Editor's note: For a long time, in order to maintain its own hegemonic position, the United States has imposed its political system and values ​​in people, promoting "democratic transformation", inciting the "color revolution" worldwide, and the legacy government's legal government's free infiltration and subversion, causing The catastrophe consequences have become the greatest destroyer in the world peace and stability. China ’s view of China has launched a series of reviews of the“ Strategic anxiety of American hegemony ”, unveiling the veil of American hegemony, and recognizing the hypocrisy behind it.

As we all know, the United States, as an hegemonic country in the international community, has always been keen to suppress the rising country or "challengers", such as the Soviet Union and Japan, the difference is only to suppress the way. After the end of the Cold War, with China's rapid development and rise, the United States has gradually identified China as "the primary strategic competitors" and "the only willing to reshape international order, and have the ability to achieve this goal through economy, diplomacy, military, and technology. nation". In this context, the United States has launched rounds of public opinion, strategic curb and diplomatic enclosure to China. "Small circle", discrediting and destroying the "Belt and Road" initiative.

The reason why the United States has intensified to curb and suppress China in all directions is from the strategic anxiety of hegemony countries for the rising country. The United States' strategic anxiety about China mainly comes from three aspects:

The first is the anxiety of China's strength. After more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China not only has a total economic volume in the world, but also has greatly improved military strength, scientific and technological strength and international influence, becoming a "all -around player" that is different from the Soviet Union and Japan in the eyes of the United States. In contrast, although the United States is the world's largest power and its comprehensive strength is still developing, the speed and trend are obviously not as good as China. As a result, the gap between China and the United States has narrowed rapidly.

The second is the anxiety of China's strategic intent. Based on the rise and expansion of Western powers since its own and modern times, the United States has believed in the "national strength". It is believed that after the rise of China, it will inevitably seek hegemony, and it will inevitably challenge and damage the US hegemonic position.

The third is the anxiety of the Chinese model replacing the American model. For a long time, for the majority of developing countries, almost the only choice to achieve national modernization and national rejuvenation is the Western model, especially the so -called "Washington Consensus". However, practice has proved that the Western model does not have universal nature. Many developing countries that copy the Western model not only have not achieved modernization, but have fallen into the "strange circle" of economic stagnation, social contradictions, and political turmoil. At the same time, the institutional disadvantages faced by the United States itself are becoming more and more obvious, and they are suffering. In this context, China's development experience has proved that the Western model is not the only way to modernization, and it also provides another choice for developing countries to modernize. This is also an important reason for the United States to attack China's political system and development model in recent years.

Those with vested interests are always worried about their own interests, and the state of hegemony will always worry about losing the status of hegemony or the decline of hegemony. However, the United States' strategic anxiety about China and its processing methods have seen the wrong object. It uses the wrong way, and there are serious logical errors.

First of all, the country is not as strong and weak. In the history of human development, especially in modern history, the rise and weakness of large powers is the norm. China's development and rise are in line with historical laws. The relative decline in the comprehensive strength of the United States can only find the cause from itself, not to blame other countries.

Secondly, China will not take the road of strengthening the country. Since ancient times, China has advocated "strong or not weak, wealth does not insult the poor", "Concorded Wanbang", knowing that "the country is big, it will die". The concept, even if it is strong in the future, will not dominate the expansion. The U.S. expansion Zeng's future choice based on its own expansion competence will inevitably draw a wrong conclusion.

Third, countries around the world have the right to choose their own development path. The loss of attractiveness in the US model is not China's fault. The fault and fading of the Western model, especially the "Washington Consensus", indicates that the Western model is not a solid medicine that is not allowed to be in four seas. The majority of developing countries, whether choosing an American model, a reference to the Chinese model, or other development paths, are the right to develop their own development, and they should be respected. It is obviously wrong to discredit the Chinese model.

In fact, the development and rise of China is not only a threat, but an opportunity for the United States. Although there are huge differences in the historical traditions, basic systems and development stages, both China and the United States have huge differences, but the two countries have complementary economic and trade, close personnel, and huge room for common interests and cooperation. Taking economic and trade as an example, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1979, the trade volume of the two parties has increased by more than 250 times, and two -way investment has risen from almost zero to nearly 240 billion US dollars. According to statistics, Sino -US economic and trade cooperation supports over 2.6 million jobs in the United States. The average trade between the two countries saves about $ 850 for each American households. $ 700 billion.

It can be said that China's development is strong, bringing obvious interests and well -being in the United States, not threats. At the same time, in response to regional and even global challenges, such as preventing diffusion, anti -terrorism, climate change, and response to large -scale epidemic diseases, China and the United States also have the needs and necessary cooperation between China and the United States.
