[2020-07-23]为什么中国似乎不再害怕美国的军事力量了？

Hank Barley Mastered Coding, Then Traveling For Business (1982-present)
China works on an evidence base approach to issues. Since the founding of the modern day China, it went to war against America (plus allies) in Korea, guaranteed the survival of North Vietnam, witnessed how committed the US is/was in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, and from that knows the US cannot win in a long dragged out war that required stationing troops in long occupations. I’m expecting the red meat eating Americans to retort that the American Military has much better weapons, technology, logistical, etc., the continuing with a long list of apple to orange type of comparison and argument. Indeed, I will agree with most of that. However, that does not answer the question posted. That’s because China never did and probably never will want a global fight with America. It is not the Chinese culture to have a conflict for sake of a conflict. Chinese prefer not to fight, but must win if needed to be.

中国采用于以证据为基础的方法来解决问题。自从现代中国成立以来，它曾在朝鲜与美国(及其盟友)开战和保证了北越的生存，见证了美国如何在阿富汗、伊拉克和叙利亚犯罪，中国由此知道，美国不可能在一场需要长期驻军的旷日持久的战争中取胜。我期待着那些吃红肉的美国人反驳说，美国军队有更好的武器、技术、后勤等等，接着就是一连串从苹果到橙子的类型的对比和争论。事实上，我同意其中大部分观点。然而，这些并没有回答提出的这个问题。这是因为中国从来没有，也可能永远不会希望与美国进行一场全球战争。在中国的文化中不会为了冲突而产生冲突。中国人不喜欢战斗，但必要时必须赢。

The Japanese paid a heavy tuition in WW2 by invading China proper, with its military leadership promising a 6-month victory that turned into a 10-year slugfest that exhausted its economy, and eventually led to the attack of Pearl Harbor, so that Japan can get its hands on natural resources owned by European colonialists and the US. China tied down the majority of Japan’s army, and Japan wasn’t a weak country militarily.
One would think that McArthur would’ve learned from Japan’s mistakes as a conqueror, but his hubris got the better of him. He defied presidential order and ventured toward China’s border, much believing that China is bluffing in her warning of not having foreign power occupying her territory again or share a border. When he got his ass handed to him, he appeal for the use of nukes. Glad he was canned. It’s obvious he did not care much for humanity. My point here is not to degrade America’s military, but to make a point that from 1950 - 80, those are the years that China is at its weakest. if past presidents didn’t want to get tangled up with China then, why would current and future presidents want to mess with the current China that is 2nd in economic power that is responsible for 1/3 of the world’s productions, possess respectable military hardware, and even surpass America in certain technologies.
The direct answer to the question is that China does not have to beat America at battlefields far from home, but just to defend against an American invasion or blockade. With that role, China is more than capable of doing so with an increasing modern and sizable army. China will not seek a fight, but why should she be afraid?

日本在第二次世界大战中付出了沉重的代价，入侵了中国本土，日本的军事领导层承诺六个月就能取得胜利，结果却演变成了一场持续十年的激战，耗尽了经济，最终导致了偷袭珍珠港，这样日本就可以获得欧洲殖民者和美国拥有的自然资源。中国牵制了日本大部分的军队，而且日本在军事上也不是一个弱国。
有人可能会认为麦克阿瑟会从日本作为征服者的错误中吸取教训，但是他的傲慢战胜了他。他不顾总统的命令，向中国边境铤而走险，很大程度上是因为他相信中国警告“不让外国势力再次占领她的领土或共享边境”是在虚张声势。当他被完全击败的时候，他呼吁使用核武器。很高兴他被解雇了。很明显，他不怎么关心人性。我在这里的观点不是要贬低美国的军事力量，而是要指出，从1950年到1980年，是中国军力最薄弱的时期。如果过去的总统不想和中国纠缠在一起，为什么现在的和未来的总统想要和现在的中国纠缠在一起呢? 现在的中国是世界上经济实力第二强的国家，拥有世界上三分之一的产量，可观的军事装备，甚至在某些技术上超过美国。
这个问题的直接答案是，中国不需要在远离本土的战场上击败美国，而只需要抵御美国的入侵或包围。有了这个角色，中国更有能力通过不断增加的现代化和规模庞大的军队来确保做到这点，中国不会寻求战争，但她为什么要害怕呢？

Peter Talbot Worked 30 years as a trade specialist in marine logistics.
MIlitary might is not merely an extension of strategic (nuclear) or tactical (drones, etc.) hardware. Military expenditures and preparedness must be backed by political will to see any potential engagement through, which is always difficult in a republic or democracy where public opinion and short attentions spans are susceptible to change and vulnerable to evolving propaganda from many sources.
America has for more than 100 years only been able to effectively project force in situations where the American citizenry is mobilized and fever-pitched to “win” political objectives, and has failed whenever the projection of force is deemed tactical without a clear measure of “victory”.
Unless China declares an unlimited war against a major ally or the US itself (as opposed to a proxy or trade conflict), the strategists in both Beijing and Washington DC both know that American military might is no deterrent to action.

【回答】在海运物流方面做了30年的贸易专家。
军事力量不仅仅是战略(核武器)或战术(无人机等)硬件的延伸。军事开支和准备工作必须有政治意愿的支持，以确保任何潜在的接触得以完成，这在一个公众舆论和注意力短暂的共和或民主国家，总是很困难的，因为这些国家很容易改变，很容易受到许多各个方面不断演变的宣传的影响。
一百多年来，美国只有在动员美国公民，并狂热地追求“赢得”政治目标的情况下，才能有效地投射武力，而每当投射武力被认为是战术性的，而没有明确的“胜利”标准时，美国就失败了。
除非中国宣布对其主要盟友或美国本身发动一场无限制的战争(而非代理人或贸易冲突)，否则北京和华盛顿的战略家们都知道，美国的军事力量对行动没有威慑作用。

Xiaoming Guo Born, lived and worked in China.
Because China had Mao. After WWII, the US supported Chiang by providing Chiang the most advanced weaponry in the Chinese Civil War. The result of the war is the Loss of China. The US also lost the Korean War to China, lost the Vietnam War that was aimed at China. The US supported India at the Chian-India border war in 1962 and was also lost.
China is the only country that has had wars with superpowers and wins. America and the Soviets never fight head-on-head during the cold war. They had conflict only in proxy wars. Their most head-on conflict is the 1962 Cuba missile conflict. China, on the other hand, fought wars with the American army at the Korea war and with the Soviets army at Sino-Soviet border conflict.
The history is that the US never wins when it is against communist China. Red China never lost to superpowers in military wars, be it the US or the Soviets.
China is no longer afraid of the American military might since 1949. Mao is not afraid of American military might even since the US dropped the atomic bombs in Japan.

【回答】在中国出生、生活和工作。
因为中国有毛。二战后，美国支持蒋介石，为蒋介石提供了中国内战中最先进的武器。战争的结果是失败了。美国在朝鲜战争中也输给了中国，在针对中国的越南战争中也输掉了。1962年，美国在中印边境战争中支持了印度，但也失败了。
中国是唯一一个与超级大国发生战争并取得胜利的国家。美国和苏联在冷战时期从不正面交锋。他们只在代理人战争中发生冲突。他们最直接的冲突是1962年的古巴导弹冲突。另一方面，中国在朝鲜战争中与美国军队交战，在中苏边界冲突中与苏联军队交战。
历史告诉我们，当美国对抗共产主义中国的时候，它从来没有赢过。红色中国从未在军事战争中输给超级大国，无论是美国还是苏联。
自1949年以来，中国不再惧怕美国的军事实力。毛并不害怕美国的军事力量，即使美国在日本投下了原子弹。

That's nice, it's good to have a positive outlook, but China would do well to remember that should they try to take on the American navy they will get a curb stomping the likes of which they will never forget.

【回复】很好，有乐观的见解很好，但是中国应该记住，如果他们试图挑战美国海军，他们将得到他们永远不会忘记的教训。

John Liang
The American would do well to know that after a couple of trillion were spent in Iraq and Afghanistan they have little to show for their 20 years effort in those two wars. Didn’t GW Bush said he would never negotiate with Taliban and less than 20 years DJ Trump was trying to negotiate peace with the terrorists.

【回复】美国人应该知道，在伊拉克和阿富汗花费了几万亿美元之后，他们二十年在这两场战争中的努力几乎没有得到什么回报。乔治·布什不是说过他永远不会与塔利班谈判吗，而在不到二十年的时间里，特朗普一直努力与恐怖分子进行和平谈判。

Ke'Aun Charles African-American Cosmopolitan
I don’t think China was ever afraid of American military power.
Excepting the Eight-Nation Alliance
America has never had a military issue with China in the pre-CCP period.
When the CCP took over China they almost immediately went to war with America over Korea, this right after decades of internal war and a Japanese invasion.
Excepting a few crazy people like MacArthur, America has never shown an interest in direct conflict with China, and China has never shirked from one.

【回答】非洲裔美国人，全球主义者
我不认为中国曾经有害怕过美国的军事力量。
除了八国联军那时。
在中共执政前的时期，美国从未与中国发生过军事纠纷。
当中共执政的时候，他们几乎立即就在朝鲜问题与美国开战，这是发生在经历了几十年的内战和日本侵略之后。
除了一些像麦克阿瑟这样的疯子，美国从来没有表现出与中国直接冲突的兴趣，中国也从来没有逃避过。

Chang Zhao
China, like many other country in this world, is very very much afraid of American military might.
For god’s sake. US could just ‘label’ China is being aggressive and hence must be taught ‘actions have consequences’. or China is changing from defensive to offensive hense we must send USN to their coast to stop them./s
They have the nerve claiming such things.

【回答】
中国，和世界上其他许多国家一样，非常害怕美国的军事力量。
看在上帝的份上，美国都可以直接给中国贴上“好斗”的标签，所以美国必须教育他们“必须为行为承担后果”。或者中国正在从防御转变为进攻，我们必须派美国海军到他们的海岸去阻止他们。（狗头）
他们居然敢说出这样的话。

Read “art of War”.
Not the recent translation, but the 19th century ones. You’ll realize we’ve allowed China to all but defeat us using the principles of Tsun Tsu. We’ve destroyed our own social institutions. We are constantly distracted by the glitz, chatter and banal essence of our “pop culture”.Morals, long gone.
Our cities burn, people destroy for trhe sake of destruction.
Economy? We handed that over to China in exchange for cheap crap at *Wal-Mart.
China doean’t need to defeat us. We’ve done that for them. The soldier only needs to draw his sword to let the peasantry know there’s “a new Sheriff in town”.

读读《孙子兵法》。
不是最近的译本，而是19世纪的译本。你就会意识到，我们几乎被中国利用孙子兵法打败了。我们摧毁了我们自己的社会制度。我们经常被我们所谓的“流行文化”的浮躁、喋喋不休和平庸的本质所分散注意力。而道德，早已荡然无存。
我们的城市在燃烧，人们为了毁灭而毁灭。
经济? 我们把它交给了中国，换取沃尔玛的便宜货。
中国不需要打败我们。我们已经自己动手了。士兵只需要拔出剑，让农民知道“镇上来了一个新的治安官”。

Sam Zbib Engineer, Observer, Skeptic, Reductionist
It’s more likely in my opinion that China is no longer afraid of US economic sanctions.
Military? Chinese have had multiple indirect encounters with the US (Korea, Vietnam). After which, China as a non player in major world military conflicts.
If the Chinese change that policy and decided to become a major player in world conflicts, then they’ll need to worry about a confrontation with the US military. it’s probably a chicken-egg question., but they’re not there yet.

【回答】工程师，观察者，怀疑论者，还原论者
在我看来，中国更有可能已经不再害怕美国的经济制裁了。
军事方面？中国与美国(在朝鲜、越南)有过多次间接接触。在那之后，中国作为一个世界主要军事冲突中的非参与者。
如果中国改变了这一政策，决定成为世界冲突的主要参与者，那么他们将需要担心与美国军队的对抗。这可能是个先有鸡还是先有蛋的问题，但是他们还没到走到那一步。

Flawed question, please point out since when did China ever afraid of America? Your confident feelings doesn't necessarily meant another's fear.
As far as post WW2 is concerned, US never won in Korea and surely lost in Vietnam. So, in recent histories, when had China been afraid of the US?

【回答】
这是个有问题的问题，请指出中国从什么时候开始害怕美国了？你的自信并不一定意味着别人会恐惧。
就第二次世界大战之后而言，美国在朝鲜战争中从未赢过，在越南战争中也肯定输了。那么，在近代历史中，中国什么时候害怕过美国呢？

Rui Zhang a student who major in Chinese History and English
To be honest ,some Chinese people are very afraid of the US ,but they were called gongzhi or meifen which means people favored the US customs and laws etc.
There are many kinds of industries in China. We have not given up on the development of any one industrial category. There are many things in our country that can be produced and supplied by ourselves.
This also gives us an absolute advantage in the competition, because the competition between the two countries will inevitably cut off trade issues.
Those countries that are subject to human beings are just because their production capacity is not strong enough to produce on their own, but China is completely different. We have a wide range of industries, and the total amount of export trade is increasing every year, which also means that our country The influence in the international community will be greater and greater. It is definitely not an easy task to sanction China. The most important thing is that we never put key technologies in the hands of others.

【回答】主修中国历史和英语的学生
说实话，有些中国人非常害怕美国，但是他们被称为公知或者美分，意思是这些人喜欢美国的习俗和法律等等。
中国有许多种工业。我们没有放弃任何一个工业类别的发展。我们的国家有许多东西可以自己生产和供应。
这也给了我们在竞争中的绝对优势，因为两国之间的竞争将不可避免切断贸易。
那些受制于人的国家，只是因为他们的生产能力不够强大，不能自己生产，而中国完全不同。我们有广泛的产业，出口贸易总额每年都在增长，这也意味着我们的国家在国际社会的影响力将越来越大。制裁中国绝非易事。最重要的是，我们从不把关键技术交到别人手里。

I think the main reason is that the United States has dominated the world for too many years. People have been used to the world dominated by the United States, and people are afraid to have a new leader. It's all because of habits.
China's geographic location and land area are destined to be a powerful country. As the military strength continues to increase, the United States is scared. It fears that its status is not guaranteed, so it takes China everywhere to talk about things. It is only a matter of time before the United States is called the world’s largest country. The laws of China’s history also prove that when Country is strong, it loves to fight. Nowadays, the dependence on foreign resources is increasing, and the demand for land is also increasing. 1.3 billion people have to eat. Domestic food alone cannot meet the demand. New energy has not yet been successfully developed, and the demand for energy is becoming more and more important. If you have more land, you can have more exploitable places. Who knows what treasure is hidden underneath. China’s accumulated resources are now sufficient to fight a national-level battle, but new weapons are not enough to counter the US military power, especially the navy. History proves that whoever has strong maritime power is the boss.

我认为主要原因是美国已经统治世界太多年了。人们已经习惯了美国主导的世界，人们害怕有一个新的领导人。这都是因为习惯，包括我们的思维习惯。
中国的地理位置和国土面积注定要成为一个强国。随着军事力量的不断增强，美国感到害怕。它担心自己的地位得不到保证，所以它谈论事情处处带着中国。美国曾被称为世界上最强大的国家只剩时间问题了，中国的历史规律也证明，当国家强大的时候就好斗。目前，中国对国外资源的依赖程度越来越高，对土地的需求也越来越大。13亿人需要养活。单靠国内食品无法满足需求。新能源尚未成功开发，对能源的需求正变得越来越重要。如果你有更多的土地，你可以有更多可开发的地方。谁知道地下藏着什么宝藏。中国积累的资源现在足以打一场国家级别的战役，但新的武器不足以对抗美国的军事力量，尤其是海军。历史证明，谁拥有强大的海上力量谁就是老大。

Kevin Rivernorth PhD in material science from Chinese Academy of Sciences (2016)
The answer is related to two factors: 1. Where the war breaks out? 2. Tactical nuclear weapon. I will analyze as following.
* Where the war breaks out?
The Pentagon conducted some military simulations at some hot spots near China, such as Taiwan, South China Sea. The results are very negative to the USA.
Of course, you can say this is cliché of the Pentagon for getting more funding from the US Congress. However, it has been a common sense that the US Army cannot defeat China near the borderline of China. Please check the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The US lost both!
So, how about the US Navy? There is a piece of side evidence showing the US navy really concerns the possible loss near the China border. On July 12, 2016, Chinese and American navies confronted each other in the South China Sea (SCS) because of the South China Sea dispute. The United States has used the two aircraft carriers "Reagan" and "Stennis", about 10 destroyers, and about 150 fighter jets of all kinds. But the Navy even dares not to enter the South China sea, as shown in the following picture. From the picture, you can see the Navy dares only send three small destroyers, but keep Reagan and Stennis out of the disputed area. Most ships of the fleet stay out of the SCS with the Philippines Islands as the shield. After that confrontation, Philippines and other SCS-related countries turned to China until now.

【回答】中国科学院 材料科学博士(2016)
答案与两个因素有关: 1、战争是在哪里爆发的？2、战术核武器。我的分析如下：
* 战争在哪里爆发？
五角大楼在中国附近的一些热点地区进行了一些军事模拟，如台湾、南中国海。其结果显示美国非常负面。
当然，你可以说这是五角大楼从美国国会获得更多资金的陈词滥调。然而，美国军队不可能在中国边界线附近打败中国，这是一个常识。请查一下朝鲜战争和越南战争。美国两场战役都输了！
那么，美国海军如何呢？有证据表明美国海军真的担心在中国边境附近可能造成的损失。2016年7月12日，中美两国海军因南海争端在南海发生冲突。美国已经派出了两艘航空母舰里根号和斯坦尼斯号，大约10艘驱逐舰和大约150架各种战斗机。但是海军甚至不敢进入南中国海，如下图所示。从图片中你可以看到，美国海军只敢派遣3艘小型驱逐舰，但却不让里根号和斯坦尼斯号进入有争议的海域。舰队中的大多数舰船远离南海，以菲律宾群岛作为护盾。在那次对峙之后，菲律宾和其他与南海有关的国家转向了中国，直到现在。


In conclusion, the US military force may have unacceptable results if the cold war because hot war! Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t say the military force of China is stronger than that of the US. I just mean that it can be unpredictable and risky at the hot spots near China.
2. Tactical nuclear weapon.
Nuclear weapons are definitely an option when it comes to the naval battles because the consequences of nuclear weapons used on water surfaces are very different from those used on lands: no radioactive dust, no destruction of massive cities, no loss of civilian lives. The ccp has defined the victory of wars as the most important thing of this regime, as Xi said “determine the survival of the Army and the Party”.

总之，美国军事力量如果因为冷战而陷入热战，可能会发生无法接受的结果。别误会。我没有说中国的军事力量比美国强。我的意思是，在中国附近的热点地区，情况可能不可预测，也可能很危险。
2. 战术核武器。
在海战中，核武器绝对是一种选择，因为在海面上使用核武器的后果与在陆地上使用核武器的后果是非常不同的：没有放射性尘埃，没有大规模城市的破坏，也不会牺牲平民。中国将战争的胜利定义为政权最重要的东西，正如所说的“决定存亡之时”。

The Net international investment position (NIIP) is the difference between the external financial assets and liabilities of a country. External debt of a country includes government debt and private debt. Publicly and privately held external assets by a country's legal residents are also taken into account when calculating its NIIP. A positive NIIP value indicates that a nation is a creditor nation, while a negative value indicates that it is a debtor nation.

在过去的几十年里，每年有亿美元流入中国国库，然后被用于收购美国资产。美国对此无能为力，只能维持现状，而特朗普则吹牛打民粹牌。
净国际投资头寸（NIIP）是一个国家对外金融资产与负债之间的差额。一个国家的外债包括政府债务和私人债务。在计算净国际投资头寸时，还考虑了一个国家的合法居民公开和私人持有的外部资产。正的净国际投资头寸值表示一个国家是债权国，而负的净国际投资头寸值表示该国是债务国。

Carlos E. Martínez Martínez former Political Economics, Filmmaking
Why would they be? They are defeating the USA in the economic war declared by Trump. And it’s on the way to becoming one of the greatest world powers.
There’s no risk of military war, whatever any US citizen may say or think. If there’s a war it would be an atomic one, which would mean the end of the world, and there’s no way at all the USA could defend themselves against it. Total destruction.
So no matter if the US army, navy or air force capability is superior: it wouldn’t matter. If the Chinese see they are being defeated in those areas they will strike with missiles.
That is why they are not afraid.
That doesn’t mean they want such a war, the problem is the USA accepting they will have to step down from the place they are down, and share power with China. The problem is the USA, not China.

【回答】前政治经济学，电影制作
他们为什么要这样？他们正在特朗普发起的经济战中击败美国。它正在成为世界上最强大的国家之一。
不管任何美国公民说什么或想什么，都不会有发生军事战争的风险。如果发生了战争，那将是一场核战争，这意味着世界的末日，而美国根本没有办法防御它。彻底毁灭。
所以，无论美国的海陆空三军实力是否强大，都无关紧要。如果中国人看到他们在这些地区被击败了，他们会用导弹进行打击。
这就是为什么他们不害怕的原因。
这并不意味着他们想要这样一场战争，问题是美国是否接受他们将注定从所处的位置退下来，并与中国分享权力。问题在美国，而不是中国。

Sylvain Saurel inbitcoinwetrust.net (2019-present)
China is frightened by the prospect of a military war against the United States.
But the United States is just as afraid of China in reality.
China has become so powerful today, that a war between the two powers would be long and dangerous for both sides.
The United States and China actually have no interest in waging a military war in which both sides would come out the losers.
History in Europe has shown that in this type of war, it is always a third country that emerges victorious. If China and the United States were to fight each other militarily, other countries would eventually take over world leadership.
The United States and China will not get into this kind of war.
Their war will be limited to the economic and political realm.

【回答】
中国害怕对美国的军事战争。
但实际上，美国也同样害怕中国。
中国今天已经变得非常强大，以至于两个大国之间的战争对双方来说都将是漫长而危险的。
美国和中国实际上没有兴趣发动一场双方都会输的军事战争。
欧洲的历史表明，在这种类型的战争中，总是第三国取得胜利。如果中国和美国要在军事上互相对抗，其他国家最终将接管世界的领导权。
美国和中国不会卷入这种战争。
他们的战争将局限于经济和政治领域。

But in the long run, we must realize that the United States will lose its total domination. China will continue its rise to power.
The world will become bipolarized with two world powers of equal importance.
The other powers such as the European Union, China, or India will have to find their place in this bipolar world in order to have a global influence.

但从长远来看，我们必须认识到，美国将完全失去它的支配地位。中国将继续崛起。
世界将变得两极化，有两个一样重要的世界大国。
欧盟、中国或印度等其它强国，将不得不在这个两极世界中找到自己的位置，才能拥有全球影响力。

What can America do to China?
Sanction her? If that is even possible, welcome to financial Armageddon and the greatest depression in recorded history.

中国是经济活动的一个巨大节点。
数十亿人依靠她的经济健康为生。
这包括美国人。
从股市到亚马逊和沃尔玛的商品，中国涉足的领域很广。

美国能对中国做什么？
制裁她? 如果可能的话，欢迎来到金融世界末日和有史以来最大的经济萧条。
发动战争? 中国拥有全套的“相互确保摧毁”的威慑力量。
那么传统战争呢? 美国会在哪里发动? 朝鲜? 日本? 他们可不想在废墟上重建家园。
欺负和威胁她，让巨人的脚步慢下来？这正是美国今天所做的。从华为到武汉，再到CNN整天瞎嚷嚷的“邪恶共产主义间谍”。
中国可以受伤。
中国可以放慢脚步。

America is a great power.
China is an indomitable power.
