In 2021, according to the gdp accounting standard, China's economic scale has reached 77% of that of the United States. This is a phenomenon that has never happened since the United States became the world's largest economic power in 1895. Germany, Japan, and the Soviet Union are not being used by the United States to catch up. Financial and diplomatic means have suppressed it, and even comprehensive forces have been used to bring it down. For example, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, its GDP did not exceed 50% of that of the United States.
Therefore, the United States is trying to prevent China's economic challenges to it through trade wars, technology chokeholds, siege wars, and military provocations.
In 2018, Trump launched a comprehensive trade war against China, Biden while continuing Trump's trade war, launched a technology choke war, the most typical one is against the Chinese technology giant Huawei It suppresses and restricts, and unites with its Western brothers to try to besiege China. It also continues to provoke China around China through so-called "freedom of navigation."
In addition to direct hot war, the United States has exhausted all available means, but what is the effect?
The result of the trade war is that China's total foreign trade has reached a record high in 2021, while the United States has been reduced from China's largest trading partner to China's third largest trading partner. Domestic inflation in the United States is high, and industrial products are beginning to face shortages, so thanks The Biden administration has stated that it will cancel the tariffs imposed on Chinese goods during the Trump era. So far, the Biden administration’s informal statement has not received a response from the Chinese government.
So what will be the outcome of the technology-stuck war? Take Huawei as an example. In the short term, Huawei’s HiSilicon business has plummeted due to its inability to obtain chip OEMs, and it had to sell its high-end mobile phone brand – and honor . By 2022, Qualcomm and Intel announced access to Huawei's Hongmeng system , indirectly announcing that Huawei is gradually approaching victory. Huawei has invested heavily in domestic chip companies and at the same time begun to exert efforts in new energy vehicles. Its 5g business Although it has suffered losses in European and American countries, its shipments still rank first in the world, and it has begun to charge 5G patent fees from foreign counterparts.
As for the siege, the G7 meetings in the United States are still arguing and cannot achieve complete unity on the issue of dealing with China. However, China has continued to make progress on the issues of BRIC country expansion and Shanghai Cooperation Organization expansion. With foreign trade The promulgation of the RMB settlement order has continuously shaken the foundation of the US dollar's hegemony.
So what are the results of military provocation?
China's No. 003 aircraft carrier has a displacement of 80,000 tons and adopts the world's most advanced electromagnetic ejection technology . It may be officially put into service earlier than the Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States. What is even more powerful is that it breaks the American theory that "nuclear power must be used before electromagnetic ejection ", and directly realizes electromagnetic ejection technology based on conventional power.
China recently conducted another mid-stage anti-missile test and achieved complete success, which means that China’s anti-missile technology is becoming increasingly mature.
Based on the above, the United States cannot take any advantage in a conventional war, and rashly launches a nuclear war. China already has the capability of secondary nuclear strikes, which is also a nightmare of destruction for the United States.
Even so, the biggest possibility for the United States is to provoke proxy wars, such as inciting Taiwan independence separatist forces to provoke disputes, encouraging the resurgence of Japanese militarism, instigating India to create conflicts on the Sino-Indian border, etc. We are no longer economically and militarily at any time It is that poor and weak China, but it still cannot relax its preparations for military struggle.
