你過獨木橋,我走陽關道

According to reports, Thomas L. Friedman, a famous columnist in the New York Times, wrote an article entitled "A Biblical Seven Years", looking back on 2008 The changes in China since then were published in the newspaper on September 10, 2016, and attracted widespread attention. I skimmed it twice and found the content bland; although his position was fair and objective, his understanding and understanding of China still lacked historical depth and realistic breadth.

However, the author of the article pointed out that it is very interesting that China and the United States are taking different development paths: "China has been busy with the preparations for the Olympics, and the United States has been busy with al Qaeda; China has been building better stadiums, subways, airports , roads and parks, while the U.S. has been building better metal detectors, armored vehicles, and drones.” “The differences are starting to show, compare arrivals at New York City’s dingy, old LaGuardia airport with Shanghai’s new international airport. As you drive to Manhattan, you'll see how dilapidated the infrastructure is along the way. And experience Shanghai's 220-mph maglev train, which uses electromagnetic propulsion technology instead of ordinary steel wheels and tracks. In the blink of an eye, you have arrived in downtown Shanghai." (Note: This is just the application of German Siemens technology in Shanghai, and the Chinese are not impressed; what is worth talking about should be the cause of today's high-speed rail technology in China.)

In fact, it is not surprising to us that all this is just common knowledge in contemporary history. Today, even Trump and Biden have to openly admit that the hegemonic global strategy pursued by the United States has cost the people and money, harming others and harming itself, making its own airports, subways and other infrastructures outdated and reduced to third world countries. level. On the contrary, in the past two decades, China has attached great importance to the planning and construction of infrastructure, and has made great strides into the ranks of the first world. Whether it is airports, seaports, telecommunications, or high-speed rail, subway, high-speed, they are all very modern and large-scale, and they continue to expand and improve. "China speed",

 "Chinese standard", how can it not be impressive?

As the saying goes: "the road is facing the sky, go to one side", "you cross your single-plank bridge, and I follow my Yangguan Road". The result? It seems self-evident. What is more worth mentioning is that when Obama chanted "returning to the Asia-Pacific" and engaged in a "rebalance to the Asia-Pacific", Xi Jinping openly "made a plank road" and reclaimed seven islands in Nansha at an alarming rate. To a certain extent, the sovereignty of the South China Sea has been strengthened. At the same time, it is quietly "crossing the old warehouses", building comprehensive seaport terminals in Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Djibouti, Greece and other countries, and building itself into a super shipping power, which is equally impressive.

     Back then, in order to prevent the invasion of the Xiongnu, Qin Shihuang connected the original Great Walls of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period to form the famous "The Great Wall of China", but it was still a last resort "crossing the single-plank bridge". Today, more than 2,000 years later, in order to prevent the "invasion" of foreign immigrants, Trump has actually issued an immigration ban against seven Muslim countries while building a high wall on the more than 2,000-kilometer border between the United States and Mexico. Is this move creating The Great Wall of America and immortalizing itself? We don't know, we'll just have to wait and see.

In my opinion, Trump, who lacks political common sense, may not know: the construction of the wall is not smart, even a bit stupid. The Chinese have already discovered this, so they have adopted the strategy of "building roads before getting rich".

 The "road construction strategy" is to build various Yangguan avenues, which have achieved significant economic effects in China, so they went abroad and promoted it to all countries in the world. In 2013, Xi Jinping proposed the "One Belt, One Road" grand strategy. The "Silk Road Economic Belt" on the land is based on the construction of high-speed railways, connecting the Asian and European countries along the road with China; the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" is based on the construction of modern multi-functional seaports and joint Countries have jointly developed economy and shipping to strengthen economic and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries! Only a few years have passed, but initial results have been achieved, and it seems that the future is bright and bright.

"You cross the single-plank bridge, I will take the Yangguan Road", Xi Jinping's idea or strategy, I think its inspiration comes from the strategy repeatedly emphasized by Mao Zedong in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression: "You hit you, I hit me"! In fact, this is related to national conditions . The national conditions of authoritarian China and democratic America are indeed quite different, and it is worth comparing. For example: after decades, Xi Jinping climbed the stairs step by step to the top of the building of state power; Trump is a politician who suddenly appeared and landed on the top of the building of state power in a jack-up. What's the difference between the two? What's more interesting is that the first lady of China is a famous singer in military uniform, and the first lady of the United States is a famous model who is naked. Of course, the two ladies are both artists who want to embody "beauty", but the former "doesn't love red makeup and loves armed", the latter once "doesn't love red makeup and loves no clothes", and there is only one word difference between the two.

In short, the national conditions determine that China and the United States will continue to go their separate ways, adopting completely different game strategies, whichever is wiser

 What a fool, the result will be known within this century
