Society: The road to globalization of the United States and China partially parts ways

The 8th China -Japan -South Korea Leader Summit was held in Chengdu a few days ago. One of the focus of the summit is economic and trade. There are three focus of economic and trade.Related.As far as coverage is concerned, from small to large, China, Japan and South Korea are the core; RCEP is the ASEAN (Ten Kingdoms) and India, Australia, and New (Three Kingdoms) above China, Japan and South Korea.It is the concept of the world island that is based on China and the full radiation of Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania.

Obviously, from the China -Japan -Korea Free Trade Zone to RCEP to the Belt and Road Initiative, it can be regarded as the global strategy of China in the new century.In just 40 years, China has been locked up by the retreat of the country before 1978. After reform and opening up, it has now become the biggest advocate and promoter of globalization.Ironically, the United States, who used to be the biggest initiator of the last century, has now become a pioneer of anti -globalization. Especially after Trump came to power, he emphasized that the United States has given priority, constantly retreating, and holding up the banner of trade protectionism., Launch the tariff war trade war to combat multilateralism.The two major powers in the world have formed an absolute contrast on a globalized position, and they have obviously partnery.

The best concept of interpreting these phenomena is the growth of core competitiveness.Theoretically, globalization can benefit all participants, but the benefits depend on the core competitiveness of the participants, the core competitiveness is more and stronger, and the benefits are more.In extreme cases, if a country has no core competitiveness, it may be the victim.For this view, the United States has a huge competitive advantage in many fields in the last century, so it is not afraid of competition, and they are afraid that others will close their doors to compete. Therefore, the United States is fully advocating and promoting globalization.In response to the current situation, the United States has obviously lost many of the previous advantages and confidence, so it is necessary to overthrow and fully resist the globalization trend.

Economic and politics is inseparable, and it is often causal.The mutual difference between the two stronger and China and the United States and China on the globalization strategy will have a profound impact on the global strategic pattern of the new century in the new century.

First of all, the concept of a world island that was originally abstracted into reality will gradually become reality.In 1902, British geographical scholar McGust proposed the term island of the World, thinking that the center of the development of the earth was the largest land consisting of the Asia, Europe, and African continent.The hard conditions and software conditions that emerge from the world island are all developed.Hard conditions are the infrastructure of the acceleration of the world ’s economy, specifically the Belt and Road Initiative; the software conditions are also a policy framework that allows the world’ s island economy to accelerate. Specifically, the free trade zone or free trade agreement such as RCEP.

With two conditions of hard and hard, it is like getting through the second pulse of Ren Du.For China, from the China -Japan -South Korea's Free Trade Zone to RCEP to the Belt and Road Initiative, they are laying a cushion to build a Chinese -centered world island strategy.

Secondly, it is the formation of surrounding and anti -surrounding situations during the Global Global Games of the United States and China.Since the Obama era, the United States has launched a strategy of returning to the Asia -Pacific rebalancing strategy in the geographical strategy in order to curb the rise of China.The purpose is obviously to block China from the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean respectively.

The response strategy of China is the Belt and Road Initiative. It is surrounded by the two roads from Lu and Sea. It is foreseeable that the Belt and Road is supplemented by RCEP.The tightly bundled together in economic and trade, not only will it be out of the surrounding circle built by the United States to China, but it may even form an anti -encirclement against the United States.

Third, the global game of the 21st century in the United States and China in progress. If it continues to develop in the current situation, it seems to be foreseeable that the following trends will appear in the global strategic pattern:

── With the rise of China, Asia will also rise.This phenomenon has been seen since the appearance of the financial tsunami G20 in 2008 and gradually seizing the G7 glory.

──The western tide that has impacted the Asia and the Western Pacific in the past five hundred years will gradually ebb.The Asian Century will return to the stage of human history;

── The most important thing is the long and consciousness of the Chinese and American fortunes reflected in the globalization and anti -globalization situation;

All of these, together, should be the so -called unreparable change.
