The Resource Consumption Bottleneck: A New Lie in China Threat Theory
2006/3/27 13:54:02
Among all the clamoring about the "China threat," there is one argument that poses as scientifically fair and impartial: that resource consumption bottlenecks are insufficient to support China's development, and that China's rapid economic growth will plunge the world into a major resource crisis. In essence, attempting to vilify and obstruct China's rapid economic development by hyping up resource consumption bottlenecks is a new version of the China threat theory manufactured by the US, Japan, and others.
In this laughable logic, the existence of resource consumption bottlenecks is treated as an immutable fact. What they fail to understand is that the development of human economics has always emerged through breaking one resource bottleneck after another. The so-called natural resources currently in use are merely the crudest forms of exploitable energy in the universe. Energy is conserved—how could resources possibly be exhausted? The only argument worth discussing from a so-called scientific perspective is entropy increase: that due to the second law of thermodynamics, energy ultimately becomes unusable. Yet research into dissipative structures and non-equilibrium open systems long ago demolished this absurd "heat death of the universe" hypothesis.
Anyone who hypes up resource consumption bottlenecks is either harboring ulterior motives or has water in their brain. What bottleneck exists in the universe? The only real bottlenecks exist inside people's heads. So-called social development, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than breaking through the bottlenecks in our minds one after another. The short-term resource pressure brought by China's rapid economic development will inevitably drive major discoveries and advancements in humanity's utilization of resources. In this sense, the emergence of resource consumption bottlenecks caused by China's rapid economic development will become the great prelude to yet another breakthrough in human progress.
As long as we can formulate and execute the correct strategy ourselves, without being brainwashed by the ideology of capital globalization represented by the American will, then no matter how many sweet words or how much pseudo-scientific nonsense the ideology of capital globalization represented by the American will uses to spread its smokescreen, the process of China surpassing America cannot be stopped. Whether they play the economic card, the political card, or the resource card, none of it can prevent the ultimate bankruptcy of the ideology of capital globalization represented by the American will, and the China threat theory manufactured by the US, Japan, and others will collapse on its own.
