U.S. Vice President Pence delivered an important speech in Washington some time ago, which basically reflects the current thinking of the US government and elite China.
However, Pence's speech is mainly a policy declaration, not academic papers. Individual arguments and expressions are rigorous, slightly hasty, and not strange.If the Chinese side only entangle the grievances on Pence's speech only in some details, it may vaguely vague vision and let yourself see the tree.
The author believes that the most important thing is that it is necessary to macroly reflect on the storm interaction between China's development path and the relationship between China and the United States.Only by this strategic speculation can make a sober and accurate judgment, let history tell the future, it will also help get out of the current crisis of Sino -US relations.
So we might as well leave the festival, focus on several super historical nodes on the Chinese road, and the effects of the role of Sino -US relations during this period.From the change of 178 years since 1840, there are many main events and milestones in modern Chinese history, but there should be three super nodes:
First, the Chinese people overthrew the Emperor's system represented by the Qing Dynasty in the early 20th century, and established the first Republic of Asia;
Second, in 1945, China won the victory of the Anti -Japanese War, and ushered in a new opportunity to establish a unity, democracy, and rich and strong New China;
Third, the Chinese people and the ruling parties were painful and painful in the late 1970s, reform and opening up, and after 40 years of innovation struggle, it greatly changed China's poverty backward appearance.
History testimony, the revolutionary party led by Sun Yat -sen, before the success of the Revolution of 1911, has long been based on many major cities in the United States as actions and logistics bases. The majority of overseas Chinese is also an important force to promote the reform of the Chinese Republican democratic democracy.Sun Yat -sen proposed the discharge of the prisoners, restored China, and established the Police Policy of the Republic of China. It undoubtedly received the enthusiastic response and support of the American people and the government with deep independence and freedom.
In the Second World War of the Anti -Fascism, the Chinese and American governments, the army, and the people support each other, liver and gallbladder, and fighting blood. In order to defeat the invaders, establish a new post -war international order, and play a core decisive role.The United States had positive and sustainable cooperative assistance and support for the Central Government of the Kuomintang at that time and the Communist Party and the Communist Party.
After the war, the United States also vigorously promoted the peaceful negotiations between the KMT and the Communist Party, the establishment of a joint government, and advocating the goal of political democracy, anti -corruption, integrity, and judicial independence.
China ’s reform and opening up in the past 40 years has been launched at the same time with the establishment of formal diplomatic relations with China and the United States.Since then, the various cooperations between China and the United States have developed rapidly in various cooperations in economics, trade, diplomacy, education, humanities, and military. Although there are many twists and turns, the mainstream is magnificent.The United States as the main external partners and pushing hands of China's 40 years of reform and opening up, it is by no means an exaggeration.Even if a major trade dispute in China and the United States currently occur, the final result may not be negative.
The conclusion of the observation is that at an ultra -heavy historical node, the United States' grasp of Sino -US relations, basically the core willingness of China, long -term interests and historical trends, which are each other.Since then, three questions have also been extended:
First of all, in the event of a super -historical node, China is not very successful in the grasp of it. It is often lost with the major turning point opportunities. Is the historical inertia shrouded in the future?
After the Revolution of 1911, China fell into Yuan Shikai's restoration, warlord melee, and hostile parties, and the pursuit of democracy and republic was frustrated.After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, China faced a historical opportunity to follow the joint program to form a joint government and establish a strong unified democratic republic. However, the efforts of this direction have been replaced by unprecedented civil war and are survived to this day.
At present, after the 40 years of reform and opening up, China's development is facing a key direction choice, and the state trend is confused.
Furthermore, although there is no need to copy the US model while taking photos, should it be acknowledged that the United States has always been an important reference benchmark on China's modern road?Historical practice proves that China has suffered setbacks from this benchmark; China has achieved development and progress closer to this benchmark.If you do n’t comprehensively study the scriptures, you ca n’t really surpass the United States.
In the end, from the perspective of Sino -US relations, these three super -historical nodes seemed to be the smooth initial cooperation between China and the United States. However, after China touched the stones, it was not the river.When did you turn it in place, how can there be a breakthrough?
