Sino -US relations have entered the severe tension of the new Cold War after the double impact of the trade war and coronary virus epidemic.At this major historical juncture, the author believes that from the perspective of China, clarifying the nature and basic issues of competition between China and the United States is related to the fate of the country and the future of the world.
In summary, the competition between China and the United States mainly involves five basic issues: civilized status, ideology, institutional procedures, economic development and military strength.
First of all, competition between China and the United States is a matter of two sides. Why is China's cognition and concept more important?Because in terms of civilization, the United States is a mature modern civilization, while China belongs to the transitional transition of traditional civilization.In the process, the United States is a relatively stable variable, that is, evolved in accordance with the normal development rules and common sense; China is a multi -variable, that is, we must wisely cope with the integration of multiple complex factors, and to surpass the fog and misunderstanding of history.
Some people will say that since this is the case, why is they still competing with the United States?In fact, competition itself is not a problem. Healthy competition is the driving force of civilization and the world.But the orientation of competition is extremely important, is it ready for competition or zero sum?Competition is competitive plus cooperation, which is the choice of wisdom; zero -harmony has become a knockout match, or on the surface, which is a bidding and secretly engaged in zero sum, it depends on whether it is not self -motivated.
In terms of ideology, it depends on whether the cognition is sober enough.For example, Marxism is regarded as official in China, but in the Western culture of its origin, it is just a branch of modern philosophy and political ideological system.Traditional textbooks believe that socialism is a more advanced social form, and will definitely overcome and replace capitalism.The development and practice fully prove that traditional autocratic socialism and traditional monopoly capitalism are actually at the same level, belonging to the extreme state of the edge of the development spectrum of modern society; democratic capitalism and democratic socialism are the mainstream leading the contemporary world.Essence
Throughout the mainstream ideology of the contemporary world, the so -called political position and positioning of the left, middle and right can vary from person to place because of the time.The most powerful achievement, or the reason why the mainstream leadership is the procedure justice that establishes, maintains and develops political culture, that is, relative to the traditional jungle law, there is a set of political civilization rules that are followed by all parties according to law.This makes the generation, operation, error correction, inheritance, and change of power, which can be carried out in civilization and peace rather than black boxes.This is also a significant sign that distinguish between modern society and traditional society.
Excessive entanglement of ideology, its superficiality and misunderstanding are the label on the left, middle and right, and decide to be evil.In fact, leading the political culture and procedure justice of the left, middle, and right is more critical, that is, the construction of the environment and program, which is much more important than the contestants themselves.If his own political culture and rules, from Liu Bang Xiang Yu, the supreme king of the king king, and now after 2,500 years, there is still no major reform and progress, then it is not difficult to find that the real gap and disadvantage compared with modern civilization compared to the disadvantage of the disadvantages of the modern civilization compared to the disadvantages.Essence
Economic development, looking at the 70 -year history of contemporary China, there are two major leap variables. One is the reform and opening up began in the 1980s. Among them, the logo of economic reform is to vigorously promote the development of market and private economy;Industrial chain and market, cooperate with advanced and developed economic operation methods.At present, the development of China's economy is very clear: if it continues to advance and enhance the above two major variables, China will continue to grow and grow, otherwise it will retreat from disabilities.
To be honest, in addition to some volume and market potential in the Chinese economy, other advantages are still lacking.For example, the above two major variables that promote China's economic leap in the early morning in the United States are normal operations; and these two major variables are still outlooking in China.So how do you compete with the United States?
Regarding military strength, a truth must be remembered, that is, force and war are political continuity.There are too many political weaknesses, and the military tossing is not supplemented.For example, some people in China recently claimed that they would develop to 1,000 nuclear warheads as soon as possible, of which at least 100 were covered in the United States.However, Yin Jian was not far away. In the early 1990s, the Soviet Union had more than 11,000 strategic nuclear weapons that could fight against the United States, and at least 15,000 tactical nuclear weapons, but failed to help them win the West.
