A Harvard University speech sparked a global public opinion earthquake, and the speaker was not someone else, it was former National Security Assistant Shalvin, who has dominated the U.S. foreign strategy for many years.

China will not become another Soviet Union.This is not a diplomatic decree, but an acknowledgment of the impotence of the American elite to reality.

The information behind it is even more obscure: America¡¯s attempt to maintain world hegemony has come to an end, not tomorrow, not the next decade, but now.

Not you blocked me, I stopped the footsteps.

In recent years, the United States has been on the technological front with a combination of blockade, disconnection and sanctions.

On the surface, China is stuck, and chips, equipment, industrial software... all life doors are being targeted. But reality has given the United States a hard-core rebound: China has not only not been dragged down, but has achieved a key breakthrough in oppression.

The most representative, is Huawei. after being "precision-guided" for years, this year Kirin chip not only achieved domesticalization, but also mass commercial use on many terminals.

Although the production process is not the most cutting-edge 3nm, for the United States, this is no longer a "whether or not" issue, but a "whether or not it can be stopped" issue. blocking policy is like a blocking of water pipes, resulting in China not only repairing new water pipes, but also opening branches of water canals.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. China's 5G infrastructure has already spread across the country, accounting for more than half of the world's base stations.

While the United States was still piloting in major cities, China had already used 5G in factories, mines, hospitals, ports, and even agriculture. This is no longer a question of "technology catching up", but a question of "who has the final say in the new round of rules".

Looking at aerospace and manufacturing, Chang 'e-6 brought back samples from the far side of the moon, and C919 domestic large aircraft began commercial flights. Behind these projects is the collaborative development of thousands of domestic parts, materials and processes.

A country can continue to innovate outside the open market, to see if there is no complete technological ecology.The United States thought that China lacked "core", like a lack of heart; did not think that China not only started to make its own "heart", but also hand-made blood vessel muscles and nervous system.

The blockade started as "cutting off supply", then became "forcing self-reliance", and finally became "sending thrust". The United States originally wanted to press the pause button, but instead it helped China press the accelerator button.

The world¡¯s factory is no longer just screwdriving.

Once, "Made in China" was synonymous with low cost, low added value. But now, the global economic chart has quietly changed the background. China's manufacturing is no longer the label of "cheap goods", but the source of new technologies, new standards, new markets.

One of the most intuitive examples: new energy vehicles. BYD, NIO, and Xpeng have established a firm foothold in Southeast Asia, Latin America and even European markets.

Byadi not only sells cars, but also makes factories, supply chains and technology together to "pack out". American car companies are still cutting, transforming, seeking subsidies, China's new energy car companies have been in the global circles, doing or high added value work.

China is now the only country in the world with all the industrial categories, from basic materials to high-end equipment, from machine tools to software, almost no link is completely dependent on the outside.

Moreover, this giant system is not static, but is constantly upgrading. 8000 horsepower electric motorcycles, large container ships, polar ice breakers, not only built, but also stable exports, running steadily in the most demanding environments.

From another dimension, China has long been unsatisfied with "selling things."Through the "Belt and Road" and the Free Trade Area network, a new supply chain centered on itself is being built.

This network has not only goods logistics, but also the flow of rules. RMB settlement, tariff convenience, technical standards, these words that look cold and ice, in fact, determine the trade direction for the next few decades.

ASEAN has become China¡¯s largest trading partner, while U.S. speech in many emerging markets is declining.

It's not that these countries don't want to do business with the United States, but that more and more countries are discovering that they don't need to choose sides or be forced to accept political conditions to cooperate with China.

The United States wants to rely on the dollar system and financial hegemony to maintain its global economic influence, but as a result, it is "reversely surrounded" by reality: when new energy and manufacturing become the driving engines of a new round of global economy, the traditional advantages of the United States begin to appear more and more "old".

The world is not a single-person play, but a crowd of people.

In the past few decades, the United States, like a director, tried to arrange plots for the world: who is the "good guy" and who is the "bad guy"; Who can develop and who should be limited. But now, this play is getting worse and worse, because the audience began to come on stage, the group changed into the protagonist, and the script didn't listen to it.

The signal behind this is very clear: America's "Middle East script" is outdated. The oil trade settled in US dollars began to shift to RMB, and even the traditional "petrodollar" system began to loosen.

Look at Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia ¨C these regions known as the ¡°global south¡± ¨C are increasingly choosing long-term cooperation with China.

Mining, agriculture, and infrastructure projects are constantly being signed, and even some traditional American allies have begun to remain "vague" on key issues, unwilling to take sides unconditionally.

More subtle are the changes in international organizations, the expansion of the BRICS countries, the strengthening of the SCO mechanism, and a large wave of emerging countries actively applying for membership.

These organizations are not to fight the West, but to break away from the set of "must listen to America."They are trying to build a "multicenter" world where every country has the opportunity to speak, not the fate of all by one country.

All this, the United States is not unseen, the words of Sullivan, in fact, is the "collective self-consciousness" of Washington's strategic community: the logic of the past "you strong I surround, you weak I absorb" has failed for China.

China is not the Soviet Union, will not be dragged down by the arms race; nor will Japan, will not be dragged by the Square Agreement.So America can only accept one reality: it cannot be persuaded, it can only coexist.

In the new international order, America is no longer the only commander, but one of the many players.

In history, the end of every hegemony is not a declaration, but a series of events.

Blocking innovation, driving transformation, reforming the diplomatic pattern, the three forces jointly pushed the United States from the ¡°single protagonist¡± to the position of ¡°one of them¡±.The bell of the times has been ringing, the old script has been rewritten, and the new world story has just begun to be written.
