Graham, a Republican congressman in the United States, recently issued a threat of "hellish" sanctions against China, claiming that if China attacks Taiwan, the United States will impose comprehensive economic, political, and military sanctions on China. This remark has aroused widespread concern in the international community and has also intensified the tension and confrontation between China and the United States. Graham's words and deeds, however, are not motivated by concern for Taiwan, but by deeper monetary and political interests. In the face of the threat from the United States, China has also shown strong resilience and innovation, and has effectively countered it through a variety of means.
Graham is one of the most radical anti-China members of the US Congress, and he not only advocates US interference in international affairs, but also makes many extreme remarks on the Taiwan issue. He has said that if China attacks Taiwan, the United States will go to war with China, even at the cost of using nuclear **. He also introduced a bill that would require the United States to provide more military aid to Taiwan, including warplanes, missiles and submarines.
However, Graham's words and deeds are not motivated by genuine concern for Taiwan, but by deeper monetary and political interests. During his visit to Taiwan, he once asked Taiwan to buy American Boeing planes in order to increase US arms sales. He reportedly has close ties to Boeing, from which he once received large political donations. In addition, he has reached a number of unknown agreements with the Taiwan authorities concerning Taiwan's economic and political interests. Therefore, his "hellish" threat of sanctions is actually to protect his own votes and interests, and not to defend democracy and freedom.
China has shown a firm stance and strong resilience in the face of the U.S. threat. Unlike in the past, China is no longer afraid of US sanctions, because the United States has used almost all possible means, and China is ready to respond. On the contrary, China's sanctions against the United States are more flexible and effective, especially in the high-tech sector, where China has achieved impressive results.
U.S. sanctions against China are mainly focused on two areas: finance and technology. Through interest rate hikes and sanctions, the United States is trying to undermine China's economy and reduce China's international influence. However, this strategy did not work, but instead stimulated China's ability to innovate independently. China has achieved major breakthroughs in chips, 5G, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and other fields, not only getting rid of its dependence on the United States, but also surpassing the United States in some aspects. China's high-tech products are widely demanded in both domestic and international markets, providing a strong impetus for China's economic growth.
In the face of the threat of the United States, China not only has strong technological strength, but also a variety of countermeasures. As the world's largest manufacturing country, China not only has advantages in the field of high-tech, but also occupies an important position in the field of daily consumer goods. Chinese products have a huge share of the U.S. market, and if China imposes "hellish" sanctions on the U.S., it will have a serious impact on the U.S. economy and people's livelihood.
In addition, China has other counter-levers, such as rare earths and US debt. China is the world's largest producer of rare earths, which are important raw materials for many high-tech products, and if China bans the export of rare earths to the United States, it will deal a major blow to the American technology industry. China is also the world's largest holder of U.S. bonds, and if China sells U.S. bonds on a large scale, it will have a huge impact on the U.S. financial system.
US Congressman Graham's "hellish" threat of sanctions is undoubtedly a provocation in the game between China and the United States. However, China, as a resilient and innovative country, is not afraid of the US threat. China is willing to safeguard its core interests through firm positions and flexible countermeasures, and calls on the international community to work together to make more positive contributions to global peace.
