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

During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, in order to win over the Republic and deal with the Red Empire, the Western group led by the United States opened the door to the Republic in arms sales. In the 1980s, the Republic successively introduced sh-60 helicopters from the United States and the "Spee" engine from the United Kingdom (turbofan engine used on the British version of the F "Ghost" fighter), jointly developed main battle tanks with the United States, and was also preparing to introduce many weapons and equipment including the "Harrier" fighter.

The Red Empire collapsed, the Cold War of the United States and the Soviet Union ended, and the Republic lost its "utilization value".

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

According to relevant regulations, NATO and EU member states prohibit the sale of any weapons and equipment to the Republic.

The sanctions are so severe that even a bullet cannot be sold to the Republic!

Military sanctions not only brought great trouble to the Republic, forcing the Republic to improve relations with Russia, obtain advanced weapons and equipment from Russia, but also allowing the Republic to see the true faces of Western countries.

Over the decades, even though the Republic has made great progress in military technology, Western countries have not lifted sanctions.

In the first few years of the 211th century, France, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic and other countries successively proposed to lift the "military embargo against China" within the EU, in an attempt to break Russia's monopoly position in the Republic's high-end weapons market and share billions or even tens of billions of dollars in arms trade every year. As a result, due to the firm opposition of the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries, the proposal to lift military sanctions was not approved within the EU.

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

At the end of the 20th century, after summarizing the experience of the Gulf War, the Republic proposed a plan to accelerate the development of early warning aircraft and land. It signed a contract with Israel. It purchased the "Il-76" as the carrier aircraft "Felcon" early warning aircraft. It paid 20 yuan for purchases to Israel. After learning the news, the United States used despicable means of "termination of military aid to Israel" to demand that Israel tear up the contract and not provide early warning aircraft to the Republic. Israel had to return the purchase money to the Republic and pay compensation for breach of contract. The "Felcon" early warning aircraft was modified and finally sold to India.

At the same time, the United States is exporting weapons and equipment to countries and regions around the Republic.

Entering the first century, the United States has successively sold many advanced weapons in the mainland, including fighter jets to South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, India and other countries. It has provided a large number of second-hand weapons and equipment to Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, India and other countries, and has shown a comprehensive blockade of the Republic.

When Pang Xinglong raised the issue of "military embargo", Leslie encountered an insurmountable obstacle when he visited Beijing.

In Leslie's view, the "military embargo on China" has long lost its original meaning of "restricting the expansion of China's power" and has become a tool for politicians to gain political benefits.

The military strength of the Republic is not questionable. The military scientific research capabilities are no less than that of the United States. Take the Air Force as an example. After the successful operation of the J-14j--15, the gap in aviation technology between the Republic and the United States has been shortened to within 1; as the fifth-generation fighter jets began to develop, unmanned combat aircraft gradually became the main air force. The gap between the Republic and the United States will continue to narrow; within five years, the Republic will not be much worse than the United States in the air force field. Continuing to impose a military embargo will not only have little effect, but will instead become a barrier to hindering Sino-US exchanges and mutual trust between China and the United States.

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

The president’s statement does not count, and Congress has to make a decision. As long as it is related to Congress, the issue will become more complicated.

The arms group will fully support the lifting of the "military embargo against China", but the human rights group will fully oppose it.

After a year or two, the bill to lift the military embargo against China could not be passed by Congress. A year or two later, the world was a different look.

Leslie unexpectedly, the Republic's news media reported extensively on the issue of "military embargo".

The Republic has made a clear attitude that if the military embargo on China cannot be lifted, everything will be free of negotiations.

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

On July 5, the French President once again proposed to "release the military embargo against China" at the EU Leaders' Meeting, and to cooperate and exchange with China in the military field with conditions and selectiveness.

The proposal was actively supported by Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Belgium, Austria, Greece and other countries. Spain and the Netherlands expressed a prudent view, believing that military cooperation and exchanges with China can be carried out in appropriate fields and in appropriate ways. The only one who still firmly opposes is the United Kingdom, because the Republic sold a large amount of weapons and equipment to Argentina in the past few years, endangering the interests of the United Kingdom. According to the British statement, if the military embargo on China is lifted, China is likely to apply European military technology to the new territory and exclude EU countries' products in the international arms market, causing EU military technology to flow into hostile or unfriendly countries.

Compared with more than a decade ago, EU countries have changed their attitudes, not to occupy the arms market in China.

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

It will not import a large amount of weapons and equipment from the EU, nor will it even purchase military technology in large quantities. The reason is very simple. The Republic's technology in many important fields has surpassed European countries.

In terms of the air force, the J-14 of the Republic's J-14 is the same as the F-22 and Su-43 (Russia's fourth-generation heavy air combat fighter), with performance far above the Eff2000 jointly developed by Europe and the "Railing" of France; the J-15 is the same as the F-35 MiG-45 (Russia's fourth-generation light multi-purpose fighter, developed the code-named LMFss, defeated Sukhoi's S-54 in the competition and obtained the order from the Russian Air Force). Except for the third and a half-generation JSA, European countries have no similar products.

In the Navy, as the Republic launched the "electric AIP conventional submarine" to the international arms market at the end of 2018, it obtained contract orders and 18-intention orders in 6 countries in 2019, and contract orders and 22-intention orders in 8 countries in 2020. In the first half of 2021, it obtained 22-intention orders and 16-intention orders from the country. The total contract orders for the whole year are expected to exceed

, the intended orders exceed 30~, surpassing Germany and France, and have become the world's largest submarine exporter for three consecutive years. The light frigate with a displacement of 800~ to 2400~ has become the main product of the Republic's naval surface ships. In 20199 and 2020, it defeated the bidding products of Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom in the competition for military purchase bidding in eight countries, and obtained 32~ contract orders and 20~ intention orders.

In terms of the army, the Republic's local equipment has always been well received by many third-world countries for its high quality and low price. As the Republic gradually launched the army's main combat equipment that adopted advanced technology to the international market, the Republic's army weapons began to enter the arms market of wealthy countries. Saudi Arabia alone purchased tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled artillery from the Republic in 20119.

In 2020, the Republic surpassed Russia, and Britain and France became the second largest arms exporter in the world after the United States.

The United States can firmly hold its position as the "Boss" mainly rely on the total number of signing places with Japan in 2020

An arms sales contract worth 850 yuan. If we talk about "sales breadth" and "sales prospects", the Republic has surpassed the United States and became the world's largest arms exporter. The most conservative estimate is that in 2025, the Republic will surpass the United States in arms sales, becoming the veritable largest arms exporter in the world.

In 20199, the "International Defense Advisory and Research Center" (the most famous defense research institution in Europe) issued a survey report, which predicts that the total global arms trade will exceed 25,000 yuan (calculated in the 20199 currency value, about 35,000 yuan, or 120,000 yuan). For any major arms exporter, this is a market that cannot be given up. The report clearly mentioned that China and the United States each account for 35% of the market, Russia obtains about 15%, and EU countries can only obtain 1c%. There are two reasons for the lack of competitiveness of EU countries' arms. One is that the strong euro makes the prices of weapons and equipment in European countries expensive, and the other is that weapons and equipment in European countries lack core competitiveness.

Relatively speaking, the strong euro is still a secondary issue.

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

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

In terms of power technology, the arms of European countries are not as good as the Republic; in terms of electronic technology, they are not as good as the United States; in terms of price, they are not as good as Russia.

The major European arms exporting countries such as France, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Belgium proposed to lift the military embargo on China at this time, hoping to obtain key technologies to improve the performance of weapons and equipment from the Republic through military and technical cooperation and exchanges with the Republic, and gain a larger share in the international arms market.

For European countries with difficult economic development, if they can earn hundreds of billions of euros in arms sales in the next year, they will not only provide millions of jobs, but also enable European countries to survive the Great Depression faster.

The problem is that in the military embargo, the Republic plays diplomatic cards, not economic cards.

If European countries mainly consider economic issues when lifting the military embargo against China, then Japan is considering national security issues on this issue.

Before Leslie arrived in Beijing, the Japanese government and the country were in full swing.

When the Republic advocated the "China-US honeymoon", even the Japanese Prime Minister could not sit still.

The situation before Japan is very obvious. If the United States agrees to lift the military embargo against China, all the advanced weapons and equipment that Japan just obtained from the United States will become decorations!

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