Li,Ruqiang: The real power comparison between China and the United States
李汝强(Li,Ruqiang)
How about the real power comparison between China and the United States? Don’t listen to what Jin Canrong said: “If there is a war, all US bases in East Asia may be destroyed in a few hours.” What Zhang Weiwei said: “With our current strength, we can overnight Take back all the occupied islands!" Such people dream there every day. Since they are dreaming, they are naturally dreaming, and no one can care about them, so let them do it. There is also Dai Xu, known as the hawk in the army, who boasted this a few years ago: "In terms of the level of weapons and equipment, today is the period when we have the smallest gap with the United States. Today, I can still responsibly tell you, With the basic knowledge that my veteran of nearly 40 years has, no country in the world today dares to compete with us in the military." Many times, showing weakness or admitting that they are inferior to each other is not a shame, because it is an objective reality. . Military retreat or even "flight" in a war is not a "shame", or even wisdom. Can't beat the "hard fight", called recklessness, waiting for failure or being eliminated by the other party. But China seems to have a tradition of vigorousness. At that time, Lafayette Cixi "sent to war" to the nations. Even the Chinese people often have such aggressive remarks, such as "beheading is not a big scar", and "a tiger will feed you too". But we know that if these brave words unfortunately become a reality, then you have been chopped off or the tiger ate you. It's hard to say, this is your true inner thoughts. Many times people, especially "in anger", often speak "annoyed words" rather than "truths." Of course, there are "spine" and "courage" in these words of qi. The two qi alone are indeed worthy of promotion and encouragement. But if you still want to preserve your strength and want to make a comeback, even your "initial aspiration" is like what Chen Ping, a senior researcher at the Center for New Political Economy of Fudan University, said, "My lifelong learning is to defeat the United Kingdom and the United States. This is "My family’s mission", then you have to be brave, and you can’t "make anger", that is, you can’t be arrogant. As for me and the common people, I think even more differently. Some netizens said: "I am not a counselor, but I hope that China and the United States will have peace." This netizen and I are a bit different: As long as there is peace between China and the United States, I am willing to admit that I am a counselor. If it was originally a counseling, admit it is not ashamed; if you don't admit it, you still counsel it. The power comparison between China and the United States actually contains another meaning: is the United States inseparable from China, or China cannot do without the United States. This has some similarities with the above. If you say that I don’t need to earn foreign exchange in the future, I don’t need to trade with the United States, and I don’t send foreign students to study in the United States, let alone learn their advanced technologies. In short, except for meetings at the United Nations, all Chinese will not go. The United States, then, China can leave the United States. The point is, is this possible? Some people will say that China cannot do without the United States, but the United States cannot do without China either. For my ignorance and ignorance of this point, I really don't know which aspect of the United States cannot do without China. If you take a 10,000 step back, even if the United States is really "inseparable from China", then, compared with China's inseparable from the United States, it is probably one to ten or one to one hundred. If there is such a huge disparity in the ratio, then there is no need to argue about who can't live without who. In fact, the success or failure of modern warfare can often be predicted in peacetime, and that depends on who is more dependent on others.
