Sino -US relations seem to have entered a certain "pre -war state", reminiscent of the relationship between the United States and Japan on the eve of World War II.In this unprecedented tide of the times, Sino -US relations are not only reshaping national positioning, government relations, and institutional competition, but also reshape the fate, value and choice of ordinary people.This is the era of testing Sino -US relations and the era of testing of cognitive judgment.
U.S. politics at the key node of the 2024 election, currently running quickly, the small wall of the small courtyard, reshaping the reality and the future Sino -US relations.On April 20, the House of Representatives of the United States passed a series of foreign policy bills, two of which directly involved Sino -US relations.
As the voting of the US House of Representatives directly reflects the point of public opinion on behalf of the states and society, we may wish to examine the details of this series of resolutions.The attitude of Sino -US relations.First of all, the bill of 60 billion US dollars (about S $ 81.6 billion) military aid Ukraine, after half a year, finally voted that the voting result was 311 votes in favor, and 112 votes were opposed.Although the controversy is not small, the overall consensus of American society must still vigorously assist Ukraine, defend the European security and post -war international community order, and eventually defeat Russia and Putin's aggression expansion.
Secondly, the $ 26 billion of the Act of Aid for Israel's weapons and humanitarian materials is also approved by 366 votes, and 58 votes are approved.The dispute over Israel is mainly focused on how to solve the humanitarian crisis of the Gaza Strip, and try to control Israel's military strike and breadth.Article 3 The bill is to strengthen the ability of partnerships in the Indo -Pacific region, including military aid for Taiwan and the Philippines, and clearly states that with the goal of "curbing China", the total value is 8 billion US dollars, in favor of 385 votes, 34 votes oppose the successful passing passed smoothly.Essence
The last one is a package of proposals, including confiscation of Russia's frozen overseas assets for helping Ukraine, and TIKTOK, a social media platform within a time limit, must be drowned with Chinese parent company by bytes. Otherwise, TIKTOK will be applied to the United States forciblyBased on the shelves.This package also agreed with 380 votes, and 58 votes were objected to pass.At this point, the debate on TIKTOK in the United States has come to an end, or the general trend of Tiktok has gone, facing the ending of either decimeding with the parent company, or being completely removed by the United States.(Editor's note: The US President Bye bench signed on April 24. The above bill has taken effect into law. The byte beating must be stripped off its Tiktok US business within nine months.)
Tiktok has gone. First of all, this resolution has gathered the mainstream consensus of the United States, and it is impossible to turn it over. Because once the United States has opened a precedent, many major countries in the world will follow up.At present, TIKTOK has been banned from downloading applications in many countries, and now the US Congress has passed the formal bill, and the siege of Tiktok will extend to the public society level.
The United States' criticism of TIKTOK is mainly concentrated in two aspects. One is about data security of American netizens. For this reason, although many isolation measures have been taken, TIKTOK has provenOpen.Then the content of Tiktok is as good as other major social media, but because Tiktok is mainly based on young users, the long -term negative effects have caused more concerns and attention in American society.
Although TIKTOK, as a short video social media platform, has achieved huge market and business success internationally, it is also unfortunately become a new round of confrontation and victims of the Cold War of the East and West.And in the past in the Cold War with the Soviet Group, the United States has never seen each other's media and information penetration of such extensive media and information.It may be because of this that the United States is more concerned and paid attention to the existence and potential threats of TIKTOK. At the same time, it also allows society to claim the views and voices of "freedom of speech" in this incident.There is no shortage of paradoxes and ironic that domestic netizens in China are actually unable to log in to use the Tiktok platform, but can only use a platform called Douyin within the Great Wall of Fire.Tiktok is facing two -way embarrassment and dilemma, and the future is worrying.
In summary, the United States regards the competition games of the 2.0 version of the Soviet Union in various fields such as science and technology, economy and trade, investment, politics, military, and culture.It is now determined that Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea have formed a new axis group to launch a systematic challenge and confrontation to the post -war modern world order.For example, on the issue of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Iran and North Korea's military aid against Russia are obvious.The US intelligence shows China's support for Russia, which is more reflected in the original components of key weapons, technical support and consultation, and blood transfusion assistance in economic fundamentals; otherwise, with the small Russian economic volume and strength, it should be difficult to support this protracted last timeThe war against Wu.
China may say to the United States: "You are wrong, China is not the Soviet Union of that year." However, the United States has not simply confronted China and the Soviet Union, but that China is the Soviet 2.0 version, or the amplified version of the Soviet Union.EssenceThat is, while the political policy, economic policy, and military strategy returned to the characteristics of Stalinism that year, due to the accumulation and inertia of reform and opening up in the past 40 years, China has greatly surpassed the Soviet Union's strength and the strength of the Soviet Union in the fields of manufacturing, trade, technology, and investment.Influence also made the United States unprecedentedly challenging.
Recently, I watched the speech by Jin Kouyu, an associate professor of the School of Political Economics, the London School of Political Economics on the Internet.If this statement is put before 2012, there are at least some possibilities, potential and value.But in today's situation, it is quite a bit disregarding the reality.The situation that China is currently facing is not how to surpass it, but how can it be effective.
What is the intention of Sino -US relations during this election?In fact, the US officials are also sincere on this occasion: that is, in general to maintain the competitive advantage of the United States; in case of entering the war, it is necessary to ensure that the United States can win and win.So we found that the orientation of the new policy principles of the United States on Sino -US relations has become increasingly clear: that is, ordinary state exchanges and trade can be maintained, but any advanced cutting -edge, the scale of the scale, may help China can damage during war, and can damage it during war, and it can be damaged during the war.Winning the output of the United States, whether it is technology, investment, key industrial chains and raw materials, the United States will control tighter control, and even decumily interrupt.
This shows that Sino -US relations seem to have entered a certain "pre -war state", reminiscent of the relationship between the United States and Japan on the eve of World War II.Although the overall situation of China and the United States and the United States can be reluctant to maintain, both sides are constantly increasing in specific operations, and the basic trust is accelerating the collapse.The meeting between the two officials also expressed their respective words and their respective expressions.What the rational factions of the two sides are most concerned about now, not how to restore or increase the hot spots of cooperation, but to cool down and control the hotspots of conflicts.As for the final result of the American election, no matter who will take power on the stage, it is expected that it is difficult to reverse the basic trend of continued deterioration of Sino -US relations.
In this unprecedented tide of the times, Sino -US relations not only reshape national positioning, government relations, and institutional competition, but also reshape the fate, value and choice of ordinary people.For the current game between China and the United States, the general public may hold a very different attitude and position: one is to try to judge positive errors and choose right or wrong. I believe that human civilization will eventually improve, developed, and righteous; for this,Time and opportunities will stand on a more advanced side.There is also a judgment that I don’t believe that there is any real progress in this world.The conflict and interests of interests, at this time nationalism or populism is the best choice.
This is the era of testing Sino -US relations, and it is also the era of testing of cognitive judgment.Whoever reads the world is wrong, and the world will return to astringent and fallacy.
