Chapter 1080 A Window
The suicide of Roh Moo-hyun in May 2009 and the resignation of Hatoyama in May 2010 are not without similarities. The former promoted the Sunshine Policy, while the latter tried to leave Europe and join Asia. They had one common feature, which was the need to "de-Americanize". As a result, they either died a miserable death or stepped down miserably. In these two events, the Americans did not appear in public, but their influence behind the scenes was shining.
Since 2008, China has successively welcomed three major events, the Olympic Games, the 60th anniversary celebration, and the World Expo, as well as many interference events: riots in two border provinces in the west, and two separatists, a man and a woman, obviously received huge support from the United States; the United States pressed forward step by step in the east sea, and there were continuous confrontations between patriotic fishing boats of China and spy ships of the United States in the South China Sea and the Yellow Sea.
Obviously, the confrontation between Chinese fishing boats and US spy ships is a relatively direct form of friction, without the presence of a third country. In 2010, the United States, which was unable to cope with the situation, began to rely more on the power of proxies: strengthening military alliances with East Asia and South Korea, and conducting multiple high-level military exercises with the two countries; high-profile involvement in the South China Sea dispute, US aircraft carriers visiting Vietnam, and large amounts of aid to the Philippines, trying to win over ASEAN to internationalize the South China Sea issue; inviting India to participate in East Asian military exercises, selling large amounts of arms to India, and trying to make India implement the US containment strategy of China by strengthening US-India cooperation, this is also one aspect.
In short, in recent years, the United States has been strengthening its containment and containment of China along the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea and Indian Ocean in the Western Pacific, especially in 2010, when this containment became more and more blatant and unscrupulous.
Faced with this severe situation, if China does not take effective countermeasures as usual, does not enrich the connotation of "hiding one's strength and biding one's time", and does not take effective countermeasures in line with the times, then the containment of the United States will proceed smoothly, step by step, and the surrounding countries will cooperate with the United States and take the opportunity to erode China's interests when they see that China has no major reaction. In such a situation, it is unrealistic for China to confront the United States in a high-profile manner. If the two sides enter a cold war state, then China will walk into the Soviet trap arranged by the Americans. Therefore, China needs an outbreak point, not a full-scale outbreak.
If we want to find the outbreak point, we need the right place, time and participants. Obviously, there is no place more suitable than Diaoyu Island (far away from the mainland, not endangering the main political and economic regions and sea shipping channels of China, located in the common interest convergence area between the mainland and Taiwan, and within the key coverage of China's military power), no country more suitable than Dongyang (because the lack of a correct historical perspective has burdened China with historical baggage, it is highly dependent on the Chinese market, and lacks the political confidence of a normal country), and no time more suitable than September (the 79th anniversary of the September 18th Incident, the 65th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Fascist War, and the Russian President's visit to China to jointly emphasize the historical perspective of World War II). In this context, Diaoyu Island is not just an island, but a point of competition among the surrounding major powers, which has a far-reaching impact on the situation in the entire East Asia. Therefore, after Dongyang dared to challenge China's bottom line and illegally detained Chinese fishermen and ships, China's continued high-profile response is very necessary.
From a realistic point of view, China's high profile on this incident not only warned Dongyang, but also warned the United States, and also deterred several countries in Southeast Asia that were ready to move. Because it was just a point of entry and outbreak, there was no need to worry about the situation getting out of control. China did not lose its rationality as a great power when it was high-profile, and it also left room for flexibility to restore normal relations with the East Asian country. After all, what China ultimately wants to solve is the territorial issue between the two sides, not to eliminate the East Asian country. China's real competitor in East Asia is the United States, not the East Asian country.
The country has a relatively clear idea on this point, and Zhao Jianhui also knows it.
The United States hopes that China and East Asia will keep a farther distance than the United States and East Asia, and is willing to see that the relationship between China and East Asia is relatively tense, but it will not be happy to see the high tension between the two countries because of the Diaoyu Islands issue.
On the one hand, this issue is the root of the trouble planted by the United States. If a military conflict breaks out between China and East Asia because of this, while the two sides jointly oppose the East Asian country, the United States, the initiator, cannot stay out of it. If there is a large-scale conflict between China and East Asia because of the Diaoyu Islands, the United States obviously cannot continue to stand behind East Asia and incite, and must put the issue on the table with China to solve it. The sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands and the surrounding waters not only involves the relationship between China and East Asia, but also involves Taiwan.
If the United States dares to support East Asia on the sovereignty position, on the one hand, it will be strongly resisted by China, and on the other hand, it will undoubtedly push the two sides to move closer. If Taiwan and the mainland establish military mutual trust and cooperate in territorial disputes, then the chain carefully built by the United States in the Western Pacific will become a tofu dregs defense line.
If the United States does not support East Asia on the issue of sovereignty, then East Asia has no courage and confidence to confront China. Under the impact of the financial crisis, the United States and East Asia, two brothers in distress, cannot have too stiff a relationship with China.
Therefore, the diplomatic tension caused by this incident will not develop to an unmanageable level, which is one of the reasons why China has always maintained a high profile in this collision.
So, if China continues to take a tough stance on this ship collision, will it further push Japan into the U.S. camp and harm China's interests? Even Zhao Jianhui believes that Japan itself is a country in the U.S. camp, and pushing it closer has nothing to do with the overall situation. On the contrary, it is a country that is even more difficult to deal with when China and the United States are still very different from each other.
If Japan breaks away from the constraints of the United States and China does not have an advantage over Japan, then Japan, whose ambitions cannot be controlled rationally, may either harm the peace of East Asia or raise a higher price for China. Even harder to deal with. If China wants to establish an order that suits its own interests, it must first strengthen its own strength, rather than poaching the other side's corners.
The most fundamental reason why China maintained a moderately high profile after the ship collision was not to prepare for war, but to gain time for continued development.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but smile bitterly. Speaking of which, it was because his country was not strong enough, or because the gap with the United States was too big. And allowing himself to take advantage of the opportunity of injury to stay shows that China has not closed the last window. It's not a door, just a small window! !
Therefore, fearing that Zhao Jianhui might not understand something, Liu Zongchang specially emphasized the four words "rest in peace". I just don’t know what the top brass will think after knowing what Zhou Wanyi, Zhao Xiaoting and others have done?
When he thought of this, Zhao Jianhui remembered that there were still a bunch of ruthless people that he had not had time to restrain.
"Where is Tu Xiong? What is Chen Wu doing here?" With this sentence, he was asking Yuan Yiyi, who was holding the child and pretending to be a good person. Sure enough, Yuan Yiyi rolled her eyelids and said calmly: "How do I know? These things are Chen Wu's own business. The big deal is just two gangsters taking advantage of others. What's the big deal?"
Her words caused Zhao Jianhui to have a black line on his forehead: "What's the big deal? Do you think other people are pig-brained? Can't you figure out the reason for this?"
"So what? Anyway, those people are considered illegal immigrants when they cross the border. Who knows who they are? I won't be willing to die if I don't say this. If you dare to assassinate my husband, you must pay the price. What is this? Hong Dao Hui, I must destroy it..."
I really didn't expect it. I thought that this girl's temper had improved in recent years, but who knew it was still the same as when she was young. "You...you think you can destroy the Hongdao Society?" Zhao Jianhui said to himself, are you not afraid of Feng Da's tongue flashing? What kind of organization is the Hong Dao Association? You can destroy it if you say it will be destroyed?
When Zhao Jianhui asked this question, Yuan Yiyi couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said "cut" with disdain. Seeing the way she was holding the child in her arms, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help but feel dizzy. He looked at Long Lingyun who was sitting aside, but the Zhao family lady was sitting calmly and silently. This made Zhao Jianhui scratch his head. Scratched his scalp. It seems that Yuan Yiyi is not the only one who wants to take a bad breath.
"Well... tell me Tu Xiong's contact information..." He uses a satellite phone, so he doesn't need to change his number no matter what country he is in. But Tu Xiong's phone is not. Domestic calls cannot receive signals in Japan.
"What are you doing? I don't know..." Yuan Yiyi snorted unconvincedly. However, just as she was talking, her phone rang. After answering, Yuan Yiyi said to Zhao Jianhui with an unreadable expression: "Do you really want to drive Tu Xiong and Chen Wu back? Is this the case? "
"What else can we do? With so many people, how can you outnumber the army and police of other countries? I really don't know how high the sky is..." Before Zhao Jianhui finished speaking, Yuan Yiyi snorted and then said to Long Lingyun : "Sister Long, I just received a piece of news..."
Long Lingyun looked at her a little surprised, and said to her heart that no matter what, the head of the family is sitting in front of you, what do you mean? If he is really angry, do you think I can protect you?
"Sister Long, it's like this. Just now Sun Liyun said that a woman named Michiko Ikeda was arrested, and a child over three years old was also arrested..." Yuan Yiyi said while looking back at Zhao Jianhui face...
