The common people often have conflicts for trivial reasons. The conflict is caused by economic distress or suffering from discrimination. I personally think about how to heal or avoid the conflict by living a double life of academic thought and the reality of the common people. If you run into your opponent when you are in a conflict, you will be caught up in a crude life, and if you focus on other goals or ideals, the conflict will be thrown out.
The same is true of relations between countries. China, which borders many countries, will be different from the United States, which is surrounded by oceans and operates a lush state.
The U.S. does not associate itself with the outside world and does not resolve or resolve independently, even if there are internal problems such as gap between the rich and the poor. And the United States concentrates on its efforts to pioneer a future-oriented and new world. China mixes internal and external problems at random. Such problems get worse because South Korea and North Korea are divided. South Korea and North Korea are agonizing over three issues: division, internal affairs and international relations. North Korea is armed with nuclear weapons to solve these problems in one shot. In fact, North Korea’s nuclear armament may be a way to counter unspecified outside forces.

The reason why China emphasizes nationalism is because it has a lot of internal troubles. China’s most important concern will also be economic inequality.
One hundred Chinese cities have more than I million people; by 2025 there may be as many as 200. Yet behind all these spectacular numbers lie troubling realities. While wealth is concentrating in the New China, hundreds of millions of citizens in the rural provinces continue to live in poverty. Would-be workers from the villages walked and biked by the millions toward the jobs in the shadows of all those new skyscrapers, but eventually the authorities were forced to stem the migration and reverse it. In the headlong rush to modernize, China’s planners victimized the powerless farmers once again.

In order to control social instability, President Xi Jinping’s absolute power will be justified, and patriotism and nationalism will also be justified.
Considering the rapid pace of economic development in the hightech era, India is likely to worry about China, The problem will be similar to the one the U.S. has caused because of China and in fact India’s high-tech industry is growing rapidly growing.
