Abstract: The United States is thousands of miles away geographically, but its influence on China's security is close at hand. Sino-US relations are as changeable as the weather. The United States once posed a serious threat to China's security and fought a war with China. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, relations between the two countries have been normalized. However, judging from the national nature and strategic objectives of the United States, especially the policy trend after the end of the bipolar pattern, the essence of the containment faction and the contact faction are all attempts to delay China's rise as a world power. For this reason, the United States has created troubles for China in political, economic and military aspects, and even encouraged and incited neighboring countries to confront us, thus becoming the country that poses the greatest threat to me in the security environment around China.
1. Politically, step up the implementation of the strategy of "westernization" and "differentiation"
The United States is the largest global hegemonic country in the world today. After the end of the Cold War, the United States' ambition to dominate the world expanded further, trying to achieve its ambition to dominate the world and "destroy capitalism" by using military threats and political infiltration under the guise of "democracy" and "freedom". The American ruling group believes that the growing strength of socialist China will eventually pose a "threat" to the interests of the United States. The United States regards me as the main obstacle to its hegemony and clearly lists me as one of the global strategic opponents after 20 15, so it has always been hostile to me. The essence of its China policy is to induce pressure with both hands and promote change with both hands. In the final analysis, it is an attempt to finally bring China into the western system. Politically, the United States will continue to use Taiwan Province Province, Tibet, human rights and other issues to contain me and intensify its westernization and division. Economically, it tries to integrate me into the world economic system dominated by the United States according to the American model, and at the same time strengthen the economic infiltration, control and suppression of me.
2. militarily, comprehensively contain and prevent us.
The United States is the number one military power in the world. In recent years, taking advantage of its absolute economic and military advantages, it has stepped up its efforts to play chess with Puckilo around China and made strategic arrangements for prevention and containment. By strengthening military alliances, we will infiltrate neighboring countries and gradually narrow the military siege of China. From a series of events since the 1990s, such as the US arms sales to Taiwan, the Galaxy incident, the Kitty Hawk incident, the US aircraft carrier formation interfering with our exercises, the missile attack on our embassy in Yugoslavia, and the plane collision incident on Hainan Island, it can be seen that with the gradual implementation of the US global strategy and the completion of its military deployment, it is increasingly possible for the United States to contain and suppress me by military means. Once I am forced to use force to solve problems such as Taiwan Province Province and the South China Sea, the United States will inevitably intervene militarily. Among the possible opponents I face, beauty is the biggest, comprehensive and long-term threat to me. Almost all the problems I face in security have the background of the United States, and most of the disasters are in the United States.
3. Take advantage of the problems in Taiwan Province Province for strategic containment.
In recent years, the United States has more blatantly pursued the substantive "one China, one Taiwan" policy and secretly supported the "Taiwan independence" activities, with the aim of using the issue of Taiwan Province Province as an important strategic bargaining chip to contain China. The position and policy of the United States on the issue of Taiwan Province Province is a serious obstacle to the reunification of China, and it is also an important source that may induce political turmoil in Taiwan Province Province. Militarily, marked by the provision of advanced weapons, expand arms sales to Taiwan. . Second, the performance of weapons sold to Taiwan is advanced. . Third, transfer advanced technology to help Taiwan Province develop advanced weapons.
1) The United States once posed a serious threat to China's security and fought a war with China. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, US-China relations normalized. However, judging from the national nature and strategic objectives of the United States, especially the policy trend after the end of the bipolar structure, the United States will pose a comprehensive political, economic and military threat to China's security for a long time and will be China's main strategic opponent in the international struggle.
(2) The United States pursues global hegemonism and the strategy of "peaceful evolution", which has a fundamental conflict of interest with China. After the Cold War, the United States became the only superpower in the world, and it has a strong desire to establish a unipolar world. The United States is the largest global hegemonic country in the world today. After the end of the Cold War, the United States' ambition to dominate the world expanded further, trying to use both military threats and political infiltration under the guise of "democracy", "freedom" and "human rights" to realize its ambition to dominate the world and "eliminate capitalism". After the Cold War, the trend of China's rise to become a world power is unstoppable, and China naturally wants to promote the process of world multipolarization. Therefore, there is a structural contradiction between China and the United States, that is, to establish a unipolar or multipolar world order. In addition to this structural contradiction, there is also a major political system contradiction between China and the United States. Therefore, there is sharp opposition and conflict with China in national interests and foreign policy.
(3) The United States regards China as a long-term strategic opponent and tries to "westernize" and "divide" and contain China by political and economic means. The American ruling group believes that the growing strength of socialist China will eventually pose a "threat" to the interests of the United States, so it has always been hostile to China. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States regarded China as "the last bastion of productism" and a long-term strategic opponent. The essence of its contact policy with China is to induce pressure and promote change with both hands. In the final analysis, this is an attempt to finally bring China into the western system.
(4) The United States has a strong military force, maintains a forward deployment in the Asia-Pacific region, and has military strength and potential attempts to threaten China's security. The United States is the world's number one military power, and its economic and military strength has formed an absolute advantage over China. In recent years, the United States has re-listed China as an "enemy country" and a potential war target. Its military deployment in the Asia-Pacific region is obviously aimed at China, and it can deal with China at any time if the situation requires it.
(5) The implementation of the "one China, one Taiwan" policy in the United States is a serious obstacle to China's reunification. The biggest external resistance to the reunification of Taiwan Province Province with the motherland comes from the United States. In recent years, the United States has openly pursued the "one China, one Taiwan" policy and secretly supported the "Taiwan independence" activities. Its purpose is to use the issue of Taiwan Province Province as an important strategic weight to contain China, connect the western Pacific Ocean, and achieve the encirclement of China. The position and policy of the United States on the issue of Taiwan Province Province is a serious obstacle to China's reunification of the motherland, and it is also an important source that may induce political turmoil in Taiwan Province Province.
The main actions of the United States in the surrounding areas of China
1. Adjust the global military deployment and strengthen the military presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The focus of the new round of global military adjustment in the United States is to strengthen the military strength in the Asia-Pacific region, improve the operational command system, strengthen the construction of military bases, and improve the ability to respond to and intervene in regional security affairs. First, reorganize, integrate and improve the operational command system of the US military in the Pacific, cancel the US military command in Japan and South Korea, and set up the "Northeast Asia Command" to command and coordinate the actions of the US military in Northeast Asia, including the Korean Peninsula, Japan and the Taiwan Province Strait, so as to enhance the ability of coordination and cross-regional operations. The second is to strengthen the construction of a strategic base with Guam as the core and strengthen the naval and air forces in the western Pacific. It is ready to build Guam into the largest naval and air support base, the largest ammunition storage base and the largest deep attack strategic outpost in the Asian continent. Third, strengthen the military presence in Southeast Asia and the South China Sea, and strive to expand the military "right of entry" in this region. After obtaining the Changi military base in Singapore, it has successively signed military base use agreements with Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand, the Philippines and other countries. Fourth, seek to establish permanent military bases in Afghanistan and Central Asia and strengthen military, political and economic ties with Central Asian countries. Fifthly, formulate a medium-and long-term plan for deploying missile defense systems in the Asia-Pacific region, and build a missile defense system network among the United States, Japan and Australia, in an attempt to include India and Taiwan Province Province.
2. Strengthen military security cooperation with traditional allies and expand the ranks of allies. First, strengthen cooperation with traditional allies such as Japan, Australia and South Korea. Take the US-Japan alliance as the cornerstone of the US Asia-Pacific strategy, emphasize the core role of the US-Japan alliance, vigorously promote Japan to become its global partner, strengthen military alliances, and establish a deep-seated, all-round and wide-ranging cooperation mechanism. On February 19, 2005, the foreign ministers and defense chiefs of the United States and Japan held a regular meeting of the Security Consultative Committee in Washington and issued a joint statement, which expanded and enriched the scope, connotation and level of the US-Japan alliance, extended the scope of security cooperation to Taiwan Province Province, the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean for the first time, clearly listed the strategic objectives of the two countries in the region and even the world, and emphasized that coordination and cooperation in international affairs and regional security would be strengthened within the framework of the alliance. Incorporate Australia into the missile defense plan, establish a joint military training center between the two countries in Australia, and strengthen the US-Australia alliance. Strengthen military cooperation with South Korea through the DPRK nuclear issue. The second is to expand the ranks of allies. Strengthen military relations with the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore, and frequently hold joint military exercises. In June 2003, 5438+ 10 and March 2004, the Philippines and Pakistan were declared as their non-NATO allies. Constantly strengthen military cooperation with Mongolia and establish paramilitary alliances. Strengthen military exchanges and cooperation with India and increase arms sales to India.
3. Strengthen the infiltration and control of energy, strategic places and passages in this area. The United States occupied Afghanistan, stationed troops in Central Asia, strengthened military, political and economic ties with Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan in an attempt to control the oil and gas resources in the Caspian Sea. In view of the important strategic position of the Straits of Malacca, in March 2004, under the pretext of anti-terrorism, the United States proposed to implement the "Regional Maritime Security Initiative" in the Straits of Malacca in an attempt to deploy military forces to get their hands on and control the Straits of Malacca.
The influence of American hegemonism and cold war mentality on the security around China is comprehensive and long-term.
Geographically speaking, the United States is far from Wan Li, but its influence on China's security is close at hand. American intervention and influence have penetrated into most areas around China. Sino-US relations are always in constant friction and collision. Recently, Sino-US relations are in a quiet period after the fierce confrontation caused by the bombing of our embassy in Yugoslavia. But in the long run, the confrontation between China and the United States will exist for a long time, and the United States will pose a long-term and serious threat to China's security. Judging from the national nature and strategic objectives of the United States, especially the policy trend after the end of the bipolar pattern, the essence of the containment faction and the contact faction is to delay the pace of China becoming a world power. To this end, the United States has created troubles for China in political, economic and military aspects, and even encouraged and incited neighboring countries to confront us, thus becoming the country with the greatest potential threat to China in the surrounding security environment.
Economically:
In recent years, economic and trade cooperation between China and the United States has become more and more frequent, and the fields and levels of cooperation have been constantly broadened and deepened. But the deeper reality is that the United States still does not give up any opportunity to impose economic sanctions on China. Therefore, when studying the economic impact of the United States on the security around China, there are several aspects that need special attention:
First, the exchange rate issue between China and the United States has emerged and will become a hot spot of friction in Sino-US economic and trade relations in the short term. Severe and inappropriate exchange rate changes will have a serious impact on China's exports, employment, foreign exchange reserves, financial system and China's overall economic strength.
Second, with the enhancement of China's export competitiveness, trade frictions will continue to rise and trade wars will be inevitable. All kinds of trade wars from "food war" to "automobile war" are possible. Once a trade war breaks out, American public opinion will attack China and even cause security problems.
Third, technology export control has become one of the core issues in Sino-US economic and trade relations. It will be our long-term and arduous task to break the technical barriers in the United States. China needs not only American military technology, but also universally applicable civilian technology, such as energy-saving and environmental protection technology, agricultural products production increase and storage and transportation technology, medicine and medical equipment technology, transportation and construction technology and so on. In particular, it should be noted that the top talents in China, especially the younger generation, are losing to the United States. This loss of technical soft resources should attract our attention more than the acquisition of technical hard resources.
Fourth, the national economic security problems that may be caused by American investment in China. The direct investment and merger of large American companies in large state-owned enterprises and important strategic resources in China may pose a threat to the survival of large state-owned financial enterprises; At the same time, the gradual opening of the China stock market has a great impact on American investment funds. Financial security is the core issue of national economic security. The drawbacks and loopholes in the financial system give American capital the opportunity to enter the China market on a large scale.
Fifthly, in the national system, the United States has always positioned China as a "non-market economy country". The resulting restrictions and discrimination are also inevitable. The main political criterion for the United States to position China as a "non-market economy country" is the absence of multi-party politics, which also implies the westernization and peaceful evolution of China's political system.
In addition, other economic factors related to non-traditional security are also on the rise. China's vulnerability in the supply of other strategic resources, such as grain and minerals, remains outstanding. American technology is still far ahead of China in preventing the spread of transnational diseases and environmental degradation. The United States can find new ways to put pressure on China's soft spot, which is hard to prevent.
Cultural aspects:
The United States not only threatens China's neighboring security militarily, but also faces serious threats culturally.
With the acceleration of economic globalization in the world today, cultural exchanges and cooperation in various regions have become increasingly frequent, and western culture represented by the United States has occupied a dominant position and began to spread and infiltrate on a large scale. The United States has infiltrated its cultural power into every corner of the world, causing cultural security problems in this region. So how does the United States carry out its great cultural infiltration?
I summarize it as the following three points: 1 Make use of the advantages of cultural industry to carry out cultural infiltration. In the 1990s, American culture formed a powerful American-style force with economic globalization. At present, America's cultural industry ranks first in the world and becomes the largest cultural exporter. Numerous and complicated American cultural goods have transcended geographical and time-space restrictions and reached every corner of five continents. Faced with the impact of American consumer culture, especially the media, on China's cultural market, the values of young people in China will be subtly westernized or Americanized. At present, there is still a big gap between China and western developed countries in economy and technology, and the cultural industry is not developed enough to meet the needs of some teenagers for high standards of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which makes them admire and yearn for the United States. The cultural values of some teenagers are biased towards western culture, and the idea of "Westernization" is very popular among these teenagers.
In addition, the United States also obtains cultural resources from other countries and nations, and transforms other cultures according to its own needs, that is, "Americanization" and then spreads it around the world, which not only brings high profits to itself, but also achieves the purpose of promoting American nationalism and cultural supremacy. Mulan, an animated film produced by the American Disney Company, is a vivid example, and its theme is filial piety respected by China traditional culture. In Mulan, an animated film produced by Disney Company, the theme becomes women's pursuit of self-worth, and the theme of filial piety is secondary. Some teenagers in China may be confused about the theme. Maybe 10, 20 years later, the traditional theme of Mulan will be replaced by the theme of "self-realization"; It can be inferred that if more traditional cultural heritages are developed and tampered with by western countries, China's traditional culture may be in danger of being lost.
2. Take advantage of the monopoly position of network culture to carry out cultural infiltration. Today, with the rapid development of network technology, the openness and globalization of the network make it very convenient for the United States and other western developed countries to break through national boundaries and geographical restrictions to promote cultural hegemony, infiltrate values and expand cultural influence. This cultural invasion will not only blur the younger generation's recognition of their national culture and identity, weaken their national consciousness, and even make them become people who worship American culture.
The influence of American cyber culture hegemony on China teenagers is not only manifested in ideology, but also in the englishization of cyber language. At present, the dominant language on the Internet is English, accounting for more than 90%, while Chinese accounts for less than 1%. More than 90% of the information is in English. In addition, the western developed countries in the United States also have many outlets, and their websites are the places visited most by netizens. English has become a universal and fashionable standard language, and it is almost difficult to communicate on the Internet without knowing English, which stimulates the enthusiasm of young people in China to learn English, but makes them ignore the importance of Chinese, leading to the decline of their ability to master Chinese. The most obvious embodiment is the writing of Chinese characters. First, the handwriting is forgotten and the typos increase; Second, the handwriting is scrawled, the aesthetic is reduced, and calligraphy is seriously ignored; Third, the gradual loss of interest in classical Chinese and ancient poetry has affected the continuation of China's excellent traditional culture, so that Chinese is in danger of shrinking.
3. Recruit a large number of young talents in China, and cultivate the talents strategy of the United States for young people in China: set up scholarship programs in colleges and universities to make young people admire and appreciate the United States and attract them to voluntarily settle in the United States or work in foreign companies in China after graduation. For example, Honeywell has set up scholarships in top domestic universities such as Tsinghua, Peking University and Fudan University to reward students with excellent academic performance. Take advantage of education, relax the policy of studying in the United States, constantly select outstanding students from domestic universities and even middle schools or students with superior family economic conditions to study abroad, and attract outstanding talents to stay abroad or become agents of multinational companies in China with high salaries and superior conditions. Training college graduates who work in multinational companies, forming American-style work ideas and living habits, has become the so-called "white-collar culture" of American values, and gradually blended into the lives of a considerable number of young people in China, forming a fashion culture. Therefore, in the face of such a strong cultural infiltration in the United States, it is particularly important to take measures to safeguard our local values.
Concluding remarks
To sum up, we should see that the United States strategically regards China as a potential strategic opponent, which has not changed for a long time. The relationship between China and the United States is connected with a sensitive nerve, and any trouble will be triggered at any time. It is a strategic act for the United States to put pressure on China in political, military, economic and cultural aspects, and we should have no illusions about it. However, as long as China strengthens its own market competitiveness, anti-risk ability, crisis response ability and system construction ability in the process of studying, analyzing, resisting and countering various economic strategic means of the United States, it can open up more space for peaceful rise.
