[China praises] British scholars say: The reason America has always targeted China, is because China has made a big mistake. a nation founded only two or three hundred years, a country strong but a hundred years, dare to call "habit" the world leader.

The more I look at this game between China and the United States, the more I feel that something is wrong. This is not a simple transfer of power at all, but more like a fundamental misjudgment and an all-round "misplacement". The United States seems to be holding an old map and looking for a brand new world, but naturally it has hit a wall everywhere.
First of all, this is the misalignment of time. It is difficult for a country that has been founded for more than 200 years and enjoyed global hegemony for only a hundred years to understand an opponent with a memory of 5,000 years of civilization.
The culture of the United States is "destined destiny", a strong mentality in pursuit of rapid wartime decision, which makes it look at China's completely different path of rejuvenation, always with a sense of being "offended" and even viewed as "the original crime."
But China's response is a deep resilience rooted in Han Dong's long-term memory.This deep sense of history brings strong strategic determination and inherent momentum.
The greater the external pressure, the stronger the internal rebound force. It's like the extreme blockade of Huawei, which was thought to be fatal in one move, but in the end, it forced a technological breakthrough in Kirin chips. This kind of story has actually been repeated repeatedly in thousands of years of history.
Then came the misalignment of the entity. The weapon that the United States is best at is the dollar hegemony based on the Bretton Woods system, a virtual financial tool.
It can easily print money, for example, by issuing an additional approximately US$6 trillion in 2020, causing the world to follow suit in inflation; it can also use "long-arm jurisdiction" to strike accurately, as the experience of Alstom in France in 2013 is a typical example. But when this gameplay is used on a giant in the real economy, the effect is greatly reduced.
China is the only country in the world with a complete industrial chain, with almost no strategic shortcomings.When the United States imposed tariffs on $3600 billion of Chinese goods, it was discovered that the costs eventually fell to the heads of its own consumers and enterprises, while China's exports relyed on the development of Southeast Asia and European markets, hardly not collapsed.
What's even worse is that in the key industry of polysilicon, China's production capacity accounts for more than 90% of the world's total, and it is far ahead in rare earth processing technology. The US military's F-35 fighter jets and nuclear submarines are inseparable from it. This kind of counter-measure capability at the entity level makes some bans in the United States look embarrassing. For example, the ban on the sale of C919 engines was lifted by itself in just 36 days.
The United States is accustomed to pulling up a bunch of allies and engaging in closed military circles.From the “Democracy Summit” in 2021 to the “Quarter Security Dialogue”, the goal is to build a circle of encirclement against China.
But the problem is that the allies, like Australia and Japan, are very cautious on key issues, and no one really wants to be pushed forward as the ashes.The U.S. military spending is more than $800 billion,ining more than 800 overseas bases, but a war in Afghanistan will take 20 years and $2 trillion, and eventually ends.
China's response is to build an open economic network. Since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed in 2013, it has covered more than 150 countries and used the link of economic cooperation to carry out "anti-encirclement".
The yuan began to be used for oil settlement and became the world’s second-largest trade financing currency by 2023, which is shaking the U.S. alliance system from the foundation. Even in the atmosphere of sword-shaking, the U.S. trade volume in 2023 still exceeds $600 billion, and the strong economic laws are far from easily cut by political intentions.
As foreign strategies frequently disappear, the internal problems of the U.S. themselves become more and more blurred. Infrastructure aging by 2025 rating is only C-the wealthiest 10% of the population accounted for 70% of the wealth, and the social crackdown was thoroughly ignite in the 2020 Minneapolis events.
Perhaps for the United States, the real challenge has never been external China, but whether it can get out of the inertia of history and adapt to a world that is no longer dominated by unipolarity.
