There is something to say, "There is no eternal enemy, no eternal friend, only eternal interests." It is impossible for countries to be in a state of hostility forever. When there are common interests, two life and death enemies can also shake hands and make peace in an instant. When each other's interests are threatened, close brothers can also instantly tragically.

The relationship between China and the United States is the best explanation. To this day, although peace and development are the themes of today's world, the open and secret struggle between my country and the United States still exists, not only in terms of military strength, but also in terms of territorial suppression and decisive battles in terms of resources. The war between China and the United States seems out of reach, but in fact it is very likely that it is near.

Intensifying relationship

In recent years, China's development has been seen by the United States. China's multi-faceted takeoff after the reform and opening up has made the United States feel uncomfortable and its opponents that were once ignored have to be taken seriously.

Especially China's many cooperative ideas, such as the Belt and Road policy, are introduced to drive and develop the economies of backward countries along the way, strengthen the ties with China, and thus achieve common progress, which is equivalent to China providing them with experience and then promoting the development of these countries.

But this move is a kind of act of wining over the United States, and is actually to challenge the United States' hegemony. Therefore, the United States has also begun to make progress, weakening China's technological development in many aspects, such as suppressing allies, restricting some high-tech means, and even encouraging its allies to target China.

The more provocative behavior is that in order to limit China's rise, the United States has taken many strategic measures in neighboring countries, such as deploying THAAD in South Korea in the early years to monitor our country's territory, and in recent years, it has deployed a brand new missile system in South Korea. Even the South Korean media said very arrogantly that once the war begins, it can directly bomb Qingdao and Beijing in China.

This is no longer a secret fight, but an open and direct provocation. Judging from the current situation, the United States has adopted political, economic and diplomatic means to restrain China in various aspects, thereby ensuring its dominance in Asia.

In order to deal with China's naval power, the United States proposed the "Asia-Pacific rebalancing" strategy. It seems to be a redeployment of military strength, but in fact it is to change the proportion of the US navy's allocation. Anyone knows that the focus of the US naval power in the Asia-Pacific region is actually to restrain China's development and strength.

Judging from the current situation, Japan, South Korea and other countries, as close allies of the United States, all have military bases from each other. Ironically, these military facilities established on other countries are all in the hands of the United States. Once war begins, these Asian countries may even lose their military dominance.

After basically preparing, the United States has begun to conduct frequent military exercises in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, etc., and even vaguely formed an encirclement of China.

With the encouragement of the United States, the original and attitude became stronger and the country's attitude became stronger, forcing our country to spend energy to solve these problems. The reason why the United States does this is mainly to distract China's attention and resources so that it can have more dominance in the war that may break out at any time in the future.

These obvious measures have intensified the dispute between China and the United States, which has led to the increasing possibility of direct conflicts between the two countries. Therefore, it is not a very distant thing to go to war between China and the United States. When the conflicts between the two sides are irreconcilable, another large-scale war may come.

Multi-field competition

In fact, the first two world wars have left a very deep impression on people, which is an indelible lesson.

At the beginning of the 20th century, due to the different time when major capitalist countries completed the industrial revolution, the production model of large machines needed more overseas colonies to support it. Therefore, the later capitalist countries launched a world war to plunder resources. This war changed the pattern of the colonies and finally ended with the defeat of Germany and other countries.

People who survived by chance in the war thought they could enjoy peace in a short period of time, but they never thought that just a few decades later, the emergence of fascism led to the outbreak of World War II, which was larger in scale and more developed weapons to be put into the battlefield. All countries in the world were involved in this war, which ended in 1945.

Since the bipolar pattern disappeared with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States has not dared to be too presumptuous due to the restraint of other emerging emerging countries. With the third scientific and technological revolution, the world ushered in a long-term peace situation, but no one can guarantee that the Third World War will not break out.

Judging from the current international situation, the conflict between China and the United States may trigger a new round of war in a short period of time. In today's highly developed science and technology and economy, the war between the two countries will be unprecedented in many fields. It is not only a competition in military strength, but also a competition between the hard power of multiple countries.

The first thing to start is the Sino-US trade war. This battle between the two countries directly affected the global commodity supply chain, and at the same time damaged the economies and trade of the two countries.

After all, after years of development after the war, a global free trade environment has been formed. After long-term development, trade cooperation and friendly exchanges have been formed. This is true between China and the United States. Just like the US aircraft manufacturing industry, a considerable number of them adopt global supply chains and need to be purchased and processed around the world.

After the trade war began, China and the United States did not drag on the slightest, and directly imposed tariffs of more than 25% on imported goods. The collision between the two major powers will directly break the balance of global free trade. Even the entire supply chain system and supporting global logistics services will affect the whole body, resulting in serious problems.

You should know that China and the United States are both the world's leading manufacturing powers. When both sides can self-sufficient in their important items, once a trade war begins, the interests of the two countries will be damaged, and secondly, countries in the world that maintain cooperation with China and the United States need to bear greater losses.

After all, once a trade war begins, other countries need to take sides. After selecting one side, the other side's trade supply chain will be broken, thereby intensifying conflicts and triggering more intense conflicts. The trade war is the beginning of Sino-US competition. It seems very far away, but in fact it is close to you.

In today's era with highly developed digitalization, our every move is linked to trade. Many daily commodities come through trade. Once the two sides start a war, trade will naturally be the first to bear the brunt.

Possible endings

Since the two countries are going to war, large-scale military conflicts will surely break out on the basis of the trade war. In terms of the geographical location of the two countries, this battle between China and the United States may have two consequences. China's offshore area is unstoppable, while the United States has a huge advantage in the ocean area.

We cannot ignore the strength of the US military. After all, since the end of World War II, the United States has established an unprecedented hegemony mechanism worldwide. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has been the only superpower in the world. With the resurgence of its economy in recent years, it is undoubtedly the richest country in the world.

Therefore, the United States' military strength cannot be underestimated. It has strong ocean-going combat capabilities and mutual cooperation between sea, land and air allow the United States to accurately strike any location in the world, which is also the ace method to make the United States the hegemon.

Once conflicts and wars occur between China and the United States, it will definitely be dominated by a vast ocean battlefield. The US aircraft carrier fleet has absolute advantages and its powerful long-range strike capabilities are very terrifying, which is also the core force of the US naval warfare.

The previous Gulf War is a sufficient example, and after this incident, the United States has still strengthened and improved its military and now has absolute control over the ocean.

Of course, the US military also has certain shortcomings in this situation. In recent years, frequent wars and provocations have been launched, and even mobilized the army to provide support to other countries, which not only consumed a lot of military expenditure, but also increased the burden of its logistics supply.

In addition, the long-term operation of military equipment will also lead to equipment aging, which will make the update speed completely unable to keep up with the aging speed, which will also lead to the weakening of combat capabilities.

As the saying goes, one-time effort will decline again, and three-time exhaustion will occur. American soldiers originally emphasized individual heroism. After maintaining a vigilance for many times, their overall morale and combat capabilities will also decline.

Judging from the recent war situations of the United States, the overall combat status has not been updated in time. It only follows the orderly step by step. The internal command system is very rigid and the army has a lack of adaptability. Over-reliance on high-tech equipment and ignoring individual soldiers' qualities is also one of the biggest drawbacks.

In terms of command, there are often differences in strategic coordination during operations in the United States, which directly affects combat efficiency.

Moreover, China is no longer the same as before. With the development of military and technology, naval operations in the offshore areas are never inferior to anyone. At the same time, China has also made important breakthroughs in new emerging military technologies such as artificial intelligence and cyber warfare. If the two sides really start fighting, it will be no problem to fight with the United States.

So under the current environment, the more conflicts and the fiercer the competition between China and the United States, the more likely the war will break out. The international situation changes rapidly. The war may seem far away, but maybe it is near.
