Unexpectedly, the "most chaotic" situation in the global situation is China. Dean Jin Canrong of Renmin University once bluntly said: China's surrounding environment is the worst and it is the product of a weak dynasty. Each of the 20 neighboring countries is better than a monkey...
Many people think that disorder is war, but the “disorder” around China is another thing, not a large-scale conflict, but small contradictions continuously, and also mixed with historical legacy issues, big power games.
For example, in the South China Sea, some countries always make small moves on islands and reefs, there are frictions on the Sino-Indian border from time to time, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula is tense and eased for a while.
These things don't seem big, but they involve many aspects of territory, resources and security, and they are particularly difficult to solve them. Moreover, China has too many neighbors, 14 on land and 8 at sea, so many countries have their own ideas.
To seize economic benefits from China, and fear that China is too strong to threaten itself, and also follow the United States to deal with China, the relationship between each other is also complicated, for example, although Japan and South Korea are all American allies, each other has historical complaints, China is trapped in the middle, and coordination is difficult.
Unlike some countries, the surrounding areas are either allies or small weak countries, and there are not so many worries. Therefore, to say that China's surrounding areas are the most chaotic means that the situation is complicated and difficult to deal with, and it is not really fighting every day.
When the Ming Dynasty was strong, no one in the surrounding area dared to make trouble at all. Because of the strong national strength, it was able to suppress the scene, and the boundaries were also decided by itself.
But in the late Qing Dynasty, the national strength declined, unable to defeat the foreign powers, so they could only sign unequal treaties and cede land for compensation. The surrounding geographical pattern was forcibly changed by the foreign powers.
Some boundaries were not set by China itself, but were drawn by foreign powers by force, leaving many disputes. For example, some issues on the Sino-Indian border are related to the McMahon Line established by the British when they colonized India.
Although China became independent later, these border issues and territorial disputes left over from history could not be resolved overnight. Neighboring countries were all focused on these interests, making the surrounding environment so difficult.
If the weak dynasty had not lost so many rights and interests, and had not left so many tails, the surrounding environment would be simple.
These neighboring countries all have their own abacus in their hearts, and they will not follow others casually. South Korea is engaged in a military alliance with the United States, but at the same time it can't do without the Chinese market. China is South Korea's largest trading partner.
South Korea's cars and electronics are mostly dependent on exports from China, so it does not dare to get too tight with China, and has to find a balance between China and the United States.
Vietnam also wants to take investment from China's "Belt and Road" cooperation to develop its own infrastructure. It also has disputes with China on the South China Sea issue, and from time to time makes small moves to test China's bottom line.
There is also Singapore, although the country is small, but the geographical location is important, it knows that it is trapped among the great powers, so it has been engaging in the balance strategy of the great powers, with China, the United States, India, andining good relations, no one is guilty, but can also benefit from the middle.
These neighboring countries were well aware of their own interests and knew how to use the relationship between major powers to benefit themselves. They would not engage in loss-making transactions, so it was not false to say that they were better than monkeys.
In the face of such a complex surrounding environment, China is not without tricks, China has always said with the surrounding countries to be good with neighbors and neighbors as companions, but also put forward the philosophy of kindness and welfare, that is, to make good relations with the surrounding countries.
On the border issue, China has demarcated its borders with many of its land neighbors and resolved most of its disputes, leaving only India and Bhutan to negotiate. This is no easy task.
However, the United States always comes to the surrounding areas to stir up trouble, and China also has ways to deal with it. When the United States conducts joint military exercises with Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines militarily, China strengthens its own national defense construction, enhances the combat effectiveness of the military, and lets the United States know that China has the ability to protect its own interests.
The United States engages in the "Indo-Pacific economic framework", wants to exclude China, China will strengthen economic cooperation with neighboring countries, establish a free trade zone with ASEAN, reduce tariffs, and make the circulation of commodities easier.
Many neighboring countries feel that cooperation with China is more realistic than cooperation with the United States and can get the benefits of real gold and silver.
However, the interests of China and neighboring countries are too tightly tied. For example, if ASEAN countries get into trouble with China, their agricultural products and minerals will not be sold, and their economies will be greatly affected. Therefore, few countries are willing to really follow the United States to deal with China.
Dean Jin Canrong's point of view is not to make us afraid of the surrounding environment, but to face up to the problem. China is now getting stronger and stronger. It is no longer the way it was bullied in the late Qing Dynasty. It has the ability to cope with the complex situation in the surrounding area.
Although neighboring countries are smart and the United States always makes trouble, China is not afraid of these challenges as long as it adheres to peaceful development, cooperates well with neighboring countries and keeps its bottom line.
Faced with the spoiler of the United States in its surrounding areas, what other ways do you think China can maintain peace and stability in its surrounding areas?
