作为世界头号强国，无论是在国际政治还是经济议题中，美国都是我说一，别人不敢说二的存在，近年来，也只有中俄能够让美国偶尔吃瘪。在海外问答论坛Quora上，美国网友提问：为什么一直以来中国不害怕美国？这引起各国网友的关注和热议，我们看看他们的观点。

华裔网友Chen Tianyi的回答
Because China has a liberation Army.
因为中国有解放军。
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is one of the largest military forces in the world and one of the few national military forces that have mastered mid-range anti-missile technology, satellite destruction technology, hypersonic attack technology, nuclear technology and space weapons technology.
中国人民解放军是世界上最大的军事力量之一，是少数掌握中端反导技术、卫星破坏技术、高超声速攻击技术、核技术和空间武器技术的国家军事力量。
As early as the 1950s, it met U.S. forces on the Korean battlefield, dealing a heavy blow to an inescapable army that had just defeated the Imperial Japanese army.
早在20世纪50年代，他就在朝鲜战场上与美军相遇，给刚刚击败日本帝国军队的的军队造成了沉重的打击。
If the Korea war were a "full-scale military, political, economic, and diplomatic contest" between the United States and China, it would arguably result in a draw. For the newly born People's Republic of China, although it sacrificed a lot in this war, it fully established revolutionary China's position in the international community through its equal struggle with the United States.
•如果朝鲜战争是美国和中国之间“全面的军事、政治、经济和外交较量”，那么可以说结果是平局。对于新生的中华人民共和国来说，虽然它在这场战争中牺牲了很多，但它通过与美国的平等斗争，充分确立了中国在国际社会中的地位。
In addition, as the Chinese People's volunteer Army, has experienced the "test of modern warfare" and grown into a regular army capable of adapting to modern warfare. In this sense, the People's Republic of China gained a lot from this war. Arguably, it was an unexpected winner. From 1953 to 1957, the first Five-Year Plan was implemented, and socialist reforms such as agricultural cooperation in the Soviet model were carried out, laying a solid foundation for national socialism. (A Complete History of the Korean War by Japanese historian Harushu Wada)
此外，作为中国人民志愿军，经历了“现代战争的考验”，成长为一支能够适应现代战争的正规军。从这个意义上说，中华人民共和国在这场战争中得到了很多。可以说，这是一个意想不到的赢家。1953年至1957年，开始实施第一个五年计划，实行苏联模式的农业合作化等社会主义改革，奠定了民族社会主义的坚实基础。(日本历史学家和田春书的《6•25战争全史》)
• The eloquence of resisting US aggression and aiding North Korea proves that the days when Western invaders could occupy a country for hundreds of years by setting up a few cannons on the eastern coast are gone forever. (Report by Peng Dehuai on the work of the Chinese People's Volunteers to resist the United States and aid the DPRK)
•抵抗美国侵略和援助朝鲜的雄辩证明，西方侵略者在东方海岸上架设几门大炮就能占领一个国家数百年的时代一去不复返了。(彭德怀就中国人民志愿军抗美援朝作报告)
• The United States fought two wars in Korea, winning North Korea but losing to China. (New York Times)
•美国在朝鲜打了两场战争，赢了朝鲜，但输给了中国。(纽约时报)

Of course, the fundamental reason why China can truly resist the pressure of the United States is that China has a strong nuclear force. This is the secret of China becoming a true world power.

中国网友Zaiji Jing的回答
If you're strong enough to stand on your own two feet, you won't be afraid. China produces vaccines and chips independently, has mastered advanced space and missile technologies, and has a large and complete domestic market. Tell me, why should he be afraid? Repression, isolation, provocation - all the actions of the United States will not scare China, because the United States can no longer determine China's fate and future, and can not shake the status of this great power.
如果你足够坚强，可以独立自主自强图存，你就不会害怕。中国疫苗自主生产，芯片自主制造，掌握了先进的航天、导弹技术，拥有庞大完备的国内市场。告诉我，它为什么要害怕?打压、孤立、挑衅——美国的所有行动都吓不倒中国，因为美国再也无法决定中国的命运和未来，也无法撼动这个大国的地位。
China does not create trouble, but it is never afraid of it. The US should have known this during the Korean War. Faced with the new socialist state of China, a country with no advanced military equipment and no navy or air force, the United States used almost all of its military power, but it could not defeat the Chinese army. Back then, China was not afraid of America. Why should we be afraid now? Now that China's military is stronger, it must be tougher.
中国不主动制造麻烦，但从不害怕麻烦。美国在朝鲜战争期间就应该知道这一点。面对新生的社会主义国家中国，一个没有先进军事装备的国家，也没有海军和空军，美国几乎动用了所有的军事力量，但它无法击败中国军队。那时，中国不怕美国。我们现在为什么要害怕呢?既然中国的军队更强大了，那它就必须更强硬。
In response to the provocations and oppression of the US side, China is fighting back. At the recently concluded China-Us high-level Strategic Dialogue, the US side first ratcheted up the rhetoric in its opening remarks, making groundless accusations against China's internal affairs. The Chinese representative responded: "I think we see the United States too well. We assume you'll follow the necessary diplomatic protocol.
针对美方的挑衅和打压，中方正在进行反击。在不久前结束的中美高级别战略对话中，美方首先在开场白中严重加码，对中国内政进行无端指责。中国代表回应称:“我认为我们把美国看得太好了。我们认为你会遵循必要的外交礼仪。
Therefore, for China, it is necessary to make our position clear. I have to say, you are not in a position to talk down to China." Every sentence touches the hearts of 1.4 billion Chinese people. They must be excited. Because the basis of negotiation is strength, which proves that China's comprehensive national strength is increasing, including economic strength, scientific and technological strength, national defense strength, national cohesion and international influence. No country in the world can bully China, and the United States is no exception!
因此，对中国来说，有必要表明我们的立场。我不得不说，你没有资格以居高临下的姿态跟中国说话。”每一句话都牵动着14亿中国人的心。他们一定很兴奋。因为谈判的基础是实力，这证明中国的综合国力在增强，包括经济实力、科技实力、国防实力、民族凝聚力、国际影响力。世界上没有哪个国家可以随便欺负中国，美国也不例外!
Through this pandemic, the world knows that America is not the savior. He can't even save his own people, and he's moving the buck around. China has provided free vaccines to 53 developing countries and medical teams and resources to affected countries, sharing its experience and methods in fighting the epidemic and winning wide support and praise. Through the violence in Washington, the "myth of democracy" that the United States has been promoting has been shattered. As the sound of gunfire, slogans, and crashes filled the sky, the chaos of American politics and the flaws of the system were fully exposed to the world.
通过这次大流行，世界知道美国不是救世主。他连自己国家的人民都救不了，还到处推诿责任。中国向全球53个发展中国家免费提供疫苗，向疫情发生国家提供医疗队和医疗资源，赢得广泛支持和好评。通过华盛顿的暴力事件，美国一直鼓吹的“民主神话”被打破了。当枪声、口号和撞击声响彻天空时，美国政治的混乱和体制的缺陷完全暴露在了世界面前。
We have seen the ugly racism and white supremacy in the United States through the Atlanta shooting, the death of Floyd and other racial discrimination cases. Equality has become a joke in America. However, China can manage 56 ethnic groups very well, and all ethnic groups live together as equals and as one. What I am saying is that the United States should be afraid of China and be afraid of China doing better than it does and taking its place.
通过美国亚特兰大枪击案、弗洛伊德被压死等种族歧视案件，我们看到了美国丑陋的种族主义和白人至上主义。平等在美国成了一个笑话。但是，中国可以很好地管理56个民族，各民族平等相处，团结一致。我想说的是，美国应该害怕中国，害怕中国比自己做得更好，取代自己的位置。
However, China's strength does not mean that China will adopt hegemonism. No matter how powerful China becomes, it will not use its power to bully other countries because it is a sign of arrogance. Do not insult or stigmatize other countries for fear of being chased, as this is a sign of low self-esteem. Of the two, China will be the confident one.
但是，中国的强大并不意味着中国将采取霸权主义。无论中国变得多么强大，它都不会利用自己的力量欺负其他国家，因为这是一种傲慢的表现。不会因为害怕被追赶而侮辱或污名化其他国家，因为这是自卑的表现。在这两个国家中，中国将是一个自信的国家。
