Recently, the United States** has raised a harsh objection to a Portuguese deal with China. According to the news, Portugal plans to buy a batch of Chinese scanning equipment with a transaction value of 3 million euros. However, the United States** expressed strong dissatisfaction and tried to exert pressure to block the deal. Sarah Morgenthau, the special representative for the United States and commerce, recently met with the Portuguese senior ** and conveyed the "spirit of the instructions" of Biden**. Morgenthau said Portugal could only procure "5G equipment from reliable companies" and that if they insist on using Chinese technology, the US could cancel the "security" certification of the Port of Lisbon. Under pressure from the United States, Portugal has also behaved very cautiously.
However, this move has raised many questions. Why is the US so unhappy with a €3 million deal?Why do they feel threatened by Chinese technology and products?Is this an appropriate move by the United States?Next, let's take a look at these questions.
The U.S. attempt to block the €3 million deal between China and Portugal has highlighted their incompetence. Chinese companies participated in international public tenders in Portugal with their best and technological advantages, and in the end, Portugal preferred to award contracts to Chinese companies. This also shows that China's products have obvious advantages in terms of quality and substitutability. However, the United States has used the trick of shouting and catching thieves to try to prevent other countries from trading with China through lobbying and suppression. The question is, why should other countries listen to the US side?Why should they allow their national interests to be harmed?
In addition, we need to be aware that there are security vulnerabilities in the United States' own scanning equipment. Previous evidence has shown that using a US-based operating system leads to the theft of users' information. The United States, the creator of the Matrix, in turn accuses China of security risks. This is obviously a means for the United States to divert attention and confuse the public. If Spain and other countries only listen to the words of the United States, it will cause major damage to their own interests. Therefore, we do not have to pay too much attention to the accusations of the United States.
In addition, the United States is full of fear of China's development. They have tried to suppress China's rise through various means, but this only highlights the need for China to develop industry and technology independently. The more the United States suppresses China, the more it can prove China's strength and competitiveness. The fact that an empire once formidable has become helpless in the face of China's rise has made one wonder what has changed in the country
In the face of China's development, the United States should reflect on its own behavior and practices. First of all, the United States should abandon the greed of finance and capital and develop industry in a down-to-earth manner. If the United States itself had not hollowed out, it would not have given China and other countries the opportunity to develop science and technology and industry. Second, the United States must abandon its belligerent mentality, which is prone to suppressing the development of other countries. Nowadays, the cautious war idea of "not intervening in war is the winner" is more and more accepted, and the United States should work together with the international community to maintain world peace and stability.
In addition, as a great power, the United States should have the measure and mind of a great power. However, the United States pursues the maximization of its own interests and ignores the development and rights and interests of other countries. Such an approach will only instill resistance among its allies and ultimately lead to the decline of the United States. It is only when the United States recognizes this and coexists peacefully with other countries that it can achieve its own long-term development.
In the face of resistance and pressure from the United States, China should maintain its determination and continue to promote the development of science and technology and industry. The pursuit of peace and cooperation and the continuous enhancement of its own competitiveness are the right way for China to cope with challenges and difficulties. At the same time, we also hope that the United States will reflect on its own behavior and abandon its practice of suppressing and interfering in other countries. Only by working together can we achieve peace and prosperity in the world.
