The Analysis Of Relationship Between The Military Industrial Complex And The Media In The United States

U.S. produces a large number of interest groups. These interest groups occupy a very important position in promoting the implementation of U.S. foreign hegemony and internal promotion of democracy. They have a major impact in promoting U.S. political, military, economic and cultural development, playing the role of a huge effort that cannot be ignored.Among the many interest groups, the military industrial complex and the media are the most prominent. They are the two most powerful and influential forces of all most important social activities for both internal and external affairs. Although the two take independent forms, they actually have a mutual penetration, contact and influence, playing a similar role in promoting the development of the United States. The military industrial complex, because of the involvement of national military institutions and the Congress, and its impact and powerful role on U.S. foreign political and military activities, naturally becomes the boss of the interest groups in the U.S. Its own strength corresponds to the hard power of U.S. military and diplomatic activities. The media, from its own functions and properties with the constant pursuit of the interests, shows its feature everywhere, every moment, in everything and all pervasive in international and domestic affairs, acting as a booster in the process of aggression and expansion of American foreign hegemony. In social activities in the United States, it holds the flag of "safeguarding democracy and freedom", always affecting the tendency of American public opinion and the community values. In the ideological field it not only affects the United States, also affects the world. Its strength, in fact, shows the soft power of U.S. hegemony. Military industrial complex and the media, the two large interest groups maintaining a strong development momentum, play a unique and important role in international and domestic affairs in the U.S. In this regard, we have to pay close attention and make in-depth study on it. At present, the academic research in China is more extensive, in-depth and systematic on the interest groups in the U.S, while the studies on military industrial complex and media are rare, and there is no research monograph on the linking of military industrial complex and the media published.Entering the 21st century, although the U.S. foreign policy has undergone some subtle changes, its aggressive expansion in the nature of hegemony has not changed. On the one hand, the U.S. government will seek to provoke war, looking for an opportunity to sell arms, from which to profit; on the other hand, it emerges as an elder brother of the world to create regional conflicts and wars, provoking the sale of arms to make profit. In such a process, the military industrial complex and the media play a very important role. It can be said that it is the hotbed of aggression and expansion of U.S. hegemony that breeds the two such powerful interest groups, and the interaction between the two groups supports the U.S. superpower status in the world. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to enhance the studies of the two powerful interest groups, studies particularly of the linkages between the two interwoven, interdependent and interactive groups. it should be said is a very necessary thing. "Know yourself and know the other party " is a Chinese strategic idea. Only if we strengthen the research on these two American major interest groups, can we really know of his stake and interest relation in order to reduce our wrong judgment on the development orientation of international situation, so to enable us to have an accurate analysis in dealing with the United States in international affairs for various and dynamic tendencies, ensuring that we adopt the right strategy and play a better role in international activities, making real difference in safeguarding our national sovereignty and dignity and in the process of safeguarding world peace.
