The Study Of America's Withdrawal From The INF

The INF treaty is one of the pillar treaties in the field of strategic arms control and international security.In 2019,the United States unilaterally quitted from the INF,launched the development of a new generation of medium-range missiles,and announced that it would prioritize the deployment of such weapons to the asia-pacific region.U.S.policy has made a major challenge to the international security order and China's security environment.From the perspective of policy motivation,in order to better remove international constraints for its own arms development,suppress strategic competitors,maintain and expand the living space of its own military enterprises,and stabilize the diversity and flexibility of the means of global military hegemony,The United States withdrew from the INF.But this policy of which putting American interests first is clearly at odds with the international security order itself.However,in the process of this critical event affecting the international security order,the performance of governments,international public opinion,academic and ideological circles has been as chaotic and short-sighted as ever,so that the international community has lost the opportunity to prevent the crisis from spreading.After the United States withdrew from the INF,except China and Russia,the reaction of other countries in Europe and Asia Pacific,was mostly mediocre.Among them,the eastern European countries and the United Kingdom mostly support the withdrawal of the United States to counterbalance Russia's power;Western European countries such as France and Germany,though relatively cautious,have limited themselves to calling for the U.S.and Russia to renegotiate.The vast majority of countries in the asia-pacific region are focused on the deployment of the America's missiles for fear being caught in the trap of choosing sides between big powers.The discussions in worldwide mainstream media have included the risks of a global arms race,the United States competing with major powers,the relationship between the America and its allies,and how China will react etc.A fairly large number of the discussions have been very consistent with the strategic interests of the United States.Most of the international media did not doubt whether the America's strategy of containing China and Russia is justified or not in the context of increasing destabilizing factors in the world.Instead,they discussed more about whether such measures will be effective,or otherwise,almost tacitly acknowledging the rationality of the America regarding China,Russia and other countries as the strategic opposite and launching an arms race.These biased positions of the global media has greatly encouraged the United States and its supporters to continue manipulating international opinion to achieve the legitimacy of hegemonic acts.International academic and intellectual reactions have been varied and complex.Institutions with interests in the U.S.military became the mouthpiece of America's military hegemony directly.Most American and European academic circles takes China and Russia as the entry point to discuss the withdrawal of the United States from the INF.Scholars from China,Russia and various arms control organizations are mainly opposed to the behavior of the United States,and have expressed obvious worries about the future international order and the development of international arms control,believing that the United States is dragging the international security order to the abyss of confrontation.The opposition and questioning of the international community have not created effective checks and balances on the withdrawal of the United States from the INF.The opposite views of worldwide governments,mainsteam media,academic and ideological circles on the America's behaviour reflects to a large extent the unstable situation of the current international security order.The superiority of power politics over international peace trend and the frequency and intensity of strategic games in the future international security order are showing an increasingly stronger.The invalidation of the INF treaty is not only a major setback to the international arms control system,but also will lead to the deterioration of international relations and regional situation on a global scale.The America's missile deployment plan will also have many negative impacts on China's national security and diplomacy.
