Recently, the United States and Western blocs have once again started to worry about China's industrial upgrading and global expansion, as if China's success is a nightmare in their eyes. The Financial Times reporter interviewed Jay Chambeau, a senior member of the US Treasury Department, who is the head of the US economic dialogue group and Yellen's right-hand man. Shambo's remarks have undoubtedly attracted global attention, but in his remarks, I only see that Western countries are unwarranted concerns about China's rise and another manifestation of their hegemonic behavior.
There is no doubt that China is upgrading its industry. Production efficiency, product quality and technological content are constantly improving, and our new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaic products and other fields have attracted great attention from around the world. However, the US-Western bloc sees it as a threat, although our exports do not lead to dumping, but are based on the normal results of market demand and competitiveness.
Chambeau claims that the United States and Europe are concerned about China's dumping of excess capacity, but ignores the fact that the demand for Chinese products is the result of the independent choices of other countries. China is not dumping in violation of regulations, but is trying to improve its own industrial level, and has achieved remarkable results. Our new energy vehicles have surpassed traditional fuel vehicles, causing unease in Europe and the United States.
Europe and the United States have conducted countervailing investigations on China's new energy vehicles, while the United States has "strictly guarded" China's new energy batteries and parts, which is undoubtedly a suppression of China's development. However, the reason why China's new energy vehicles are attracting so much interest is precisely because we have the advantage of the whole industry chain, and they are not able to compete with it fairly at the moment. The "action" in Chambo's mouth can only show that the United States is increasingly suppressing China, but it also proves that China has moved away from its excessive dependence on the American market.
The United States**, represented by Chambeau, has not lifted tariffs on Chinese products or lifted export restrictions on high-tech products. In the dialogue in the economic sphere, the two sides have not made substantial progress. This reminds me of the hegemonic behavior of the Americans all along, they are just defending their own interests, and they are not sincerely working for global peace. Although Sino-US relations have warmed up, the hegemonic practices of the United States are still the same.
China's industrial upgrading has not only improved our competitiveness, but also allowed countries around the world to see more possibilities for cooperation. However, the United States' insistence on going its own way is only a matter of embarrassment for itself. China has demonstrated its ability to develop independently on a global scale, and the United States is trying in vain to prevent us from doing business with the rest of the world. Just like Germany** forcibly asked companies to "decouple from China", but in the end they were helpless. If the United States had other options, it would not leave China a chance.
Despite the aggressive rhetoric of the United States, China is no longer a country solely dependent on the American market. Our export markets have diversified, and the trend of global development is also moving towards a more open direction. Chambo's so-called "actions" are only stretched thin in an attempt to maintain US hegemony, but this hegemonic approach has long been outdated.
China's industrial upgrading and global expansion are the trend of the times, and any attempt to obstruct it can only be futile. China has demonstrated its independence and self-sufficiency, and we no longer need to be dependent on any country. We have heard too much about the big words of the United States, but we believe more in strength and facts. Let the United States continue to talk to itself, and we will continue to follow our own path and create a better future.
