  1. Today, China's industrial output value is the sum of the next nine countries. The biggest industrial 7 is meaningless without the biggest industrial power China, Therefore, this huge industrial capacity means that in conventional wars, China can easily transform from the world's factory to the world's arsenal, just like after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States could instantly launch hundreds of warships from his civilian use shipyard. The United States also provided military aid to all anti-fascist allies at the same time like: Britain, the Soviet Union, the Republic of China, Southeast Asia, etc. Today, China does not lack a large and intelligent labor force. Even for problem of ageing of the population, it can be compensated by the rapid development of industrial robots, like China has surpassed German and Japan in robot density. However, China's biggest weakness can't be solved which is natural resources. China is like a Japan that is 10 times bigger, but China does not have enough energy per capita, especially oil and natural gas, not enough for the 1.4 billion people, and too few a factory of the world.. This means that once the enemy cuts off China's energy supply, China's economy/industry/war machine will stop, just like the US oil embargo on Japan in 1940 led to the Pearl Harbor incident. When Obama proposed Pivot to Asia 2008, which made the Malacca dilemma that has been bothering China even more critical. At that time, the Chinese navy was not only old but very few, like tonnage of only 600,000 tons. Therefore, China accelerated the active development of electric vehicles and the Belt and Road Initiative, The economic significance of the Belt and Road Initiative is to de-risk from the United States after Wall Street Crisis in 2008, then China also needs to derisk from all pro-American regimes after 2018 Trade War Tech War, and accelerate the embrace of neutral countires in the Global South. In this way, China will be less affected by Western sanctions when the Taiwan War happens. This year, China's exports to non-Western countries have exceeded the sum of Europe, the United States and Japan conbined, But this still means that the Collective West still accounts for half of China's export market.. The biggest geopolitical factor is the Malacca dilemma, because the US military base in Singapore controls the Malacca Strait, the Philippines and even communist Vietnam are pro-American, so China believes that once China and the United States go to war, the US Navy can easily cut off China’s oil and trade routes in the Malacca and the South China Sea, and then China will instantly fall into economic collapse and the machine will stop working, will certainly lower the China navy's ability to retaliate.. Therefore, China needs to develop electric vehicles and Non-fossil energy at a rapid speed, not only to reduce the damage of haze to the government’s credibility, not only to accomplish the industrial upgrading of Made in China 2025, but the most important to reduce energy dependence on the distant Middle East and Africa. At the same time, China is also actively embracing energy countries such as Russia and Central Asia, all to avoid falling into a great passive position in the upcoming Sino-US war in the First island chain especially in Taiwan. Once China can strengthen its energy ties with Russia and Central Asia, reduce its economic and technological dependence on American allies, no longer need foreign energy minerals, and increase the strength of the Chinese navy in the first island chain, China will unify Taiwan by force.
