With the previous high-level meeting between China and the United States in San Francisco, Sino-US relations have ushered in signs of "warming". Recently, the United States has begun to call on China for further cooperation or the resumption of exchanges in some areas.
The first is about climate. The 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) opened in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on November 30. In the meantime, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said on November 29 that the United States would work with China to make the UN climate talks a success. Secondly, militarily, Sabrina Singh, deputy press secretary of the US Department of Defense, made the following statement at a regular press conference on November 30 local time. When the U.S. and Chinese presidents met in San Francisco earlier this month, they agreed to fully restore the military communication mechanism between the two sides. On this basis, the US Department of Defense welcomes further communication with the Chinese side. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also looks forward to meeting with China's new defense minister at an early date.
Obviously, through the high-level meeting between China and the United States during APEC, the United States realized the importance of Sino-US communication, but at the same time, the United States still did not have a deep understanding and still retained its previous limitations and one-sidedness. We have noticed that while the US is shouting that it wants to cooperate with China, it is quietly changing its face and trying to "ruthlessly" attack the two Chinese companies.
As the overseas version of Douyin, TikTok Tok has always been targeted by the United States and the West, and the software has been demonized for a long time from Western political circles and ** circles. Recently, an anti-China politician named Marco Rubio in the US House of Representatives has once again hyped up the topic. He said that unless China "hands over" the TikTok algorithm, the social giant should be "banned from monetization" in the United States. First of all, let's see that Rubio's words actually hide two cautionary points, his preset position is, first, TikTok is controlled by the Chinese government. Second, all information about TikTok's operation is also controlled by Chinese officials. This is undoubtedly a sign of absurdity and ignorance. TikTok as a social software under China's private enterprises, its algorithm belongs to the company's trade secrets, and it also involves user privacy and other aspects of the content, Rubio's arrogant request, not to disclose the algorithm will not let Tik Tok make money in the United States as a threat, this is the bandit logic that comes?
It's not over here, just as Rubio attacked TikTok, the U.S. House of Representatives also made a big move on November 30, local time. A bipartisan group of 11 members of the U.S. House of Representatives wrote a letter asking Biden to investigate and decide whether to sanction Chinese drone manufacturer Shenzhen Daotong Intelligent Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. These representatives believe that the company is inextricably linked with China, and local governments in the United States and some local law enforcement agencies have a record of buying the company's drones, which poses a direct threat to the United States.
It is worth noting that the "Special Committee on China," as an organization promoted by former US House Speaker McCarthy in January this year, has had a bad record on China-related issues since its establishment. In addition to targeting Chinese drone companies, they also said earlier this year that they would increase restrictions on Chinese semiconductors, so that China's related companies completely lose the possibility of mastering American technology.
In fact, whether it is Tik Tok or drone companies, the voices made by the American political circles are essentially a reflection of the lack of correct understanding of China, and they are also a manifestation of Biden's continuous generalization of politicization and politicization of economic and trade issues. Under this kind of extreme thinking, the obstacles to the warming up of Sino-US relations are like weeds, which burn inexhaustibly, and as soon as the wind blows, they have the momentum of growth again. The chain reaction brought about by this will only make the United States more and more entangled and contradictory in the face of China's rapid growth and development, and the many efforts made by the United States to restore communication with China will gradually lose their meaning.
