Reference News Network on December 25** Hong Kong's "Asia Weekly" published an article entitled "The Anti-Climax of the Sino-US ** Chain Game" on December 25, and the full text is excerpted as follows:
The Sino-US ** chain game will have a "counter-climax" in 2023 (referring to the failure to appear the expected plot - note on this website). The United States believes that it can suppress China's economy by doing its best to sanction and suppress China, and to unite Europe, Japan, and South Korea to contain it. However, it backfired, but made China strengthen the resilience of the first chain, not only did not lose the key position of the global first chain, but supplemented and strengthened the chain.
Because the United States has worked hard to develop the "friendly shore" chain, it wants to transfer the original chain concentrated in China to Vietnam, India, South Korea and Southeast Asia, but in practice, almost all the raw materials of the chain come from China. The measures taken by the United States have only stimulated many manufacturers to move from China's industrial chain to Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries, but the raw materials and technology of the entire chain rely on China, which only lengthens the original chain.
In particular, India and Southeast Asian countries have poor infrastructure, and even if the goods are manufactured, how to ship them out is a problem. As a result, many factories in Vietnam eventually have to move back to China, because Vietnam often loses the "last mile" in export channels. India's problem is similar: factories produce products and ship them to the West, but they can't overcome the poor infrastructure conditions at home, which is equivalent to an increase in costs, and finally has to rely on China's industrial chain to remedy it.
For the sanctions on key technologies, the United States has also encountered unexpected developments, because this has stimulated China to play a leading system, implement the "whole industrial chain", and do not allow any link to rely on foreign countries, so as to achieve industrialization and comprehensive self-reliance and self-reliance.
2023 will also be a year of counterattack in China's global power structure. China's thunderous announcement that Saudi Arabia and Iran will shake hands and make peace with each other has changed the situation in the Middle East and shattered the long-term layout of the United States, which can no longer rely on the dispute between Sunnis and Shiites to exploit loopholes, take advantage of fishermen, and use this to favor Israel. This has raised China's position in the Middle East, not only gaining the upper hand in geopolitics, but also making it difficult for the United States to engage in sowing discord in the Middle East, so that China has more security guarantees in the energy chain, has abundant energy power, and ensures economic development.
One of China's major diplomatic achievements in 2023 is the holding of the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, which was attended by more than 150 countries, which is equivalent to a quasi-United Nations conference, showing that the world has a high degree of recognition of China's vision of a community with a shared future for mankind, and is also dissatisfied with the international structure of the United States' supremacy. Countries participating in the "Belt and Road" Forum for International Cooperation discussed more cooperation models at the meeting in Beijing, and the most important thing is the establishment of local currency transactions, which is tantamount to paving the way for "de-dollarization" and developing a ** chain that is not subject to arbitrary sanctions by the United States, which has become a subtext. It is necessary to establish a free and inclusive international pattern, promote equality and mutual assistance of international powers, completely get out of the power structure left by imperialism, and move towards a new platform that transcends the hegemony of major powers.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the International Import Expo held by China attracted guests from 154 countries, regions and international organizations around the world, and more than 200 American companies participated, showing that American companies want to break free from Washington's shackles, strengthen investment in China, and share the dividends of China's huge market.
Subsequently, the China International Chain Promotion Expo held in Beijing attracted more attention from global entrepreneurs.
This is all China's diplomatic summary in 2023, which is to use its powerful innovative power to counter US sanctions. And Chinese companies are also establishing a stronger and stronger base in the United States, behind which is China's digital power, using the power of digitalization to turn things around, show the wisdom of the Chinese, not afraid of the siege of the West, but face difficulties in adversity and strive for the final victory.
