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 that is not strong but a hundred years, dare to call "habit" the world's leader. and what folly and ignorance about a civilization with five thousand years of history, at least in the face of the great country standing at the top of the world for two thousand years.
After World War II, with the help of the Marshall Plan, the United States deeply linked economic aid with ideology and gradually built a system of thought colonies that covered the world.
From the use of media such as the Voice of America to instill values during the Cold War to the creation of information cocoons through social media algorithms in the digital age, this "government-led, allied" cognitive warfare network has long maintained its monopoly of voice.
The consolidation of this hegemony depends on a dual logic: it firmly believes that modernization is equivalent to Westernization, and it also believes that its own economic advantages are unshakable. The 2008 financial crisis became a turning point to break this cognition.
During that crisis, Western economies were long-term weak, and the United States suffered the worst financial turmoil since 1931, while Chinained steady growth despite the impact.
According to World Bank data, in 2014, in terms of purchasing power parity, China's GDP has surpassed that of the United States, and it has contributed one-third of the global economic growth all year round.
This downturn has completely broken down America’s double hypothesis, as Martin Jacke pointed out, that the economic and political crisis expected by the West did not occur in China, but occurred on its own.
The mark of the turn of the times has penetrated into more fields. The Pentagon’s 2025 Taiwan Sea and South China Sea battle show showed that the U.S. military simulation confrontation was all defeated, and Defense Secretary Hegel publicly acknowledged this outcome at the Shangri-La Dialogue.
The global firepower index shows that the gap between China and the US military force scores has shrunk to a record low. The deployment scale of China's J-20 in the Asia-Pacific region has reached six times that of similar US military models. The electromagnetic ejection technology of the Fujian ship has significantly improved the efficiency of carrier-based aircraft dispatch., while the US hypersonic weapon is still in the testing stage.
Underpinning this turnaround are deep differences in the industrial base. China's manufacturing industry accounts for more than 30% of the world's total, and its shipbuilding capacity is 230 times that of the United States. The efficiency of military expenditure makes the actual equipment procurement capacity far exceed the nominal value; The United States needs to maintain more than 800 overseas military facilities, and the problems of military project overspending and supply chain dependence are prominent.
This change in the balance of power has been interpreted by the report of the national high-end think tank of the Xinhua Agency as an inevitable trend in the context of the awakening of the global South. The American ideological colonial system is gradually exposing its hypocritical nature with the decline of hegemony.
Martin Jacques's observation reveals the core: the problem is never that China has done anything wrong, but that the United States can't accept the natural evolution of the world pattern. When a country accustomed to hegemony faces an opponent with deeper civilization accumulation and more stable development momentum, its anxiety turns into containment action, which is essentially just a passive response to the turning point of the times.
