Under the rule of Khubila Khan during the AD 1279, the Chinese were judged and dominated by foreign powers. The early experience of China's foreign government left a bad taste of economic colonialism in his mouth. The autonomous regions and concessions that held the sovereignty of China invited forced trade and drug warfare. The territory was lost and the treasury was exhausted to compensate the winner for war compensation. Historically, China suffered from the power of foreign countries, exposing the weakness of the industry and the vulnerability of the state. Once delegated, self-esteem becomes doubtful, the sense of inferiority of the state permeates into the consciousness of China.
Today, China possesses approximately 2.3 million soldiers (as opposed to 1.4 million Americans in the United States) and relatively reliable nuclear weapons, but China is already in the modernization of security forces to counter this A nationwide psychosis that has achieved one "great leap"
There are two ways to think about China's regional and global intentions. The first proposal is that China is not vague. What she's never adventured, being out of her for demands, what she can communicate in this field is without regional stability and interference, regional / global threats It is to make her a regional / global threat. "... [B] A wise policy is at risk of producing self-achieving prophecy, China is an enemy and it is one "(Ross 33)
Secondly, China always suggests revenge in mind with historical insults and ultimately the evil / atheist determination which dominates the world. All shifts that she makes in policy, strategy, or economy must keep this intention in mind. "... [C] Motivation to improve the feelings of Central America, even enthusiasm is not a strategic one, it is a tactical gesture. Beijing adjusted the opposition rhetoric and retreated from some of the most frustrating actions in Washington. .. & # 39; For a relatively long time, we will quietly need a sense of retribution. General of the Beijing Military Academy's Vice Commander, Mi Zhenyu wrote. & # 39; We need to keep time and keep time. "(Bernstein / Munro 20)
In order to further this goal, China has made every attempt to gain the technological advantage that the United States may provide for military portfolios. For this purpose, a spy act, a suspicious act, a Chinese campaign donation, not a misconduct, and the White House column 5 reflects a discreet political spirit. In response to this savage political corruption ripple, the opposition party has linked the image of the Manchurian candidate with a mysterious Chinese as the main character of the Queen of Diamonds.
Under such circumstances, the doubts are diverse and it is difficult to evaluate the military behavior of China. The compass of her ship has two objectives. Is China 's military buildup justified as the power of the region, or is there a global ambition? Does the military power of China match her strategic interests, does it represent a threat or legitimate growth? The crucial answer to these questions is the need for Houdini's skill and perseverance of Creskin. However, choosing between the two positions may cause an assumption that may lead to reasonable conclusions.
Position 1 has hypothesized that China has remained at its border for centuries and never posed a threat to neighbors. The Great Wall, built to prevent Mongolian hordes from introducing China, has demonstrated her defensive posture. In addition, China has historically avoided contact with the outside world, despite the desire for trade and exploration capabilities with the open ocean, even if they are exploring. China's egoistic thinking can be discreeted by her name, the Middle Kingdom. Once all the roads were connected to Rome, I believed that China was simply the center of the world that does not need to escape from the coast.
Ironically, since China enjoyed a solitary position that did not want the expansion of the empire, she unconsciously made himself open to a foreign devil trying to spread the tentacle of the world. The opium war in the 1840s was such an example. British people suffering from trade imbalance due to insatiable appetite for Chinese tea (through the holding company of East India) aims to create such demand by adding sufficient people to readily manufacturable substances , For trade; reverses the tragic trend of trade surplus trade deficit. When China caught this drug trafficking in British opium, her inferior junk was not consistent with an excellent British frigate of steam promotion, resulting in the defeat of the Chinese emerging fleet. As a punishment, the Chinese were arranged to compensate the UK, pay a hundreds of millions of dollars fee, transfer and control Hong Kong to the UK.
In 1860, due to the loss of the Kowloon Peninsula (UK), Northern Amur River and Eastern Ussri (Russians), China was forced to lose the humidification area. China's weaknesses to protect her territory were exposed by Japanese when the two countries collided with the Korean Peninsula in 1895. As a result, the territory of China has shrunk further from the loss of Taiwan, the Pescadoland Islands, the new world. All these territories were lost during the Dark Period Qing Dynasty from 1644 to 1911.
Being wise from these historical insults, China is ready to adapt to the military power to be a conqueror. Position One Promote China's military augmentation / modernization program as defensive and reasonable, not to present regional / global threats, especially in the past humiliation. It is burdened by quantitative and qualitative inferior weapons of China.
Estimated that China is militarily spending between 24 billion and 87 billion dollars a year (depending on the complex calculation method), the constitutional pacifists (Burnstein and Keijzer 2) and if If China passes quality control, the laughter test is uncertain. Is China's military expenditure the most affected by its benefits? "When Taiwan conducted a missile test in the Taiwan Strait with a transparent effort to threaten Taipei in 1996, the serious danger was obsolete military supplies," Robert Ross says. Since the missile was very primitive, there is a possibility that it got out of the course and hit Taiwan. & # 39; Mr. Ross adds that China's state-of-the-art domestic production fighter, F8-11, is equivalent to a US fighter in the late 1960s. Even this primitive airplane is not yet fully in production. The Su-27 aircraft is not much advanced in exports from Russia than what the US is selling to Taiwan and Japan is far less advanced than what it collaborates with the United States for defense. Problems caused by poor maintenance ... Some people believe that China is trying to develop aircraft carriers, but developing and equipping even one vintage aircraft of the 1970s will take ten years. "(Burnstein and Keijzer 2)
The above quotes suggest that China is far behind with sophisticated weapons, not only relating to Japan, Taiwan, and smaller regional countries, but also especially the United States. China can not apply the military know-how of the first world to strategic violence. What is the modern war experience in China? In the 20th century there was a battle between India in 1962 and Vietnam in 1979. There, she was able to win every object and victory. What are the modern military strategies she adopted in these theaters related to the first world power, besides her predictable old-fashioned humanitarian attacks? And what does the power of the sea, the acceptable navy have? "The Chinese Navy has lost fight with Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia in this area, all of which have advanced American aircraft or Bristish aircraft" (Ross 37) In which navy battle she has her courage Did you demonstrate? "China lacks the ability to continue military operations over 100 miles from China's coastline and Malaysia.
Early conversion to the 21st century shows that China has made major technological progress in so-called lower armies. She also has a rapidly growing space plan with a very subtle name and message for the booster rocket. Long March symbolizes a historic year-long march to Mao Zedong and the mountains where the Army escapes Chiang Kai-shek and the Army Soldier tags defeat the army and reorganize and maneuver more modern equipment army. In order to demonstrate that China has improved its military capability for the first time in history, China made it possible to establish a military plan far away from the coast that detained the abandoned Soviet aircraft carrier. China was able to modernize in terms of economic and military, military. For the time being, she seems to be satisfied with improving the defense capability, making money and improving the quality of people's lives at the same time.
