of China, it would really be impossible. Especially in the post-financial crisis era, American trade growth, employment and consumption growth are still in the uncertain bottoming stage. However, this does not mean that the United States will let China spit everywhere. It is the strategic goal of the United States to contain China and make China bow like the Japanese. But China's "self-employed" plot is too heavy. After more than ten years of running-in between China and the United States, the blueprint for G2 to rule the world was finally stillborn.
It is actually a superficial imagination to say that China and the United States cannot be integrated because of the great differences in values or systems. The fundamental interests of China and the United States cannot be integrated, and China and the United States cannot screw their wallets together. This is the essence of the problem. It is impossible for the United States to share the global financial dominance with China, especially the monetary system and the status of investment banks-financial securities; Similarly, it is impossible for China to share its monetary freedom and financial freedom with the United States, because these are the most basic rights of the central government of China. Theoretically speaking, the integration of interests between China and the United States is the most incredible thing in the world. If you think that one day, China and the United States will integrate their highest interests into a G2, what will it feel like? At that time, all mankind will see that Uncle Sam will pry the whole earth and the global economy with the longest and thickest lever in the world. If this scene really appears, it is estimated that even God will go crazy. Although the integration of China and the United States is so absurd, there are still people who spare no effort to make such a guess.
Some people say that the US-Japan alliance is aimed at China. Although this is a fact, it is not the whole problem. The real situation in Japan is similar to that in China in 1970s. Without embracing the United States, China will lose its national dignity. The lifeless depressed economy alone is enough for the Japanese. Whether it is expedient or not, the Japanese devils have to hug the thick legs of the American devils now, otherwise they really don't have a strong sense of security. People say that the United States has narrowed the distance between China and Russia. In fact, I hope this will happen in Europe, especially in old Europe. The United States provoked the conflict between Europe and Russia, which was a major plunder of the interests of Europe and Russia, and letting China and Russia join forces against the United States and Japan was also a silent weapon for old Europe to retaliate against the United States. Therefore, you can always see that the European Union, which is dominated by old Europe, will always lend a helping hand to China at the critical moment of the strategic interest game between China and the United States and Japan. This is a game of interests among world powers, and it is purely a reasonable collision of strategic interests.
In short, China is now facing the pressure line between the United States and Japan in the East China Sea, the pressure line between Vietnam and the Philippines encouraged by the United States and Japan, and the TPP pressure line dominated by the United States and Japan in the global trading system. Although the TPP round has not been negotiated and may not be negotiated at the end of August, the TPP pressure will not die because of Obama's failure. The confrontation between China and the United States and Japan has become a cruel gladiator that never ends in the world, and it is also the main venue for the duel of strategic interests all over the world. In the second level, there is also a competition between Europe, Russia and the United States, but it is still a Sanda competition under the chaotic and unstable wrestling relationship. Sometimes there are small fists between Europe and Russia that are not out of control. Nevertheless, these two boxing matches have become the basic pattern of the world under static conditions. However, the undercurrent is surging, and two other equally cruel boxing matches are also being held in secret, that is, China and Japan are also approaching in secret, so as to offset the uneasiness brought by the extraterritorial pressure of the United States to the region. In other words, the triangular relationship between China, the United States and Japan also tends to be balanced and interactive. After all, China and Japan share common interests and are also concentrated in the fields of trade and investment. Another interesting triangular relationship is the triangular relationship between China, Russia and Japan. In this triangular relationship, Russia has special freedom to act at will, which makes Sino-Japanese relations more confusing, and the United States will feel even more confused.
The interaction between the two major powers makes the world situation more unpredictable, especially China involves almost all the triangular relations, which makes it more difficult for China to make decisions when facing the three major pressure lines around it. Although the three major pressure lines around China seem to be caused by the US-Japan alliance, they actually involve Europe and Russia and their interactive games. China can play idle cards first in Europe, then in North Korea and South Korea, then in Sino-Japanese relations and between Australia and New Zealand and China, and finally in the Middle East. As for Russia, it is a good card now, but we need to be alert to the comeback after the card change. Sino-Russian relations may be the only major power relationship in China's foreign relations that is more important than Sino-US relations, because it is related to China's national security and national security. Those who are harsh on Russia are actually reckless people.
China should take drastic measures to adjust China-DPRK relations as soon as possible, so as not to let Sanpang get into trouble. China should make North Korea feel safe and moderately comfortable, and adjust its security with South Korea. China and South Korea should reach a strategic consensus on North Korea's security and well-being, and China should get rid of the primary understanding of right and wrong when dealing with North Korea. China should re-examine the strategic security system of the peninsula from a strategic perspective, and the economic development and improvement of people's livelihood in North Korea should also be put on the agenda. Besides, it is his own business that North Korea is willing to move, but in terms of national strategic interaction, one more North Korea is harmless to China. With a way out for peninsula security, China will be more active in the East China Sea game with the United States and Japan, and Japan will act according to circumstances, avoiding confrontation with China, South Korea and North Korea at the same time, making it more difficult for Russia and Japan to approach by leaps and bounds, and the loosening of the US-Japan alliance is expected.
China should also vigorously develop the Belt and Road Initiative, expand economic, political and cultural interaction with Islamic countries in the Middle East, especially Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Egypt, and develop economic and strategic ties with India, Pakistan and the South Asian subcontinent. As long as the political and economic ties between China and these countries are in full swing, we don't believe that the global hegemonic interests of the United States based on sea power will not collapse. The United States has faced enough troubles in the Middle East, and China's suffering is enough for the United States to drink a pot.
In order to solve the South China Sea crisis, China should start from the East China Sea, and China should change its existing strategy of seeking changes with Japan, so as to stabilize the East China Sea and compromise Sino-Japanese relations. China should understand the most direct basic truth that the correctness of its strategy toward Japan depends on the degree of pressure on Japan, but if the pressure is not enough, its strategy toward Japan cannot be successful. China should not be afraid to confront the United States and Japan in the East China Sea, especially to adjust its strategic policy towards the Korean Peninsula to a level consistent with the East China Sea strategy. If the East China Sea is tough, there will also be a pattern change on the peninsula that is unfavorable to Japan and the United States. China has enough cards to mix and match the East China Sea-Peninsula strategic game against Japan and the United States. Only in this way can the pressure in the South China Sea be relieved, and the grain in China will no longer belong to China. Today, there is great pressure in the South China Sea, because China has been tricked by the United States and Japan in the East China Sea strategy. Maintaining stability in the East China Sea is exactly what the United States and Japan need. Why should China meet them obediently?
There are no ghosts in the world, but ghosts are in people's hearts. Suffering and disasters are a part of life, and it is not for anyone to tremble. It's impossible to hide. China avoided the East China Sea crisis, but encountered the South China Sea crisis. The crisis at Japan's doorstep was solved by the Japanese themselves, but it was retaliated by the United States in the South China Sea.
TPP can't sit still and wait, and it's not over at all. Because of China's blind concession, the United States has made it clear that it will suppress China. Why can't China also define the global political and economic strategic measures that are unfavorable to the United States? Why can't China take public and decisive revenge on Abe's rude remarks? These are all unwise moves to accumulate disasters by making concessions. Just like 1000 imperial palaces in the late Qing Dynasty, they failed to get the end of destruction. Compromise and concession to the United States and Japan will only lose faith in the world and other countries in the world, and accumulate greater desires and actions that harm China's interests before the United States and Japan. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. China should stand erect and be an upright and normal country like a normal big country, and implement a self-confident and simple national policy of "the enemy will block". So, how come there are so many troubles it asked for?
