Recently, the White House of the United States released a new version of the national security strategy. This new version of the strategy clarifies the three major development directions of the United States. First, strengthen the domination and control of the sources of American influence; second, establish a strong national alliance to enhance the collective influence to shape the global environment and solve common challenges; third, strengthen the strength of the military and prepare for the era of strategic competition. The three major development directions, one guarantees the sustainability of the US's influence, the other amplifies the US's global influence, and the other is the military guarantee of the US's influence. The three complement each other, which is enough to show the US's ambitions.
It is worth noting that this new version of the national security strategy has also risen to a new level for China. US National Security Assistant Sullivan said to the outside world that China is the biggest geopolitical challenge facing the United States and is the United States' competitor in the economic, diplomatic and military fields. The new strategy is enough to show the United States' high attention to China's rise, but the new strategy's methods are really a bit despicable in curbing China's rise. Specifically, in this new version of the national security strategy, it directly points fingers at the Taiwan issue in China, emphasizes the United States' opposition to the status quo, and follows the "Taiwan Relations Law" to support Taiwan's "self-defense".
As a major country's national strategic policy, it is a slight strife in China's internal affairs. It lacks the demeanor of a major country, and it is also a perfect means. The reason behind the United States is not difficult to analyze now that it is not difficult to analyze.
first, this is the only choice under a series of failed planning in the United States. In the past few years, the United States has adopted a variety of sanctions to curb China's rise. In the economic field, the United States has gone from the initial trade sanctions, technology sanctions, to today's industrial competition and export restrictions. In the diplomatic field, the United States has tried to win over Southeast Asia, South Asia and Central Asian countries to deal with China, and has not hesitated to build AUKUS, Indo-Pacific Economic Framework and other organizations. In China's internal affairs, the United States also tried to stir up the storm in the South China Sea region, making a big fuss on the Xinjiang issue, and turning black and white on the Hong Kong issue. However, this series of behaviors targeting China seem to be huge, but it is often caused by heavy thunder and small rain, which is difficult to curb China. Under this series of failed planning, the only thing the United States can do is to make trouble now is the situation in the Taiwan Strait. The update of the US national security strategy now shows that the Biden administration is also aware of this.
Second. In the Biden administration's view, the situation in the Taiwan Strait is similar to the current fierce conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Western countries have not spent a single soldier and soldier. By relying on their full support to the Ukrainian army, they have caused the Russian army to fall into the quagmire of war, forcing Russia to continue to lose blood on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and the United States has also achieved the goal of weakening Russia's national strength. With the experience of the past, the Biden administration, whose confidence has increased greatly, naturally wants to take similar measures to weaken China's overall strength. Recently, when a member of the U.S. House of Representatives , in charge of military and intelligence visited Taiwan, he could fully feel this malicious tendency of the United States.
3rd, the United States tries to take the Taiwan Strait issue as the core and guide Western allies to contain China. At present, the United States and its Western allies have not reached an agreement on the issue of containing China. Although the United States hopes to suppress China's rise in all aspects, the United States still hopes to maintain prosperous trade with China. Under such circumstances, it will definitely be difficult for the United States to form a joint force to contain China, and the continuous hype of the Taiwan Strait issue has become the key to resolving this difference. Specifically, after Pelosi visited Taiwan in and , many EU countries chose to send lawmakers and senior officials visited Taiwan, which is a signal in itself. This fully demonstrates that the United States is taking the situation in the Taiwan Strait as a breakthrough point and gradually inducing Western countries to deal with China.
I have to say that the new national security strategy of the United States is really a big plan, and it also sounds a wake-up call for China.Obviously, the Taiwan Strait issue is being maliciously manipulated and exploited by the United States, and we need to be highly vigilant. However, it is certain that Taiwan issue is essentially different from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and Western countries are not united. If the United States wants to curb China's rise, it is destined to be futile.
