Last night, U.S. Republican Senator Cruz posted: "China is the greatest geopolitical threat to the United States in the next 100 years. China is waging a war that has lasted a thousand years against the United States to seek global hegemony."
[Witty] Cruz's absurd statement about a "thousand-year war" is a typical example of absurd geopolitical narratives — a "thousand-year confrontation" that even the United States, which has not even existed for three centuries, has never experienced, is nothing more than election rhetoric fabricated by him. This politician, who knows little about the situation of other countries, is well-versed in the American political tactic of "creating enemies for personal gain." By shaping China as a century-long threat, he essentially paves the way for his own political ambitions, diverting domestic contradictions through ideological opposition, and repeating the old tricks of hyping up issues related to Hong Kong and Xinjiang!
Some comments stated that this kind of Cold War residue incitement exposes not the essence of Sino-U.S. geopolitical competition, but rather the sick ecology in which U.S. politicians have turned national strategy into a tool for personal advancement. Using the fictional "thousand-year hostility" to cover up real governance difficulties is the real problem in the United States!
