“Today, the debate over who we are and what we stand for has once again left us divided at home and chaotic internationally. We find it difficult to muster the necessary strength at home to face the challenges at hand.” – Kissinger

What is the current situation in the United States? Former Secretary of State Kissinger, who will be 100 years old in three months, is very clear. Accusing the US political establishment of failing to show “domestic cohesion”, warning that the US cannot afford the consequences of isolation. At this moment, he no longer modifies his words, and stated frankly that the United States faces three major challenges: 1. China’s ambitions; 2. Russia’s special military operations against Ukraine; 3. Unrest in the Middle East.
Kissinger issued a stern warning about the instability of the world political situation and the incoordination of the United States being caught in excessive democratic election political infighting. He said that the “most destructive weapon” that exists in the world, besides nuclear weapons, is artificial intelligence. It is clear that there is only one Chinese AI technology that the United States fears.
In 2018, Japan’s “Sankei Shimbun” reported on China’s advantages with a series of special topics. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in a lecture that “whoever can lead artificial intelligence technology can dominate the world”, and China is considered to be the first to master the “Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems” (Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems, LAWS) – a mass-destructive war machine system that uses perception devices and computer algorithms to identify targets, attack and destroy them, without human control.
The United States does not expressly prohibit the use of LAWS, although many countries strongly oppose it. At present, there is no report that the United States owns LAWS, but in the face of the threat from China, it is estimated that the United States has made every effort to catch up with the research and development. At the same time, the United States has imposed a comprehensive embargo on semiconductor chip technology to China, explaining that it is preventing the PLA from developing artificial intelligence projects.
Technology is getting better and better, and the United States is getting more and more chaotic. It is indeed hard to feel at ease. As the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, Kissinger put forward a hypothesis of “avoiding war”, which is that everyone works together to maintain the “hegemony” of the United States. He used Reagan to lead the United States to the most glorious days of economic diplomacy and military. He said that Reagan never wavered in his belief that the United States is the most secure and prosperous when it becomes the leader who shapes a stable world. The United States now “needs another Reagan.”
Obviously, China was pointed out by Kissinger as the first of the three major challenges. The subtext must be spoken to us. If the world wants to have peace, China must maintain the leadership of the United States. Of course, the Americans themselves have to strive for unity, but this is not a necessary condition, because when the three major challenges are settled, and there are no problems from China, Russia, and the Middle East, the two parties in the United States will no longer use the “China threat” to make peace As for Russia and the Middle East, there is no need to even discuss it. Bipartisan cooperation is already very busy talking about “dividing fields and land” for these two fertile soils of world resources.
Reagan served as president from 1981 to 1989. During his term of office, the “peaceful evolution” of the Soviet Union was very successful. In 1991, this huge Cold War opponent collapsed. This period is a history that Americans are proud of. However, today’s America is not the same America, and there is no such Soviet bloc in the world anymore. Does Kissinger still use Qu Yuan as his self-examination to invoke the soul of the United States?
It seems that the United States will not be the Chu State of the year, and China is powerful but not as good as the Qin State that “captured 16 cities and beheaded 50,000 people”. To be sure, it is only reasonable for China and the United States to really engage in relaxation of win-win coexistence as you suggested. If there is no need for a war between China and the United States, please don’t challenge us too much and insist on fighting. I suggest you review the history of Chu State in the Warring States Period, and you will understand!
