America's God and Country, China's Party and People

Chris said sincerely to his future wife: America is the greatest country on earth, and I will give everything to defend her. As a result, more than 200 Iraqis were killed by his guns, and every shot seemed to be echoed in the Bible that Chris carried with him; A breeze moving the Stars and Stripes. It seems that every American soldier goes to war with a country behind him and God above his head. country why? For a soldier who was a civilian a few months ago, the country is his hometown, his home state, a powerful federation of 50 states; his family, the culture that his family admires, and the sage who created them; A piece of green space outside the house is a beautiful mountain in the distance, it is Yosemite, it is Mississippi... why God? God is perfect because he includes all imperfections; God is pure because he forgives (judgments) all sins; God is omnipotent because he protects all helpless... Therefore, the army of the United States, fight for God and country , to become the division of the great powers that has experienced the most wars in modern times, even if it is a war of aggression, the worst is nothing more than a "crusade" with fading glory. That is to say, even if the two parties are corrupt and dishonest, the U.S. government still has the possibility to mobilize for war.

Unlike China, Chinese soldiers do not have "God". The Buddha said that all living beings are equal. What you have to do is to cross yourself and others. All images are false, and you have to do as little obsession as possible. Obviously, Buddhists do not have the mind to fight, and soldiers who believe in Buddhism are not good soldiers; Confucianism says that all brothers in the world are all brothers. The old man, the young man, the young man, and the young man... definitely don't want you to kill the enemy. Others, such as Taoism, Mohism, and Legalism, are either more developed or have no market at all. Of course, it is not enough to believe in Christ Jesus. The Vatican does not recognize Christianity in China, and the Communist Party also leaves it behind. So it seems that you can only believe in the party. But to put the party above the head and use it as the "God" of Chinese soldiers, there are some problems. Because the party is not a god, the party is not necessarily pure, it is not necessarily perfect, it is not necessarily omnipotent, and often, the party still has many unsatisfactory problems. What Chinese soldiers listen to most is to listen to the party's command, and hit wherever the party points. Over time, the concept of the party is strengthened, but the concept of the country may be diluted. When it comes to war, it may not be your hometown, your own culture, or your own mountains and rivers. If it is to fight against aggression, it is better to rally the military, but it may be difficult to rally the military like the United States to fight a de facto war of aggression. More importantly, if the party corrupts and loses its trust, the army may collapse.

The party seems to be tying up too much legitimacy. On the one hand, it makes itself supreme and extremely important, and on the other hand, it may overwhelm itself. But if you think so, you ignore an important factor, and that is the people. Our country is the People's Republic and our army is the People's Liberation Army. The people are perfect because they can also tolerate all defects; the people are pure because they can judge (forgive) all sins; the people are omnipotent because they have infinite power, and in the secular world, the people are the closest to God concept. At the same time, the people have very rich connotations. They can be elders and villagers, parents and brothers, the old king next door, or Lu Xun and Li Siguang. They can stand in the fields in front of the door, or they can stand in the land of China...

Therefore, China's war is a people's war, and Chinese soldiers are soldiers of the people's children. As long as it firmly grasps and relies on the people, firmly takes the people as the center, and insists on taking the people as "God", the Chinese army will have infinite cohesion and combat effectiveness. In other words, the Chinese military must trust the people, and as long as (and only) the party can represent the people and seize the center of the people, it will have the confidence to lead the army.

In short, the key to the construction of the US military is not the party, but the country and religious beliefs. The building of China's military must be based on the Party, and the key to the Party must be the people. How to catch? That is, from the big abstract top-level design to the small concrete work implementation, we must always think about the people. Only in this way can we continue to write "The last ration is used for military rations, the last piece of cloth is used for military uniforms, and the last piece of cotton jacket cover. On the stretcher, the last son was sent to the battlefield" a military-civilian story.
