In his speech to MPs, Xi Jinping, speaking about the threats posed by the United States, also added the following: “Western countries, led by the United States, are pursuing a policy of containment, isolation and repression of China by any means possible. , which has already created unprecedented challenges for the development of our country.”
US attempts to “contain” China are seen in Beijing as a threat to sovereignty, writes Resalat. Xi Jinping has already called for increased military preparedness, and the United States, in turn, is playing with fire, provoking the largest army in the world.
It seems that in recent days, the Chinese authorities have largely moved away from their previous cautious behavior in the system of international relations and have become more open and frank in responding to direct and indirect threats to their national and regional sovereignty from States. United, diary notes.
To some extent, the behavior of the Chinese authorities is a reaction to tactical and short-term US threats against China’s national security. But more importantly, they are a response to the famous “road map” drawn up by Washington and its allies in East Asia, which aims for a complete containment of Beijing. It is this strategy that explains the persistence of the United States in cultivating tension in Taiwan, the Tibet region, Hong Kong and the South China Sea.
According to Euronews, Xi Jinping said on Wednesday that China should “create a strong strategic deterrent force system, increase the presence of combat units in new areas and in new capacity, and carry out more military training campaigns. thorough”. As you can see, provoking the largest army in the world, which is the People’s Liberation Army of China, can become quite a dangerous business, and attempts to push this army into a corner can have very dangerous consequences.
China’s defense budget has nearly doubled over the past decade. The Chinese army, as you know, is the largest in the world: its permanent forces number more than two million people. Moreover, China has the largest number of warships. The country has the largest missile and air force in the Indo-Pacific.
In his speech to MPs, Xi Jinping, speaking about the threats posed by the United States, also added the following: “Western countries, led by the United States, are pursuing a policy of containment, isolation and repression of China by any means possible. , which has already created unprecedented challenges for the development of our country.”
Everything Xi Jinping said takes on even more significance when you consider that tensions between the United States and China have escalated dramatically in recent years. The two countries have fundamental disagreements with each other, mainly with regard to Taiwan, also with regard to Beijing’s policy towards Hong Kong and – above all – with regard to the continuation of the military conflict and the ways of a peaceful settlement in Ukraine and, at the same time, concerning Beijing’s support for Moscow in the Ukrainian conflict. Here, the differences between Beijing and Washington become more acute, writes Resalat. It seems that these differences become even starker than one might imagine.
Besides the constant anti-China rhetoric that has intensified over the years of the COVID-19 pandemic, US officials have done their best to wage direct economic warfare with China, only to see a growing trade deficit in trade relations with the Asian nation. And this problem has forced the Americans, already under President Biden, to use other methods than trade and economic warfare to hit China, the most important of which is to increase the level of economic and political blockade of China, which can only lead to China’s response.
