German experts claim that they do not believe China can surpass the United States. The expert stated that China has many problems, and the American century will continue! On July 2nd, German strategic expert Markus Zuber said that China seems to be moving away from its dream of replacing the United States as the number one superpower. Real estate crisis, partial overcapacity, and a decreasing birth rate are internal weaknesses that are hindering China's development momentum. China still appears strong, but the problems are evident.
The expert said that the United States has a flexible system, a vibrant culture of innovation, and especially the ability of political self-correction. This fundamental difference in adaptability will determine who can win the geopolitical competition. Obviously, from the expert's argument, it is very clear that the expert clearly looks down on our development. However, we want to say that we have never taken surpassing the United States as a goal.
Certainly, we are now facing various internal and external challenges, but which country in the world does not face challenges? Does the United States not have its own internal problems? But the key is whether we can face the problems and solve them. In fact, the various issues raised by the expert are being addressed. The United States indeed has innovation capabilities, but our competitiveness in high-tech fields is increasingly strong, which is an undeniable fact.
The expert believes that the United States has the ability to correct itself, which may be true. But the question is why successive U.S. governments have been powerless against the issue of U.S. debt? If the so-called ability to correct itself means that the U.S. policy-making is not rigorous and lacks continuity, thus always needing correction and swinging back and forth? In fact, some experts have stated that when it comes to the stability and continuity of policies, the U.S. has obvious shortcomings and is not good at long-term planning, which is one of America's challenges.
In contrast, whether it is our "Made in China 2025" or the "Belt and Road" strategy, we have been continuously and steadily promoting them and achieving success. We do not avoid our own problems and reject malicious pessimism. If the expert believes that the United States can rest on its laurels, we would like the expert to persuade the United States not to engage in malicious suppression against us. Obviously, what is important for us is to do our own things well, and the U.S. plot to contain us is bound to fail.
