We all know that the founding of the United States has only been a short period of more than 200 years.
Since the United States has always stayed away from war-torn areas, it made huge war fortunes during the first and second world wars.
Others were injured and the United States developed,
and then took advantage of the situation when both sides were hurt by sending troops to kill people.
While the devastated Europe was seriously injured,
obtained a large number of colonies at the minimum cost. South America was included in its sphere of influence, and Europe garrisoned, bought off Britain, controlled Germany, and weakened France. Every step of the establishment and development of this country to its strength has been soaked in blood and artillery fire.
With these, the United States has become the world's most powerful country in a short period of time.
Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union , the United States has become a unipolar hegemonic country in the world.
Those who have challenged the status of the United States have been suppressed by the United States.
But China is becoming a growing threat to the United States, and the United States is also having big problems with its own development.
So on the foreign knowledge forum Quora,
some foreign netizens asked: Why doesn't the United States completely conquer China so as to avoid future worries?
A British history expert said:
The United States has tried many times, but they have failed.
The earliest attempt was at the end of the 19th century. At that time, everyone in the European powers wanted to get a piece of the pie from carving up China, and the United States naturally wanted to join it.
However, because China is too big, no great power country can completely occupy it, so the European powers determined their respective spheres of influence in China through negotiation.
However, many countries believe that they have received too few benefits. The uneven distribution of benefits among the great powers directly led to the outbreak of World War . The outbreak of World War caused the invalidation of many previous interest distribution agreements.
The United States then tried to establish a puppet regime in China.
The United States provided the Kuomintang with a large amount of loans, ammunition, and military training assistance, hoping that the Kuomintang would provide it with greater benefits.
The United States hopes to firmly control the Kuomintang through Chiang Kai-shek .
But although Chiang Kai-shek is greedy, he is not a leader who is willing to be a puppet, so Chiang Kai-shek will not let himself be under the control of the United States forever.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang only used the money and weapons provided by the United States to consolidate their power and status. They first ensured their dominance in China, and even dealing with the Japanese invaders was secondary.
will only deal with hegemonic countries like Japan and the United States after ensuring their status in China.
That is what they often say: " To fight against foreign aggression, you must first pacify yourself at home. "
However, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Kuomintang itself, even the Kuomintang and the army at that time were full of corruption.
Therefore, the Kuomintang was defeated quickly and continued to shrink its defense line until it retreated to a small island far away from mainland China.
So far, the United States’ second attempt against China has failed.
The United States followed up with a third attempt.
After the defeat of the Kuomintang, they were eager for more resource support to help them regain their lost power.
The United States also provides great support.
At the same time, the United States decided to take action on its own.
The United States chose to attack North Korea. The United States wanted to establish a puppet regime in North Korea as a stepping stone for its plot against China. We all know the ending of
failed. The ending of
is that North Korea was divided into two, South Korea became a puppet regime of the United States and was renamed the Republic of Korea, and North Korea became a buffer zone between American forces and China.
After North Korea failed, the United States immediately changed direction and made a fourth attempt.
The United States hoped to establish a puppet regime in Vietnam to plot against China, but Vietnam's leader Ho Chi Minh received a lot of help from China.
The outcome of the United States' Vietnam War was even worse.
The United States' attempt failed, and the huge amount of money invested was wasted. The resulting US dollar credit crisis even greatly shook the status of the US dollar.
This is a great shame for the United States. Even the people in the United States generally no longer support the war launched by the United States and have held various anti-war activities.
The whole world knew about it at that time. Even though China was very poor and weak at the time, it was still strong enough to repel the United States, and even repeled it twice.
After that, the United States stopped its attempts to use force.
began to build a circle of allies to surround China. The United States turned Japan into an ally and provided a large amount of resources for Japan's reconstruction and industrial recovery.
The United States also provides resources to all countries bordering China to help them develop.
Just like the Kuomintang is too greedy and pursues getting rid of the United States, the same is true for Japan.
Japan used the support of the United States to quickly establish its own dominant position in the frontier fields of science and technology, and even began to surpass the United States.
Faced with such a situation, the United States began to suppress Japan and gave Japan a fatal blow through the " Plaza Agreement ". Since then, the Japanese economy has slumped.
Japan's lessons have reminded the United States, The United States' policy towards South Korea has also changed, from supporting the South Korean government to cultivating South Korean chaebols that are closely related to Wall Street capital.
Even now, the United States has not stopped trying. Their method is to create conflicts between China and surrounding countries and support surrounding countries to accuse China. The United States is creating problems in all directions around China.
But strangely, China has become an economic power under such siege and interception. Not only has its own strength become extremely powerful, it has even provided a lot of support to neighboring countries and third world countries.
is for India, China supports Nepal, Pakistan and Bhutan .
targets Vietnam and Philippines , supports Cambodia and Singapore .
targets Japan and South Korea, supports North Korea, and maintains close cooperation with Russia.
Due to the huge economic exchanges with South Korea, South Korea must also maintain friendly relations with China.
As the United States’ plan to contain China failed and its influence in Asia declined, the United States wanted to support some countries in Asia through military force, which disgusted countries such as the Philippines and Singapore.
At the same time, China is constantly strengthening its influence through close exchanges with third world countries, such as Brazil , Mexico , African countries, and even maintaining close relations with Eastern Europe.
Because China's market is so large, many countries have begun to play the role of " double-faced people ".
For example, Japan was angrily blaming China one second, and then fawning and talking about trade cooperation with China the next.
India and South Korea have also become increasingly close in their economic exchanges with China.
Many top brands in India today are Chinese, such as mobile phones.
Various strategies of the United States failed, so the United States had no choice but to launch an attempt to launch a trade war.
At the same time, the United States began to impose sanctions on Chinese high-tech companies in an attempt to curb China's technological progress.
The most obvious example is the US sanctions against Huawei and ZTE .
And now the United States' tactics are continuing.
The United States is now using a full range of capabilities to suppress China, including military deterrence, economic suppression, and continuous attacks on China in the international public opinion war.
How will China respond? We'll see.
After reading this British expert’s answer, it turns out that imperialism is determined to destroy me.
