Recently, the U.S. Congress passed a bill prohibiting the Pentagon from buying batteries and other equipment from a number of Chinese battery manufacturers, which is seen as a new round of U.S. sanctions against Chinese companies. However, the Chinese side responded with a clever approach, putting the United States and other Western countries under pressure to retaliate.
According to reports, the bill will be implemented from October 2027, when the US Department of Defense will not be able to buy battery products from six Chinese companies, including CATL and BYD. Although US lawmakers have raised reasons such as military security, they are in essence restricting China's scientific and technological development. This is not the first time this practice has occurred in China, whether it is 5G technology or drone technology, and China's rapid technological development in certain areas has often led to similar sanctions.
However, this bill only restricts the military industry and does not involve corporate and commercial procurement, which means that cooperation with Chinese companies such as Ford and Tesla will not be affected. This reflects the fact that the United States is still dependent on China for technology and production capacity, especially in the civilian sector. Among the world's top ten battery manufacturers, Chinese companies account for the vast majority, which is why the United States has not yet completely severed relations with Chinese battery manufacturers.
China's response to US sanctions has been more subtle. According to customs data, China's exports of gallium and germanium to the United States have been completely halted, and exports to Japan have also been sharply reduced. These two materials are scarce key raw materials, and global production is scarce, and China is currently the only country with a complete extraction industry chain, becoming one of the most important merchants. As a result, China's export controls have actually had a serious impact on the production and development of electronic products in Western countries.
The U.S. sanctions have proven not to cause significant harm to Chinese companies, but China's countermeasures have bothered the U.S. and its allies. Some experts even believe that this is a sign that the situation on the technological battlefield has begun to turn eastward. In the face of sanctions, China has been able to accurately identify the weaknesses of Western countries and counterattack, so that the other side has also tasted the bitter fruits of sanctions.
China has not flinched in the face of sanctions, but has continued to demonstrate its technological prowess. Whether it is independent research and development of chips, the development of fifth-generation stealth fighters, or the independent completion of a series of scientific and technological feats such as landing on the moon and exploring Mars, all of them demonstrate China's rise and development in the field of science and technology.
In the face of pressure from the United States and other Western countries, China has stepped up its efforts to independently develop chips. In recent years, China has made a series of major breakthroughs in the field of chips, which can not only meet the needs of the domestic market, but also surpass foreign counterparts in some fields. This has allowed China to reduce its dependence on Western technology and ensure the country's independence and sustainability in terms of scientific and technological development.
China's self-developed fifth-generation stealth fighter has also demonstrated to the world China's strength in the field of military science and technology. The fighter has advanced stealth performance and hypersonic maneuverability, and has a self-developed radar and advanced system, representing a major breakthrough in China's aerospace field. This has not only enhanced China's military strength, but also proved to the world China's independent research and development capabilities in military equipment.
China has also successfully carried out a series of missions to explore space, including autonomous lunar landings and Mars exploration. China's Chang'e probe successfully landed on the moon for the first time in nearly 40 years, and the Chang'e-5 mission brought back lunar samples, setting a new record in the history of world spaceflight. In addition, China successfully launched the Mars probe and began to explore this mysterious planet. These feats demonstrate China's unremitting efforts and scientific and technological prowess in the field of space, and lay a solid foundation for China's goal of exploring a broader universe in the future.
In the face of sanctions imposed by the United States and other Western countries, China has demonstrated strong scientific and technological strength and response capabilities. By restricting the export of key raw materials, China has made the United States and other countries taste the bitter fruits of sanctions. China has made major breakthroughs in independent research and development of chips, the development of fifth-generation stealth fighters, the moon landing and the exploration of Mars, which proves China's rise and development in the field of science and technology, and also makes it impossible for Western countries to stop China's rise through sanctions. Personally, this series of events has made me more deeply aware that the rise of China's technology is an irreversible trend. No matter how much resistance and sanctions China faces, China's scientific and technological progress will continue to promote the development of the country and the nation and create a better future.
