The military embargo on China" is a very sensitive topic......

During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Western bloc led by the United States opened the door to the republic in terms of arms sales in order to win over the republic and deal with the red empire. In the 80s of the 20th century, the Republic successively imported SH-60 helicopters from the United States, the "Spey" engine (a turbofan engine used in the British version of the "Phantom" fighter) from the United Kingdom, and jointly developed the main battle tank with the United States.

The Red Empire collapsed, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union ended, and the republic lost its "use value".

Western countries immediately imposed sanctions on the republic in the name of "human rights" and "democracy", among which the "military embargo on China" was the first and most severe.

In accordance with the relevant regulations, NATO and EU member states prohibit the sale of any weapons and equipment to the republic.

The sanctions are so severe that not even a single bullet can be sold to the republic!

Military sanctions have not only caused great trouble for the republic, forced the republics to improve relations with Russia, obtained advanced weapons and equipment from Russia, but also allowed the republics to see the true face of Western countries.

For decades, even though the republic has made great strides in military technology, Western countries have not lifted sanctions.

In the first few years of the 211 th century, France, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, and other countries successively proposed lifting the "military embargo on China" within the EU, with the intention of breaking Russia's monopoly position in the republic's high-end arms market and sharing billions or even tens of billions of dollars in arms trade every year.

Compared with European countries, the United States has done a more desperate job in the "military embargo against China."

End of the 20th century. After summing up the experience of the "Gulf War". It is proposed to speed up the development of early warning aircraft and local areas. Signing a contract with Israel. Purchase of the "Il-76" as the carrier ground "Fercon" AWACS aircraft. A $20 purchase amount was made to Israel. After learning the news. The United States has resorted to despicable means of "terminating military aid to Israel." Israel was asked to tear up the contract. AWACS aircraft shall not be supplied to the republic. Israel had to return the purchase money to the republic. Payment of liquidated damages. The "Fercon" AWACS aircraft has been refitted. It was eventually sold to India.

"Military embargo on China" at the same time. However, the United States is wantonly exporting weapons and equipment to countries and regions surrounding the Republic.

Enter the 1st century. The United States has successively sold to the ROK, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, India, and other countries many advanced weapons in the mainland, including fighter jets. A large number of second-hand weapons and equipment have been provided to Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, India and other countries. It is as if there is a complete blockade of the republic.

When Pang Xinglong raised the issue of "military embargo". Leslie's trip to Beijing encountered an insurmountable obstacle.

In Leslie's opinion. The "military embargo against China" has long lost its original meaning of "restricting the expansion of China's most powerful forces." It has become a tool for politicians to seek political benefits.

The military strength of the Republic cannot be questioned. The military scientific research capability is not much worse than that of the United States. Take, for example, the Air Force. J-14J-15 ~ after the success of the system. The gap between the Republic and the United States in aviation technology has been reduced to less than 1; With the beginning of the development of fifth-generation fighters, unmanned combat aircraft have gradually become the main air force. The gap between the Republic and the United States will continue to narrow; In less than 5 years. The republic will not be much worse than the United States in the field of the Air Force. The continuation of the military embargo has had little effect. On the contrary, it will become an obstacle to Sino-US exchanges and mutual trust.

The problem is that political interests can have the greatest influence on politicians.

The lifting of the military embargo, what the president says does not count, and it will have to be decided by Congress. As long as it is related to Congress, the problem will become more complicated.

The arms groups will fully support the lifting of the "military embargo on China," but the human rights groups will go all out to oppose it.

In less than a year and a half, the bill to lift the military embargo against China could not be passed in Congress. A year and a half later, the world is a different story.

To Leslie's surprise, the news media of the republic made a big deal about the "military embargo".

The Republic has made it clear that if the military embargo against China cannot be lifted, nothing will be discussed.

Hyping up that "the United States is about to lift the military embargo on China" is a ruthless card played by the Republic in this round of diplomatic games.

On July 5, at the EU leaders' meeting, the French president once again proposed to "lift the military embargo on China" and carry out cooperation and exchanges with China in the military field in a conditional and selective manner.

The proposal was actively supported by Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Austria, Greece and other countries, and Spain and the Netherlands expressed a cautious view that military cooperation and exchanges with China could be carried out in appropriate areas and in appropriate ways. It is only Britain that remains firmly opposed, because the Republic has sold a large amount of weapons and equipment to Argentina in previous years, to the detriment of British interests. According to the British language, if the military embargo against China is lifted, it is very likely that China will apply European military technology to the field of Xindi, squeeze out the products of EU countries in the international arms market, and cause EU military technology to flow into hostile or unfriendly countries.

Compared with more than a decade ago, the attitude of EU countries has changed, not to occupy China's local arms market.

In the current situation, even if the EU immediately lifts the military embargo on China,

It will also not import weapons and equipment from the EU in large quantities, and will not even buy military technology in a big way. The reason is simple: the Republic has surpassed European countries in technology in many important areas.

In terms of the Air Force, the Republic's J-14 is an advanced fighter of the same class as the F-22 and Su-43 (Russia's fourth-generation heavy air superiority fighter), and its performance is far higher than that of the EFF2000 jointly developed in Europe and the French "Rafale"; The J-15 is a light multi-role fighter of the same class as the F-35 fan G-45 (Russia's fourth-generation light multirole fighter, developed under the designation LMFSS, which beat the S-54 of the Sukhoi company in the competition and received an order from the Russian Air Force), and there are no analogues in European countries, except for the JSA, which belongs to the third and a half generations.

In terms of the navy, with the launch of the "electric AIP conventional submarine" using 6-stage composite batteries and superconducting motor power modules to the international arms market at the end of 2018, the total contract orders and 18~ intention orders in 6 countries in 2019, the contract orders and 22~ intention orders obtained in 8 countries in 2020, and the 22~ contract orders and 16 intention orders of the country in the first half of 20211, the total contract orders for the whole year are expected to exceed and the intention orders to exceed 30~, Surpassing Germany and France, it has become the world's largest submarine exporter for three consecutive years. Corvettes, which also use electric propulsion systems and have a displacement between 800~:and 2400~:, have become the main products of surface ships of the Republic Navy, and in 20199 and 2020, they beat the bidding products of Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom in the arms procurement bidding competition of 8 countries, and won 32~0~0~00 contract orders and 20~.

In terms of the army, the Republic's ground equipment has always been praised by many third world countries for its high quality and low price. As the Republic has successively introduced advanced technology to the international market, the Republic's Army weapons have begun to enter the arms markets of wealthy countries, and Saudi Arabia alone purchased tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled artillery from the Republic in 20119.

In 2020, the Republic surpassed Russia, the United Kingdom and France to become the world's second-largest arms exporter after the United States.

The United States can sit firmly in the position of "boss", mainly relying on the total amount of land signed with Japan in 2020

Arms sales contracts amounting to $850. In terms of "breadth of sales" and "sales prospects," the Republic has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest arms exporter. The most conservative estimate is that by 2025, the Republic will surpass the United States in arms sales and become the world's largest arms exporter.

In 20199, the International Defense Advisory and Research Center (Europe's most famous defense research institution) published a survey report, predicting that from 2020 to 2035, the total global arms trade will exceed 25,000 yuan (about 35,000 yuan, or 120,000 yuan in 20199 currency). This is a market that cannot be abandoned for any major arms exporter. The report clearly mentions that China and the United States each occupy 35% of the market, Russia receives about 15%, and EU countries only receive 1%. There are two reasons for the lack of competitiveness of EU countries' arms: one is that the strength of the euro has made the price of weapons and equipment of European countries high, and the other is that European countries lack core competitiveness in their weapons and equipment.

Relatively speaking, the strength of the euro is still a secondary issue.

The Republic's currency is still strong, and because of its core competitiveness, the Republic's arms are sold better than anyone else. Russia's currency has been weak, and because it lacks core competitiveness, it can only play the price card.

The key is that European countries lack the core competitiveness of local arms.

In terms of power technology, the armaments of European countries are not comparable to those of the republics; In terms of electronic technology, it is not comparable to the United States; In terms of price, it can't compare to Russia.

At this time, France, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Belgium, and other major European arms exporters proposed lifting the military embargo against China precisely in the hope that through military-technical cooperation and exchanges with the Republic, they would obtain key technologies from the Republic to improve the performance of weapons and equipment and gain a greater share in the international arms market.

For European countries with economic difficulties, if they can obtain hundreds of billions of euros in arms sales revenue in the next one year, it will not only provide millions of jobs, but also enable European countries to get through the Great Depression faster.

The problem is that on the military embargo, the republic plays the diplomatic card, not the economic card.

If European countries are mainly concerned with economic issues in lifting the military embargo against China, then Japan is considering national security issues on this issue.

Leslie had not yet arrived in Beijing, and the Japanese government and opposition were boiling.

When the Republic of China was trumpeting a "Sino-US honeymoon," even the Japanese prime minister could not sit still.

The situation facing Japan is very obvious: If the United States agrees to lift the military embargo against China, all the advanced weapons and equipment that Japan has just acquired from the United States will become an ornament!

The time has come to test the wisdom of the Japanese.

Damn it**

During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
