Chapter 11 China's Choice, G4 or G27 (5)
Rebuilding the cohesion of the Chinese people is nothing more than two routes.One of the routes is to effectively establish a lofty ideal of "ism" among the people.The second way is to effectively and comprehensively realize the thought of "Three Represents" so that the interests of the people and the interests of the country can be truly linked.

When it comes to the relationship between national interests and the interests of the people, it is necessary to involve the issue of China's GDP.When it comes to GDP, we have to mention the hidden dangers of "high GDP".It is not surprising that China's GDP now ranks second in the world.Looking back at China's history, some scholars say that China's GDP was the first in the world during the Qing Dynasty. In fact, China's GDP was already the first in the world as early as the Song Dynasty.

Sima Guang described in "Xunjian Shikang" that during the Song Dynasty, "soldiers were dressed like soldiers, and farmers walked on silk shoes".

During Song Zhenzong's time, the prime minister Wang Dan said that among the merchants in Kaifeng, it was common to find those with property exceeding 10 guan, and it was not uncommon to see those with property exceeding one million guan.However, although the Song Dynasty was economically developed and rich, it was only a "cake" for a few people.In Huizong of Song Dynasty, due to the lack of distinction between officials and businessmen or the collusion between officials and businessmen, the people at the bottom of the society were exploited layer by layer, and the polarization was serious.Song Huizong's endless "Huashi Gang" and Cai Jing's "Birthday Gang" for senior officials have long aroused public grievances, so the rebellion of Shuibo Liangshan and Fang La's uprising appeared.Due to the corruption of the Song Dynasty, when it faced the Mongolian invasion, the whole country "soldiers were not brave and officials were not obedient", and finally the country was ruined and the family was destroyed.Compared with the Song Dynasty, although the Mongolians are poor, everyone of them knows that this war is for their own benefit, so they are naturally a hundred times braver than the Song people.

In this section, a lot of military issues, that is, the issue of power, are discussed. The main purpose is to explain that a rich country is not necessarily a strong country, and a strong country is not necessarily a rich country.As long as the militaristic imperialist countries exist, China's national defense must be impregnable; in the face of foreign provocations, we must have the courage to fight back.Only in this way, we China will not crawl at the feet of the United States like other countries, living without integrity.We must have Mao Zedong's determination and backbone that "in a big deal, we will win the Liberation War a few years later", so that the world can marvel at China's courage.

§§§Section [-] China's ambition is not only to be the leader of Asia
Although China has not completely stood up in the world, its influence has spread to every corner of the world.With China's current rapid development speed, becoming an important member of the international club in the future is no longer a guess, but an inevitability.The question now is whether China can become the leader of the world.

If China wants to become the leader of the world, it must first be the leader of Asia.Because any world-class leader must be the leader of his region. Without the support of the region, there will be no ability to lead the world.This is like the politics of a country. If a person wants to run for president, he must join a party. Only with the help of the party can he succeed in the election.After a person is elected president, he must have the support of the party to successfully fulfill the president's mission.If you just run for president as a free person, it is very difficult to succeed; even if the election is successful, after being elected president, without the support of the party, its downfall is inevitable.For another example, when China returned to the United Nations, it did not rely on its own strength, but on the "African brothers who carried us in".

Asia now has three and a half major countries, namely China, Japan, India and Russia.Since Russia straddles the two continents of Europe and Asia, and has always considered itself to belong to Europe, its status has not been determined, and it can only be counted as half of the countries in Asia.China, Japan and India are of pure blood and are authentic Asian countries.

Although Japan is of pure blood, it regards itself as noble and is unwilling to associate with other Asian countries.Therefore, in Asia, only China and India can really compete for the leadership position.Both China and India are the soul countries of Asian culture. In the cultural blood of all countries in East Asia, there are genes of the cultures of China and India.Especially India, whose culture maintains a high degree of independence, is basically "original ecology"; even China, an ancient civilization like India, has the blood of Indian Buddhist culture in its culture.

The integration of cultures has not brought harmony among countries. In the conflict of interests, the relationship between Asian countries used to be very tense.At the same time, Asian countries have one of the biggest characteristics, that is, they will never give up in the face of strength and never admit defeat; unless they live in peace, they will fight to the end.From this point of view, Western countries, including the United States, appear to be very spineless.In the United States, a soldier's surrender is not considered a disgrace, but in Asia it is something that will never be looked down upon.

It is this character of Asians that makes a small country like Vietnam dare to challenge China for its own interests.With the expansion of ASEAN to 10 countries and the expansion of the League of Arab States to 22 countries, Asia has formed a four-legged pattern including China and India, maintaining a fairly stable situation.The status of Arab countries in Asia is very special. Although they are in Asia, the relationship with other Asian countries is very strange, as if the relationship between "well water" and "river water", so the Arab League and other Asian countries and organizations seldom happen. relation.In addition, there is a Mongolian country, which is as silent as if it does not exist in Asia.Therefore, in Asia, Southeast Asia is a self-contained body, consisting of China, India and ASEAN.

China's current situation is still keeping a low profile, and has not stated clearly that it will be the leader of Asia; while India is posing as if it wants to be a superpower in the world.Since India has never forgotten the "trauma" it has given to China in history, it insists on making China its enemy, so it is also favored by the United States, Russia and Western countries.India has purchased a large number of weapons from Russia, the United States and France, and has accelerated its march towards becoming a superpower.If India really launches a war against China, it will be the largest testing ground for the weapons of Russia, the United States and France in the world.India may be able to become a superpower, but with its current ideology, it is impossible to be the leader of the world, let alone the leader of Asia.

The ally is different from the overlord.The leader is the leader of the alliance, and the alliance is formed by the alliance parties. The leader assumes leadership responsibility for the economic development of the alliance countries; while the hegemony uses violent means to make the countries in a certain region surrender, and then carry out the punishment on these countries. Predatory, it bears no responsibility for oppressed nations.Therefore, if we want to be the leader of Asia, we must help and contribute to the prosperity of the Asian economy.Therefore, with India's current economic structure and strength, it is impossible to take on this important task.Looking at Asia, only China has the strength to lead Asia's economic prosperity.

With China's current economic aggregate and scale, it is easy for Asian economies to prosper, and China is willing to make its own contribution to this end.But China's aspirations are by no means limited to being the leader of Asia. Its aspirations should be more and higher, and it should make more contributions to the prosperity and development of the world economy.In fact, China has already contributed to the recovery of the world economy.At present, 1/4 of the world economic growth is created by China, which is a strong evidence of China's contribution to the world economy.

Being the leader of the world is not so easy.The leader must first have a "team" to support him, and he must also have his own "home court".China is a free country and does not participate in any alliance in Asia, which greatly affects its position in the world.If a powerful country does not represent the interests of any group of countries, it can only be a powerful country, not a leader.If China wants to become the leader of the world, it must first become the leader of Asia. That is to say, China must join an alliance in the Asian region.However, it is difficult for a big country like China to join any Asian alliance.The small countries in Asia have all been oppressed by Western powers in the past, so they will unite together in sympathy to resist the invasion of powerful powers.Faced with the goodwill of China, the largest country in Asia, they naturally have to be afraid and stay away.Even so, Asian countries must expand their cooperation and find a leader who can lead them to prosperity, or they will all be in a difficult position.If China wants to join these alliances, it must solve two problems: first, it must establish trust in various Asian alliances; second, it must first conduct effective cooperation with these alliances.China is doing work in these areas.If China fails to achieve these two goals, the future world will become a bipolar world composed of Europe and America, and Asia will be marginalized.If the contradictions among Asian countries cannot be effectively resolved, then these contradictions are enough to ruin the future of Asia.Fortunately, Asia has China, and China has the ability to ensure that Asia will not be marginalized. The key question is whether other countries in Asia can accept China.

In addition to the above-mentioned problems, if China wants to become the leader of Asia, it also needs to solve a major problem, which is the improvement of relations with India.The conflict between China and India is somewhat similar to the conflict that once occurred between Germany and France.Germany and France used to be irreconcilable mortal enemies. Their grievances began in the Napoleonic period, and after the Franco-Prussian War, the First World War, and the Second World War, the grievances became deeper and deeper.The Franco-Prussian War, that is, the German-French War, was a war fought by Prussia in order to unify Germany and compete with France for hegemony in the European continent.The war, started by France, ended with Prussia winning and establishing the German Empire.In order to prevent France from retaliating, Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck adopted an alliance policy to encircle France.Later, due to the Sarajevo incident, Germany declared war on Russia and France, triggering the First World War. After more than four years of fighting, it finally ended with Germany seeking peace.In World War II, although Germany occupied France, the final result still ended with Germany's unconditional surrender.The struggle for hegemony between France and Germany has caused both sides to suffer, and their international status has been greatly reduced.For this reason, France and Germany learned from the painful experience. French President Charles de Gaulle said: "One day, it is possible to reach a direct and practical agreement between the German people and the French people... Will there be a Europe in the future? Let's see if there will be a direct agreement between the Germans and the Gauls." In September 1958, de Gaulle held talks with West German Chancellor Adenauer.This meeting became the beginning of Franco-German reconciliation. In January 9, France and Germany signed the "French-German Cooperation Treaty". So far, the relations between France and Germany have achieved complete reconciliation.On the other hand, the grievances between China and India were mainly caused by the dispute over border demarcation, which led to a military conflict in June 1963.In military conflicts, China has always controlled the scale of the conflicts and prevented the military conflicts from turning into wars. Therefore, it is enough to stop and automatically return to the side of the border before the war after victory.India has always been brooding about its defeat by China, thinking it is a great shame, so it has been actively preparing for the war, thinking about fighting China again to save face.

When is the time for retribution?China fully understands India's mentality, and has been actively discussing with India how to resolve the border issue between the two countries peacefully. In August 2009, China and India signed the Declaration on Principles of Sino-Indian Relations and Comprehensive Cooperation.In the declaration, both China and India stated that they would "discuss the framework for resolving the border issue from the political perspective of the overall relationship between the two countries."The grievances between China and India are much lighter than those between France and Germany. As long as both sides have the desire for peace, it is entirely possible to resolve the conflicts and continue the traditional friendly relations between China and India.

If the relationship between China and India is resolved, the stability of Asia will be guaranteed.Only in this way can China concentrate on economic affairs in Asia and lead the Asian economy towards prosperity.If Asia achieves economic prosperity under the leadership of China, Asia will face the world with one voice, then China can advance to the world as the leader of Asia, compete for the position of leader of the world, and make greater contributions to the world.
