Germany's "Business Daily" August 27 Article, Original: (European and China) Cold War Show the lessons between conflicts between the West and the Soviet Union show that we should not fight against China.
Some people regard China's recent regulatory interventions as part of the trend of the United States to strengthen the monitoring of large-scale technology companies. Others treat it as a measure of management data, otherwise the data may be utilized by Western. The most logical explanation is that the Chinese government's actions are part of the comprehensive strategy of the United States to China - this development may bring serious global consequences.
Although the economic and strategic relationship between China and the United States has long been deteriorated, few people believe that this confrontation will evolve into the geopolitical confrontation during the cold war. For a long time, the United States has been highly dependent on China, and the economic link between the two countries is very close.
The cold war is shaped by three interrelated factors. First, maybe it is the most important, it is an ideological competition. Then the military level, this is especially obvious in the nuclear military competition. In addition, two groups are eager to play leadership in science, technology and economy. Most of the open confrontation of the Cold War is possible because the US and the Soviet Union are detached.
Now, under the push-to-conflict of diplomatic diplomatic diplomacy, the conflict between China and the United States has become a modern class ratio of the cold war confrontation. Western continues to praise their democratic values (including all defects), China is confident in the world, especially in Asia and Africa.
At the same time, competition in the economic and science and technology fields have become more intense in the past decade. The two sides are competing for the dominant position in the field of artificial intelligence, as well as the advantages of digital technology, life science, cutting-edge electronics and semiconductor. The Biden government began combining the US investment focus with competition from China.
It is true that many success during the Cold War is because of the Soviet Union as an opponent. "Artificial Satellite Impact" pulls the West closer. Even so, the cost of narrow today is also much higher than the potential benefits of "new artificial satellite impact". Global cooperation is critical in today's mutually intertwined world. Competition with China is not the only priority in the West. Climate change is also the threat to our civilization and needs close cooperation in countries.
Modern critics often ignore the huge price of the Cold War. Western is no longer a particularly trusted human rights and democratic advocate, such as decades in the Middle East for decades, and overthrowing people in Iran and Guatemala and other countries.
Today, we face the challenge of looking for peaceful coexistence patterns. This mode can promote the competition between uncomfortable worldviews, and on the other hand, it can cooperate in geopolitical issues and should work on climate change. Europe and China should not be involved in the Cold War conflict.
