Speaking of the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Canada in March this year is simply a repeat of the old drama code. On March 12 to 14, 2025, in the town of Charlotte, Quebec, the group gathered together to talk on the surface about Ukraine and the global economy, in fact headed to China.
They condemned China's so-called "illegal, provocative, coercive and dangerous actions", saying that these would unilaterally change the status quo and risk leading to conflict. Especially in the Taiwan Strait, the tone is much harder than before. In the past, there was always a little balance, but now those gentle words are directly omitted, emphasizing how important it is to global prosperity to maintain the status quo.
To be honest, is it not in the transformation of saying not to allow China to take back Taiwan?Group of Seven countries – the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Canada, Italy – together brush the stands, coordinate like a piece of iron.
The statement is not an empty talk, it strikes the core interests of China. In the East Sea, they refer to freedom of navigation, pointing to the ships around the island; in the South Sea, the name of the Philippines dispute, calling for China not to counter; in the Taiwan Sea, more sensitive, directly say to safeguard peace and stability, but not to mention the principle. This combination push, it feels like wanting to lock the status quo, let the Taiwan issue be delayed indefinitely. The logic of the G7 is simple, they fear that China's unification will shake the order of the Indo-Pacific, affect their supply chain and military layout. Canada, as the host, has also added export control in the statement, warning China to take measures to break the global chain.
China's foreign ministry spokesman on March 15 responded, saying it was an interference in domestic affairs and full of arrogance.China reaffirmed its sovereign position and continued to promote the construction of islands in the South China Sea and cruise in the East China Sea.
Taiwanese authorities rejoiced, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a letter thanking the G7 for reaffirming the importance of peace in the Taiwan Sea. It is ridiculous that of the seven countries of the G7, six - the United Kingdom and Japan - were the main forces of the eighth coalition in 1900. At that time the coalition invaded China, bombed the shells, occupied Beijing, burned the Gulming Park, paid off four hundred and fifty million two white silver.
It reminds me of Mao’s old saying: “I am immortal in the heart of imperialism.”
Just after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are many ruins waiting to be revitalized, and external blockades are laminated layer by layer. On June 25, 1950, when the Korean War began, the U.S. military drove straight into the Yalu River, and the plane bombed the industrial zone in Northeast China. Chairman Mao ordered the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and volunteers entered the DPRK. After three years of fierce fighting, the war stopped on July 27, 1953. China paid a huge price, but kept its doorstep. After this battle, the leaders woke up: If you don't have an industrial foundation, what will you do next time you invade?
Thus, President Mao pushed for industrialization and generated more self-power in the main line. In January 1953, the first five-year plan was launched, introducing 156 projects in the Soviet Union, focusing on heavy industry. Steel from 15,000 tons in 1949 to 5.35 million tons in 1957; power installations from 185 million kilowatts to 8.7 million kilowatts.
At that time, China was poor, poor, without foreign exchange, all depended on exports and exchanged agricultural products. The country's quantitative supply, farmers saved the surplus of food, the city's residents ate with tickets, saved food and exchanged equipment. This is not romantic, it is hard to carry. Why so hard? Because the external environment is so bad, capitalist camps are blocked, socialism has to rise up.
In October 1962, the Chinese-Indian border conflict, the Indian army crossing the border, Mao's deployment of counter-attack, and in November, China announced a unilateral ceasefire and re-established the frontline.In 1965, the United States intensified the Vietnam War, aircraft crossed the border to bomb China's Guangxi, Mao's President instructed Vietnam to rescue, railway workers to repair the lines and transport goods.
On October 16, 1964, China's first atomic bomb exploded, and the Lop Nur mushroom cloud rose. Since then, there has been a nuclear shield. On April 24, 1970, the Dongfanghong-1 satellite was launched into space, breaking the technical blockade. By 1976, China's industrial categories were basically complete, with a power generation of 256 billion kilowatt-hours and more than 50,000 kilometers of railways.
For more than 20 years, relying on collective mobilization, migrant workers have gritted their teeth. Now some people always complain about the bitterness and hunger in those days, but they haven't thought about it. Why is this bitterness? I didn't ask for it, it was forced by external pressure. Without that generation saving food for foreign exchange, how could there be high-speed rail and aircraft carrier today? The G7 is pointing fingers now. If China had no industry back then, it would have been trampled by them like the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Today's China, with the second largest economic aggregate in the world and the forefront of military strength, does not panic in the face of the G7 statement. After the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded, the "the belt and road initiative" continued, the lighthouse in the South China Sea was bright, and the fishing boats in the East China Sea went out to sea.
G7's abacus is loud, but China doesn't eat this set. The statement also mentioned Russian aid and warned China not to help Russia. Isn't this just an attempt to drag China into the water and divide camps? In Ukraine, they called for a ceasefire and threatened to impose sanctions on Russia, but they changed their faces towards China and were highly consistent. In the final analysis, the G7 is safeguarding its own interests, and the core of the Indo-Pacific strategy is to contain China. The U.S. military swings in the Taiwan Strait, Japan expands its military, and the Philippines embraces the U.S. thighs. These are all chains.
The heart of imperialism is not dead, it is not empty words, it is a history lesson. Industrialization is not fashionable, it is fate. After the Korean War, Mao said that the enemy does not beat us, we also have to prepare for the battle. The result is? ready, now it is their turn to repel. The G7 declaration looks strong, actually exposes weaknesses: they rely on the Chinese market, but want to care about the domestic affairs of the country. The Taiwan issue, China's reunification is early, is the bottom line.
Think of the eight-country coalition army, China from accumulated poverty and weakness, to now standing in the east, fully relying on self-strength. In the era of Mao, the set of collective economy, quantitative supply, although painful, but in exchange for the industrial revolution. Twenty years, the Chinese nation from hand to machine, the world's steel production is at the forefront. This legacy, now fermented in aircraft carrier team, quantum calculation.
