talk about strategic determination and other

There are regional and country-based research scholars and some overseas Chinese who have classified the strategic determination that Chinese people often talk about with the concepts of cowardice, concession and fear of struggle. This WeChat public account "Shiquandou" cannot agree with this.

First talk about "stamina" Concentration comes from Buddhist theory. Buddhist The core or general outline of the twelve scriptures is the three studies of "precepts, concentration, and wisdom". Precepts are precepts, concentration is meditation , and wisdom is wisdom. Those who practice Buddhism must "rely rely on precepts to cultivate concentration, develop wisdom based on concentration, and eliminate confusion based on wisdom" in order to "reveal the truth and achieve the right enlightenment."

In Modern Chinese , the word "concentration" has two meanings: one refers to one of the five powers of Buddhism, that is, the meditation power of eliminating troubles and delusions; the other refers to being calm in the face of changes and grasping one's willpower.

According to the theory, the meaning of concentration is nothing more than: People must focus on their own desires and behaviors, not be tempted by profit, not be burdened by fame, not be trapped by emotions, not be blamed by power, and not be disturbed by danger. In the discussion on international relations topics, the so-called "stabilization" often refers to a firm, steady and persistent political force. is reflected in the calm and calm action of on the basis of grasping the laws of development and recognizing the trend of tides.

The word "strategy" is added before the determination, and the pattern will immediately become different, and it will undoubtedly be more noble. In recent years, there have been many words about strategy on the market. For example, when it comes to compromise, some people add strategy to "strategic compromise", which makes the common people confused. For example, when it comes to restraint, after it becomes "strategic restraint" in a blink of an eye, people don't know what it means to say. The word strategy is very important. It is precisely because it is important that it should not be used at will. For example, the impetuous heart of former US President Trump should not be equated with "strategic impetuousness". People should try to use the international relations vocabulary called "strategy" as little as possible, and be cautious in preventing accidentally falling into the American hegemony discourse trap. Why do you say you should avoid falling into a trap? It is because strategic determination is a unique narrative of the essence of international relations among the Chinese, American politicians and the royal literati of Wall Street are trying to hack the Chinese word "strategic determination".

What is "strategic determination"? Strategic determination refers to the confidence, will and perseverance to achieve the overall intention and overall goals under complex circumstances. For a country and a nation, strategic determination is of great significance to achieving national prosperity and national prosperity.

From a military perspective, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly. Whether you can grasp the initiative in the battlefield and win the victory of the war requires deep thinking, accurate judgment, firm willpower and tenacious endurance. For the commanders of the two sides of the army during the decisive battle between the two countries, what they need most is strategic determination.

Politics or business people also pay attention to strategic determination. They believe that strategic determination is the ability to grasp the essential laws and basic trends of the development of things, overcome short-term difficulties, resist immediate temptations, and target long-term goals to continue to act.

Taxi drivers on the streets of Beijing deliberately imitate national leaders and often mention strategic determination, and talk about it with real level. This scene is rare at least on the streets of New York or London. Chinese people like to talk about strategic determination, which is due to the five thousand years of Chinese civilization. is also the result of the interweaving and integration of the excellent traditional Chinese culture and the red genes of the Communist Party of China. In response to this, those experts who don’t like Beijing taxi drivers’ chatting about the world can only endure it with “strategic grievance” and at most say “disdain to join it.” However, real foreigners, such as Americans, attach great importance to the Chinese people's attention to international dynamics, especially the young Chinese people's opinions on international politics are becoming more and more positive, attracting the attention of American and Western observers the most.As international ideological competition becomes increasingly sharp and complex, the US authorities have begun to to ban the accounts of young Chinese people on American self-media platforms , which should be unexpected by some "international experts".

Some international issues experts use more particular words when discussing strategic determination. For example, some experts questioned whether strategic determination means strategic restraint at this stage or long-term strategic confidence? Is it because of a clear understanding of the real world's power balance and advocate strategic compromise, or is it because it is cautious in judging the future trend of international power growth and decline and requires strategic calmness? I saw it. A strategic issue has not been explained clearly. More dimensions of strategic issues are coming one after another, which is really a bit of a big deal. However, if you analyze it carefully, you will find that the so-called experts intentionally or unintentionally confuse the high-level concept of strategic determination, a wisdom of the Chinese nation, with low-level concepts such as restraint, compromise, prudence, and calmness. Shiquandou believes that strategic determination is strategic determination, and there is no need to use other "strategic words" to define it again. If someone deliberately wants to muddle the concept of strategic determination and replace it with American and Western discourse, then he will undoubtedly be a member of the "Fifth Column".

Only by combining theory with practice can the value be demonstrated. Give an example of practical practice. A friend from overseas Chinese asked: Russian President Putin Do you have strategic determination in Ukraine’s war decision-making? answers this question a bit difficult, but it should not be avoided. Shiquandou believes that the antonym of strategic determination refers to various global decision-making manifestations such as blind advancement and timidity to retreat. First of all, Putin has strategic determination. The reason is that the United States-led NATO eastward expansion forced Russia to a corner. Putin was unbearable, determined to use force, and dared to use force to carry out a "special military operation" against Ukraine, a proxies and "consumables" of Ukraine. He fired back, fired the first shot of the global village against American hegemony, rewritten human history, and thus led to the collapse of the current world order led by the United States. Some people also say that Putin has done too much. No matter what, Russia is bullying the small, and it is an invasion, and it has nothing to do with strategic determination. Shiquandou responded: It can be argued whether Russia invades or not. However, if the US-led " United Nations Army " expands its military strike force in South Korea, and the Asian version of NATO is landed, not only will it start to play more "THAAD", but it will also force the Korean Peninsula to transport more advanced short-range medium-range long-range missiles and even nuclear weapons to the Korean Peninsula. The killer targets Pyongyang , Shenyang, Tianjin, and Beijing. Thirty thousand US troops stationed in South Korea provoke every day. China and North Korea can no longer bear it and are forced to join forces to launch the second war of resisting U.S. aggression and aid Korea. Think about it, Russia competes with NATO in the western end of the Eurasian continent, and the new generation of Chinese People's Volunteers in the eastern end of the Eurasian continent, Chinese People's Volunteers competes with the "United Nations Army". Is it because Russia has no strategic determination, or China has no strategic determination? Or is the United States not having strategic determination? Secondly, Putin's strategic determination is flawed. For example, underestimating the enemy. From the Russian army retreating on the front line of Kiev, Kiev, and many senior generals sprinkled blood on the battlefield to the point where they had to mobilize 300,000 new recruits in the middle of the war, which is enough to prove that there were major mistakes in the pre-war preparations. According to preliminary analysis by Shiquandou, Russia's underestimation of the enemy is mainly due to insufficient estimates of the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on US strategic decisions. When the United States and the West continue to fool the villagers of the global village and talk about what will happen in the post-epidemic era, the US authorities are actually very clear that facing the terrible epidemic that cannot be ended will inevitably bring extremely serious consequences to themselves. The Biden administration is in trouble internally and externally and has to fight on both sides frantically.

Speaking of the United States, another overseas Chinese asked: What is the strategic determination of the United States when formulating the " Indo-Pacific Strategy "? has given a clear answer to this question. Scholars pointed out that the so-called "Indian Ocean-Pacific" concept of geopolitical was first proposed by former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Ampe and Indian Prime Minister Modi . American politicians and Wall Street elites felt that it was good. After packaging, the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" was just now on the stage. After Biden took office, he realized that the Indo-Pacific strategy during Trump's period was not worthy of its name. In order to achieve "comprehensive suppression" of China - the United States' saying is called "comprehensive competition", the Indo-Pacific strategy has been greatly revised from multiple aspects such as strategic goal setting, implementation areas and force mobilization. Despite this, there are still many problems with the updated Indo-Pacific strategy. Among them, one of the most critical uncertainties is that neither Biden nor Trump gave an answer that meets the basic requirements for strategy formulation and implementation, that is, who will bear the cost of the Indo-Pacific strategy? common sense tells people that no strategy can cost zero. In other words, it is to fight with China a " Cold War " that the United States is good at. The strategic attempt of will cause serious cost problems at home and abroad. First is the starting cost of the strategy . China is not the Soviet Union. As one of the most important components of the current world economic system, excluding China is no longer a matter of rebuilding an economic system. The cost is so high that not only most of the United States' allies cannot afford it, but the United States itself cannot afford it. is followed by the strategy maintenance cost . In confrontation with China, the United States must continue to increase considerable investment in its annual defense budget, which is currently up to $800 billion, and persuade allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region and even South Asia to significantly increase defense spending. Not only that, the United States must also effectively open its market to non-Chinese trading partners to meet their needs for industrial upgrading. The third is the risk cost of strategy. During peacetime, the only reason that may lead to the members of the Asia-Pacific region taking sides between China and the United States is economic interests, and it includes two parameters: one is to support the Indo-Pacific strategy to obtain possible returns from the United States, and the other is to oppose the economic risks that must be borne even if it does not support this strategy. These two points are actually cost to the United States. The United States wants to enjoy all the dividends generated by curbing China—regardless of its strategy—but trying to get involved partners to bear the cost, which is logically ridiculous, because there is no free "lunch" in the world. Through the United States' continuous strengthening Indo-Pacific strategy, people can not only feel the anxiety and disappointment caused by the United States' increasingly clear understanding that it cannot stop China's rise, but also feel the arrogance and prejudice of the strong colonialism and hegemony of the United States' foreign strategy. The United States has reserved some strategic reasons, not because the US confidence has returned to its belief that it can curb China's development momentum by relying solely on competition in key areas, nor because China has adopted a tolerant policy in the past few years to significantly resolve the hostility of the United States, but because the United States itself has realized that the cost of "full confrontation" with China will be too high, which not only exceeds the US's payment ability, but also actually exceeds the US's willingness to pay. Therefore, the United States has no strategic determination to implement the Indo-Pacific strategy and comprehensively suppress China.

Another example of China maintaining strategic determination. In early 2020, the sudden outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia spread around the world. Then-US President Trump said that the epidemic was a "large flu". Americans' attitude was to watch the fire from the other side of the river and sarcastically. It seemed that this disease had nothing to do with them. When the United States began to have a large-scale outbreak of the epidemic, they immediately shouted that the Chinese had harmed the United States. In fact, the e-cigarette pneumonia that broke out in the area around the US military's Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory in 2019 is the new coronavirus pneumonia, which has always been a disaster for the United States to harm the whole world. Whether the United States is passing the blame or issuing a sky-high fine, China is as stable as Mount Tai, "holding on the green mountains and not relaxing", launching the people's war on epidemic prevention and control, winning the great victory of the Wuhan defense battle, and maintaining "dynamic clearance" across the country. The epidemic continues to rage around the world in 2021. The United States and the West advocate "coexisting with the virus" and coerce and induce countries to give up fighting the epidemic. To put it bluntly, the kind of anti-epidemic style between Americans and British people is "incompetent" and they really have no way to deal with the new crown epidemic. Although the United States and the West claim to be " herd immunity to ", it is impossible to be immune in the end. The only outcome is to cultivate more and more powerful Gu kings and then backfire themselves.And China "let the storm rise and sits firmly on the fishing boat", "I remain unmoved", the people unite in fighting the epidemic, social stability, maintain a positive economic trend, and foreign trade, including trade with the United States, surge. There is still no sign of ending the global epidemic in 2022. The virus continues to mutate and repeatedly invade, and the people of the United States and Western countries are suffering. US President Biden announced that the epidemic is over and has become a laughing stock of people on earth. Recently, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 70% of Americans have been infected with the new crown at least once. The United States has more than 16 million laborers suffering from long-term COVID-19 sequelae, of which 2-4 million people have lost their jobs due to long-term COVID-19. People should not just focus on the number of more than 1 million deaths in the United States, but also look at the number of 16 million people tortured by the new crown. Moreover, the number of patients with new crown in the United States continues to increase. Gone are the images of foreigners in the minds of Chinese people. The Chinese finally understand one thing: the anti-intellectuality of foreigners is far beyond imagination, and we think of them too well. In 2022, the Chinese people also experienced the thrilling battle of defending Shanghai and blocking war in Shenzhen, which was a great battle against the epidemic, and the three years of " dynamic clearance " remained unshakable, and after the storm, there was a rainbow. "A thousand blows are still strong, no matter how winds east, west, south and north", this romantic poem expressing the strategic determination of all Chinese people in fighting the epidemic is unimaginable to American politicians and Wall Street's royal literati.

Friend, do you have strategic determination?
