A new round of competition has been launched in the field of ** chain. China took the lead in delineating the battlefield and locked in the victory in the field of critical minerals ahead of schedule. The contest is crucial for both China and the United States, as they compete for control of the world's strategic resources. The competition between China and the United States has entered a new stage, and this time it is not only a simple economic competition, but also a major issue related to development and development. The key minerals that the two sides are vying for are regarded as the "vitamins" of strategic industries, and play an important role in promoting high-quality economic development and guaranteeing the highest quality.
After five years of probing and intensive offensives, the United States has finally realized that the blockade and sanctions alone have not had the desired effect on China. In response to China's rise, Biden decided to introduce the concept of bloc confrontation and set his sights on Latin America, Southeast Asia, Africa and the South Pacific, which had been left out in the cold. However, the past practices of the United States have lost their appeal, and many countries are unwilling to become puppets of the United States or vassals that have lost the ability to walk independently. The U.S. technology blockade, economic crackdown, and financial sanctions against China have all been unsuccessful, leaving the U.S. in a difficult position. Faced with the pressures of reality, Biden has had to reconsider his strategy for dealing with China.
At the China-US summit, China issued a bitter exhortation to the United States, calling on the United States to face up to reality and let go of restrictions on China, which will not work. The US side has heeded China's advice under various pressures, and Biden once again reiterated that he "has no intention of containing China's development". However, although the sea is calm, there is an undercurrent surging underneath. The competition between China and the United States has entered a new stage, and the symbol of this contest is the holding of China's first Chain Expo. With the theme of "Linking the World and Creating a Better Future", the Expo aims to provide a platform for countries around the world to promote cooperation, innovation and academic exchanges, and provide new opportunities for expanding economic and trade cooperation with China. In fact, this is China's efforts to build a China-centered network, and China hopes to demonstrate its strength and influence through the Chain Expo.
In the face of China's rise, Biden's ultimate response plan is to reorganize the chain, that is, to "decouple and break the chain" with China. In the context of the continued downturn in the U.S. economy, Biden realized that although the technology blockade and economic suppression did not achieve the desired effect, the restructuring of the ** chain could still have an impact on China. As a result, the United States has acted on two fronts. First, on the foreign front, the United States continues to ignite the fire to keep its market attractive to foreign investment, and uses its technological hegemony to coerce other countries to "decouple" from China. Secondly, on the domestic front, Biden announced the establishment of the White House version of the "**Chain Resilience Committee" before the Chain Expo to officially challenge China.
It is in this context that China's Ministry of National Affairs issued a document on November 30, taking the lead in delineating the battlefield of critical minerals. The document pointed out that critical minerals have become a new area of strategic game among the world's major powers, known as the "vitamin" of strategic industries, and play an important role in promoting high-quality economic development and ensuring national development and security. The document also pointed out that "certain Western countries" have formed small circles and built "small courtyards and high walls" for their own selfish interests, and have not hesitated to use various means to obtain key mineral resources. In order to ensure the safety of China's critical mineral resources chain, the Ministry will take resolute measures. In fact, China is a key player in the critical minerals sector, not only with reserves and technological superiority, but also as a first move, leaving the United States and the West with little chance of winning this competition.
The competition between China and the United States has entered the era of great power competition, which is the symbol of China's first Chain Expo. In this day and age, getting ahead of the curve will be the difference between victory and defeat. The United States has been trying to contain China's development, but driven by jealousy and fear, the United States has taken many detours and lagged behind China too much. The scales are now tilted in favor of China, and China will only become stronger in the future. China has built a China-centric network through the Chain Expo to demonstrate its strength and influence. At the same time, the measures of the Ministry of China have further consolidated China's dominant position in the field of critical minerals. The contest between China and the United States will continue, however, whether it is in the reorganization of the ** chain or the battlefield of critical minerals, China has taken the lead in gaining the advantage, and the balance of victory has tilted in favor of China.
From the intensity of the competition between China and the United States and the competition for the battlefield of critical minerals, we can see that the confrontation between China and the United States has further escalated. China will demonstrate its strength and influence through the Chain Expo, and strive to build a China-centered network. The United States, on the other hand, has adopted the method of reorganizing the first chain and trying to exert pressure on China by decoupling and breaking the chain. However, China's dominant position in the field of critical minerals makes it difficult for the United States to face this competition. The two sides have waged a fierce contest in the era of great power competition, and China will continue to consolidate its dominant position, and future victories have been tilted in favor of China. For me personally, as a self-editor, following the development of international affairs has an important impact on my work and life. By understanding and summarizing the competition between China and the United States, I have become more deeply aware of China's important position and role as a great power. At the same time, I also learned that the competitive world is full of variables, and only by always maintaining competitiveness and innovation can we win in the fierce competition.
