A few days ago, NATO held a summit in Lithuania and declared that “China poses a systemic challenge to Euro-Atlantic security” and said that it would work together to counter China.
This NATO summit shows that the US is more determined to take the lead in confronting China, and will do so more frequently. But in October 1950, just after its founding, the People’s Republic of China fought a war in Korea with a 16-nation coalition led by the US. China fought against sixteen countries for three years and reached an armistice. With this battle as its base, in the face of this NATO threat, China does not appear particularly afraid, and there are no signs of compromise or surrender. As a result, the risk of an intense US-China conflict is increasing.
The US, which relies on the US dollar, the US military, and the US media as the backbone of the country, is engaged in the main work of printing dollars, waging war, and controlling ideology, It is currently a well-deserved hegemonic country. But it also has a weakness, namely, that it is no longer an industrial power because it hardly produces any industrial goods itself.
China, on the other hand, is a well-deserved industrial power and the only country with the whole industrial chain in the world. The Chinese people work as hard as bees and toil as ants, producing everything you can imagine, from toothpicks to spacecraft.
The consequences of a clash between the most powerful financial and military empire and the most powerful industrial power are hard to imagine. The only way for Nepal to protect its people is to firmly stay out of the situation.
In the case of the US’s official public announcement that the MCC is part of the Indo-Pacific strategy, it is still allowed to land and implement the MCC in Nepal, which is obviously an act of interfering with the US-China conflict, and the future trouble is endless.
