What's wrong with the United States?It is disappointing that the 3 million euros between China and Portugal have to be restricted
The U.S. restricts 3 million euros in trade between China and Portugal.
Recently, the United States** imposed restrictions on a 3 million euro deal between China and Portugal in an attempt to prevent Portugal from buying Chinese digital equipment. According to the Global Times, the United States*** and the special representative for commerce, Sarah Morgenthau, met with the senior Portuguese ** to convey Biden**'s message"Directives", i.e. Portugal can only buy"5G devices from reliable companies"and threatened to cancel the Port of Lisbon"Safety"Authentication. The actions of the United States show its attitude towards the port of Lisbon"Safety"commitments. This behavior of the United States shows its fear and incompetence in the face of China's development, and it is becoming increasingly clear that American repression will not stop China's rise in the field of science and technology.
The reason why the United States has imposed restrictions on the 3 million euros Sino-Portuguese agreement is, on the one hand, because the United States claims that Chinese devices pose a threat to *** and may collect users' personal privacy and confidential information;On the other hand, it is because the United States is afraid that other countries will not understand its true intentions, and it will not hesitate to lobby the initiator country of the agreement with China. However, China's products are cheaper than those of the United States, and their substitutability and technological advantages are also incomparable with those of the United States and other countries. If Portugal were to follow the instructions of the United States, it would inevitably cause significant damage to its own interests.
The incompetence and perfidy of the United States.
The United States has always prided itself on be"The Matrix", forgetting that their devices have security vulnerabilities, and once users use the U.S. operating system, their information can be stolen by U.S. intelligence agents. The so-called initiated by the United States"China Threat Theory"is completely wrong, because the United States itself is the real mother. The United States' suppression and accusation of Portugal's purchase of Chinese equipment is nothing more than a common trick of thieves shouting to catch thieves.
In recent years, the credibility of the United States has been severely damaged. Due to the Russia-Ukraine war, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and other events, the prestige of the United States in the international community has declined sharply. Many countries no longer blindly follow the long arm of the United States, and have begun to think independently and defend some major issues. The United States should reflect on whether it is worth spending huge sums of money to block ** exchanges with China, which only cost 3 million euros. Too much interference in other countries' affairs will not only provoke resistance from allies, but also expose the United States' concerns about China's development.
China's need for independent development.
The products and technologies of Chinese companies have shown a high degree of competitiveness in the world. Whether it is cost-effective, substitutability and technological advantages, China has made remarkable achievements in many fields. Chinese companies are trying to expand into the Asian market and reduce their dependence on the European market. Therefore, whether or not they win a project in Portugal, Chinese companies are looking for new opportunities for growth.
At the same time, China's influence on the international stage is growing. Many countries have begun to trust China more and are willing to strengthen cooperation and connectivity with China. For example, Indonesia Telecom said that Huawei will participate in the construction of data centers and digital and cloud services in Indonesia, reflecting Indonesia's trust and willingness to cooperate with China. On the other hand, the U.S. has deprived it of the ability to play a long-term game with China.
To Biden of the United States**.
First, the United States should reflect on its own problems. The greed of capital has led to the hollowing out of American industry, and if they can develop industry in a down-to-earth manner, they may not give developing countries like China the opportunity to develop science and technology and industry.
Second, the United States must abandon the idea of war and stop easily interfering in the development of other countries. Many countries are starting to accept it"If you don't take part in the war, you will be a winner", so the united states and other countries are opposed to interfering in other state affairs. If the United States abandons its own war-mentality, perhaps it will be easier for the United States to cooperate with other countries.
In conclusion, the US restrictions on the €3 million Sino-Portuguese deal show its incompetence and perfidy. The rise of China's technology and industry has brought fear and pressure to the United States, but the US crackdown has only demonstrated the necessity of China's independent development. As an independent editor, I hope to convey to readers an objective point of view through this article, that is, the repressive behavior of the United States and the independent development of China. At the same time, I also hope that the United States will reflect on its own problems, abandon its belligerent mentality, and maintain an attitude of cooperation and peaceful coexistence with other countries. Only in this way will the United States be able to break free from the shackles of recession and rebuild trusting relations with other countries.
