1\ Long ago, the United States took China as the object of ideological contest because of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Of course, at that time, China was just a political power (American politicians said, not me, I recited in the college entrance examination =
=).
However, after nearly 30 years of reform and opening up, China has become the third largest economy in the world, approaching the second largest economy (the first is naturally the United States). This is the economic rise of China.
Then the China government's concern for the people has expanded through the media and the Internet, and many systems have become more and more open, which is the progress of society.
Secondly, culturally, China's cultural soft power is very weak. Although the development of film and television is very strong, and there are so many Confucius Institutes, the form looks good, but the cultural heritage in the bones is obviously insufficient. Of course, even if the cultural strength is not so strong, it is indeed developing and progressing.
Then the United States regards us as an ideological threat, as economic cooperation and competitors, or as military opponents (sometimes simple cooperation and exchanges).
You know, our American bonds and foreign exchange reserves are the weakness of the United States.
If the United States wants to maintain its hegemonic position in the world, the only country that challenges its position most is China.
The relationship between China and Russia is very complicated. At present, the cooperation between the two governments is greater than competition (especially in the military field).
Development trend: I don't know. If the world were predictable, there wouldn't be so many disasters.
However, I think that since China has the chips of the United States, there is a tendency to advance and retreat with the United States in the natural economy. The development should be good. China has a huge market potential and many political wizards.
