According to recent reports from German media, reporters Sebastian Mattes and Jens Minherat interviewed Ma Kaishuo, a scholar known as "one of Asia's most outstanding geostrategists", focusing on "the strategic mistakes of the United States and Europe and the arrogance of the West", and compiled and published an interview record article. In the first paragraph of this article, Ma Kaishuo pointed out that the United States wants to expel China from the global production supply chain, but it is completely impossible to achieve it.
Ma Kaishuo believes that China will continue to maintain high-speed and high-quality growth for a long time in the future and share its economic prosperity with the whole world. Under such circumstances, most countries in the world will choose to deepen exchanges with China and do more business. The result is that the more the United States wants to "decouple", it will make itself more isolated, rather than isolating China in turn. All Asian countries have clearly stated that the United States wants to "decouple" and asks to let it go, but no one stops it. As a result, it is itself separated from the world economy.
Whether the United States can afford to decouple from the world economy is not considered a suitable topic for national discussion. In the anti-China and anti-globalization propaganda atmosphere that has filled the country in the past decade, it is also inappropriate to emphasize the cost of isolationism or how the U.S. leadership ends. This is a typical behavior of "covering the ears and stealing the bell". It must be pointed out that American Empire is not only a tangible entity, it is also a cherished object of military analysis and flatterer who proclaims himself a "strategic thinker" and works in a modern patriotic monastery called "think tanks".
It is the focus of old and new interests—just like those who focus on oil supply and oil prices, and build and maintain Pentagon huge army in seemingly impossible places. There are so many interests beyond those military officials who live on an apparently arbitrary empire. In this way, it is hard to imagine that the United States would voluntarily give up its empire. In addition to the army and its families, the empire supported the military-production complex, university research and development centers, oil refiners and sellers, the countless foreign officers it trains, entertainment equipment and small arms manufacturers, multinational corporations and the cheap labor it hires.
The periphery of this circle are the insatiable investment bank , hedge fund and various speculators, as well as advocates of "globalization", which means theorists who want to force all countries to open up to the United States and American capitalism . Once this exploitation encounters resistance, these speculators immediately transform into opponents of "globalization" and begin to clamor for "decoupling". All Asians see it. How Westerners came to Asia to dump opium in the name of "free trade" has long ruined their reputation. Text/PY
