The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Sanya, now a nationally famous tourist city, is one of the best choices for many northerners, especially those from the northeast, to spend the winter. Northerners account for half of the city's population.

In today's winter season, Sanya has a very suitable climate. Sometimes the daytime temperature can even reach 30 degrees Celsius, and even lower, it is 25 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature at night is around 15 degrees Celsius.

The blue sky and white clouds, the sea and the sandy beaches, as well as the suitable climate, attract a large number of people to come to Sanya for vacation in winter.

Air tickets to the Maldives are much more expensive, and overall consumption is also much higher. Some people are reluctant to go to the Maldives and choose to come to Sanya.

At the end of 2009, the ASEAN 10+1 Summit was held in Sanya.

This meeting is extremely special because it is the official launch of ASEAN 10+1 economic integration.

After years of continuous efforts and adjustments, the time for economic integration is now ripe.

As the former Greater Chinese civilization circle, with the strong integration power of Chinese culture, the integration process is very smooth.

Now the two sides have achieved full economic integration, which is a very important step forward in the process of regional integration.

This is a meeting of great milestone significance.

It is precisely because of the importance of this conference that thousands of media reporters from all over the world rushed to Sanya just to get first-hand news.

This week-long meeting has attracted worldwide attention.

This can't help but remind people of the European Union and the North American Free Trade Area.

The European Union is the first region in the world to carry out economic integration, and was also the first to propose achieving regional economic, political, military, and cultural integration.

However, since the birth of the European Union and the introduction of the euro, the process of European integration has been bumpy. The conflicts between European countries and the United States and Britain stirring up trouble in Europe and provoking conflicts among European countries have slowed down the process of European integration.

First, there was the Kosovo War. The long-lasting Kosovo War caused a large amount of capital to flee Europe, and the newly born euro depreciated sharply, causing the euro to suffer a severe blow.

In the subsequent Iraq War, the United States resolutely launched the Iraq War despite strong opposition from France, Germany and other European countries, which caused France, Germany and other European countries to break off relations with the United States. Eventually, the United States and Britain were forced to withdraw their troops in Germany, Germany achieved complete sovereignty and independence, and the Franco-German alliance increased its strength and became the dominant force in the European Union.

But even though the Franco-German alliance dominates the EU and promotes European integration, the interference of Britain and the United States is also hindering it, and this force is extremely powerful.

In the UK, there have been some discussions about Brexit, and many well-known experts have argued for the benefits of Brexit, which have been praised by many British people.

In the eyes of the British, it was a huge mistake for the UK to join the EU. Joining the EU has done more harm than good for the UK. The UK has to lose a lot of money every year to subsidize other EU countries, and it is also tied up.

In recent years, there has been more and more discussion about Brexit on the Internet and in various media, and the voices in favor of Brexit have continued to grow stronger.

Coupled with the internal conflicts in Europe, the differences over Russia, and the debt problems of the European five pigs, various problems have cast a shadow over European integration.

Not to mention the North American Free Trade Area, Mexico is still in a state of warlord infighting. A large amount of drugs and counterfeit goods are pouring into the United States from the US-Mexico border, and a large number of illegal immigrants are entering the United States from the US-Mexico border. In order to prevent the flames of the Mexican warlord infighting from spreading to the United States, the United States has to deploy a large number of US troops on the border and the National Guard in each state. However, even so, shells still fall into the United States from time to time every year.

In addition to drugs and counterfeit goods, Mexico has become one of the centers for fraud against the United States and Canada, and the other center is Barat. Every year, countless Americans are deceived, and the amount of money that is deceived and flows into Mexico is as much as 500 to 1000 billion US dollars!
Moreover, Mexico is one of the world's famous organ transplant centers!

The entire North American Free Trade Area is completely different from what was envisioned back then.

At this time, the heads of state were signing documents.

When the document was signed, there was warm applause.

This means that starting from January 2010, 1, regional integration will be fully launched and economic integration will officially begin!

This also means that the '10+1' region has officially become the world's largest economy, surpassing the European Union and the North American Free Trade Area!

In this area, there are industrial chains, markets, and raw materials!
China has been fighting for this day for more than 20 years!
Despite encountering numerous difficulties and facing numerous obstacles, China never gave up.

Set aside disputes and jointly develop! Seek common ground while reserving differences
These are China’s wisdom and China’s hard work!
Unlike Europe and the United States, China does not pursue a zero-sum game, but a win-win situation!

And this day is destined to be recorded in the history of China and the world, and will be remembered and talked about with relish by future generations!

On the road to rejuvenation, China has always advocated peace. Unlike the West, which took the road to rise accompanied by war and plunder, China has always adhered to the principle of peace and has never abused the use of force unless it had no alternative.

Why is there a popular saying in the world now: The world is in tatters, and the Chinese are patching it up?

It can be said that this is exactly China's contribution to world peace.

If China had been more warlike, World War III would have broken out long ago!
When New Year's Day came to an end in 2009 and the world welcomed the new year of 2010, the front-page news around the world was undoubtedly about regional integration.

This piece of news was big enough to be given front-page treatment by major media outlets around the world.

Most of the Europeans gave positive comments and reiterated European integration, believing that in the 21st century, only the real way out for Europe is to truly achieve European integration, and only in this way can Europe become an important pole in the 21st century and become a world chess player rather than a chess piece. European elites actually have a consensus on European integration, because World War I and World War II crippled Europe, causing great losses to Europe, and Europe handed over world hegemony to the United States and the Soviet Union.

If Europe wants to avoid a new world-class war from happening in Europe, there is no doubt that European integration is the only option!

From the European Community to the European Union, and then to the establishment of the euro zone, as well as the Franco-German alliance, the establishment of the Franco-German rapid reaction force is gradually replacing NATO. These are all processes of European integration, and behind this is the consensus and promotion of European elites.

It’s just that European integration is facing huge difficulties.

First of all, economic growth is uneven. European integration has experienced rapid development, but now the internal economic development in Europe is uneven. The economic crisis has caused the sovereign debt crisis in the five European countries, and they have experienced negative economic growth. Although Germany, France and other countries have also encountered economic crises, their economies are still growing. According to the requirements, EU member states need to implement strict fiscal austerity policies, which undoubtedly makes the citizens of countries struggling in the crisis very dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction is intensifying.

The second is the Euro crisis, which started when NATO launched the Kosovo War, leading to a large outflow of capital from Europe. Although it was stabilized later, the external crisis always exists, and the internal crisis has never disappeared. The internal crisis is reflected in the great differences in economic policies among EU member states. Some countries have adopted loose fiscal policies, resulting in a surge in public debt. With the current boom in the world economy, the fiscal conditions of these countries have worsened, resulting in a continuous increase in the risk of national debt default and a national sovereign debt crisis.

Furthermore, the interests of EU member states are not the same. Due to geographical, historical, cultural and other reasons, there are many differences in interests among the major EU member states.

There is also the rise of populism and far-right parties that are anti-integration within Europe. From the European Community to the European Union, there has always been an anti-integration force within Europe, and this force has grown rapidly in the past decade or so. This is the result of both the support of the United States and Britain, and the fact that European integration also harms the interests of some people. The voices of Brexit in the UK are getting louder and louder, and the far-right parties in France are growing stronger and stronger, and their support rate in the general election is constantly reaching new highs.
Now regional economic integration has emerged in the East and is making great strides towards regional integration. This is undoubtedly of reference value and can also be applied within the EU, thereby promoting European integration.

Not only in Europe, but also in the United States, a large number of media have reported on the regional economic integration in the East from a positive perspective, and the great strides forward in regional integration. Many American experts have called for the United States to change its strategy, help Mexico calm its internal disputes, and truly promote the North American Free Trade Area, rather than just considering its own interests, which would lead to fighting alone, and it is no longer realistic for the United States to fight alone.

There are even some Americans who call for the United States to actively promote integration between the United States, Canada and Mexico, true integration.

Compared with the United States, Canada and Mexico are undoubtedly much weaker.

In the eyes of some Americans, these are two big pieces of fat meat that are within easy reach, and there is no need to start a war thousands of miles away, because Canada and Mexico are right at the doorstep of the United States, and the United States has too many means.

Of course, some Americans also saw Greenland. Greenland is located in the northeast of North America. It is one of the Danish dominions and the largest island in the world, with an area of ​​216.63 million square kilometers. The island is located at the junction of North America and Europe, connecting the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. It faces Canada across the strait in the west, the Arctic Ocean in the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the south, and Iceland in Europe across the Danish Strait in the east. Greenland has very rich natural resources, and its onshore and offshore oil and natural gas reserves are quite substantial. The northeast of Greenland alone contains 310 billion barrels of oil reserves. The island is rich in lead, zinc, cryolite and other minerals, and there are even many gold mines on the island.

The entire population of Greenland is only about 5, and the United States has a military base in Greenland, so it can be said that it is within easy reach!

South American countries have also reported positively. Over the past year or so, suffering from the economic crisis, the economic development of South American countries has slowed down. Because of the Falkland Islands issue, South American countries have strengthened their military construction. Over the past year or so, South American countries have been the region with the most imported weapons and equipment in the world, even surpassing the Middle East and Africa.

Various advanced weapons have appeared in various countries in South America, even advanced warships and advanced fighter jets!
Because of Barack's big mouth, the original tacit understanding between the two sides has a huge crack. Except for some national treasures, the South American countries can import most of the weapons and equipment.

This also greatly enhanced the military strength of South America.

South America is also pursuing economic integration and even regional integration!

The South American Union is one of the representative ones!

Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina are all active promoters of the South American Union.

Now all the countries in South America have realized that if they want to avoid being drained of blood and exploited, they must exercise sovereignty. South America must unite. Only by uniting can they have sufficient voice.

Other places are pursuing regional economic integration, or even regional integration, and South America must do it too!

With the commissioning of a Type 001 aircraft carrier in Brazil, the first aircraft carrier fleet of Brazil was formed, which also gave Brazil great confidence. The Lula government has basically regained a large part of its sovereignty through gentle means. At least relying on Brazil's vast territory and fertile land, it can have three meals a day and solve the problem of food and clothing.

In the past few years, a bloody struggle has also taken place in Brazil, with local Brazilian capital constantly snatching meat from European and American capital.

It can be said that the impact of this regional economic integration is enormous!

For Hua Xia Capital, major companies have launched a new round of going abroad, investing and building factories in Southeast Asia, looking for business opportunities, and expanding the Southeast Asian market.

For Chinese companies, there is no doubt that investing in Nanyang, located at their doorstep, is the safest!
Safety is also a major consideration in investment. After all, the greater the profit, the greater the risk, and it is possible that you will lose all your money.

For ordinary people, especially ambitious young people, it was a new round of going to Southeast Asia, and some people even brought their families with them.

After all, even if you farm in Southeast Asia, you can get much more land, which is much better than staying in your hometown with only one acre and three mu of land.

Liu Tao was attending a special meeting at this time. The topic of discussion at this meeting was the sale of islands.

In recent years, some wealthy people have become more and more fond of purchasing islands and becoming island owners. After all, having an island of their own undoubtedly provides privacy and comfort.

Of course, there are also some people who see the tourism potential and want to purchase islands and turn them into scenic spots.

In China, the trading of islands has actually been liberalized for several years, but the terms are relatively short, with the longest being 50 years, and there are also various rules and regulations.

During this meeting, a wealthy businessman proposed that the policy of purchasing islands in Southeast Asia be relaxed so that the islands could be passed down from generation to generation.

There is no doubt that if it can be implemented, it will be very attractive to many wealthy businessmen.
