On the Influence of China's Ancient Military Thought on Contemporary National Defense Construction: Science and technology are the fundamental driving force for a strong national defense. Combined with the development of ancient China, we can see that a country's scientific and technological water determines its military strength. Genghis Khan, the arrogant man of that year, was able to set foot on his country's fighters in European countries, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to drive Xiongnu out of the Central Plains, not by his advanced technical equipment and military strength. If China wants to dominate Asia, it must also give top priority to national defense.

It can be concluded that today's China, without a strong national defense force, is an empty talk if it wants to have an important international status and become an important force for promoting world peace. As Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "If China had no atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs and satellites since the 1960s, China would not be a big country with great influence and would not have such an international status."

Extended data:

Strong national defense is the prerequisite for China's survival and development. National defense provides a guarantee for national security, and if there is a country, there must be defense. Without defense, a country's territory and sovereignty will cease to exist. The history of old China is enough to prove this. If China wants to win in the increasingly fierce international competition, it must first put national defense construction in the first place, which is the prerequisite for the stability and unity of China countries and the guarantee for the healthy, rapid and harmonious development of China. China has always pursued the policy of no first use of nuclear weapons, adhered to the nuclear strategy of self-defense and never engaged in a nuclear arms race with any country.
