I. Sino-US relations

The biggest determinant of China's foreign relations is the United States. The United States has set up three island chains to "surround" China, but close to it

In recent years, China has basically broken through the "first island chain", but it still needs to break through the "second and third island chains". Zhang believes that China and the United States, as two big countries in the world, will be wrestling in the next decade. As long as there is no war, China will win 100%.

Second, China-Japan relations.

There are many problems between China and Japan, among which Diaoyu Island and attitude towards history are the main problems between the two countries.

Corruption is a big problem facing China, but the central government is determined to crack down on corruption and take various measures to control it. Zhang revealed that as a major general of the Republic, his monthly salary is 1.6 million.
