Why did Margaret Thatcher say that China could not become a superpower?
Lady Thatcher's statement that China will not become a superpower is an inference of the future, provided that China does not have the "contagion theory" it deserves. This inference itself is logically problematic, just like saying that a three-year-old banyan tree will not form a huge shadow around the yard because there are not enough leaves to block the sun, but she ignores that the branches and leaves are still growing, and the huge shadow is actually the result of lush leaves. So if China's economy is the backbone and its military and political forces are branches, then science and technology, system and culture are the leaves of the banyan tree. The same is the comment of the British "Observer": "The current growth rate of China is far from sustainable; Because it relies on symbolic wages, corruption, almost non-existent environmental protection measures, and a financial system that is dangerous at best and collapsed at worst (measured by Western standards). Secondly, as Bill Emmont wrote in 2003, today's China is a medium-sized country at most, and its per capita output value is only a drop in the bucket compared with neighboring countries such as South Korea, which is only equivalent to Ukraine. " Obviously, what shocked the world in China was only the growth speed of banyan tree trunks, and the speed was only three years. As for the growth and extension of branches and leaves, that is only an expected variable. Of course, the cicada is dead, or it can't absorb sunlight, and the branches can't grow. Without the towering clouds, the leaves will be closed for fun! Therefore, China people beat their chests and feet because they can't change the world in terms of cultural influence. Obviously, they made another reckless mistake. China has many lessons to learn, not to mention the broken family. How can he directly claim the title of king over the titles of nobles?

Then, will China have theories and thoughts that "infect" the world? This question cannot be answered now, because the answer lies in the future, but the formation and development of this idea must be now. China is by no means a nation that has been blindly copied. China people's cultural spirit or new ideas can stand out only by making up the course of modern civilization that our ancestors have been in arrears for centuries. I remember that L.S.STAVRIANOS quoted a concept of "developed society and' stopping leading'" in the global history of 2 1 century. Poor and backward Western Europe rose in obscurity, while China was ahead and behind. Similarly, today's western countries have perfect systems, which are difficult to change, and the variable China may rise again. Whether it wants to become a superpower or not, China must show its ambition of overall rejuvenation and return to the top of the world!
