Raimondo said that "Beijing can turn off 3 million Chinese cars at the same time", Hua Chunying counterattacked: Are you suggesting that iPhone and Tesla will send confidential data back to the United States?
Are you suggesting that iPhone, Tesla, or even Boeing ......Been sending confidential data back to the U.S.? In response to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce's remarks that "Beijing can turn off millions of Chinese cars on U.S. roads at the same time", Hua Chunying, assistant minister and spokesperson of China, posted a number of posts on the X platform on the evening of March 3 to hit back at Raimondo.
Biden announced on February 29 local time that he would launch an investigation into Chinese-made cars. Against this backdrop, MSNBC announced on March 1 that Raimondo was interviewed by Raimondo. During the interview, Raimondo tried his best to exaggerate the "China threat" and made shocking remarks about Chinese cars. "Imagine if there were a million cars in the world, for example, millions of Chinese cars driving on American roads, collecting data from millions of Americans every minute of every day, and then sending that data back to Beijing ......," she claimedRaimondo added, "Imagine if there were 3 million Chinese cars on American roads, and Beijing could turn them off at the same time." ”
Is a car like an iPhone on wheels? Beijing can turn off millions of Chinese cars on American roads at the same time? Secretary Raimondo was kindly reminded that the iPhone is an American product. Are you suggesting that iPhone, Tesla, or even Boeing ......Has been transmitting classified data back to the U.S. and could be shut down by Washington at any time? Hua Chunying**Raimondo's related remarks** and posted a response.
She then posted, comparing the behavior of China and the United States in the automotive industry, asking, "Who is adopting 'unfair practices' in the global automotive market?" It shows that China's approach is "opening up to global car companies", while the United States is taking "unprecedented measures" against Chinese cars.
Hua Chunying finally shot back, "If your only tool is a hammer, then everything looks like nails." The post is accompanied by a dictionary of the "China threat" that the United States has hyped up in the past: Huawei, TikTok, weather drones, cranes, corn processing plants, garlic, automobiles, ......There are many more, depending on political factors.
In recent years, US politicians have hyped up the "China threat" with more and more outrageous claims. At the end of 2023, U.S. Republican Senator Rick Scott sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Commerce, claiming that garlic from China threatened the U.S. *** and demanded an investigation. Russia Today said at the time that it may sound funny, but it is actually a common phenomenon that American politicians can make similar statements about everything that comes from China, no matter how ridiculous. The article says that at present, the priority of US foreign policy is China, and Washington has then begun to use its paranoia to discredit everything that arrives in the United States from China. Washington's dissatisfaction with China is related to the economy and **, so US politicians use "**threat" rhetoric to stoke fear of various Chinese products.
Earlier this year, the United States frequently found excuses to restrict Chinese cars, Biden claimed on February 29 that China will dominate the future auto market in a way that includes "unfair practices", and that the flooding of the U.S. market with Chinese cars will bring the most risks to the country, and the United States will take "unprecedented action" to deal with it. Mao Ning, a spokesman for China, said at a regular press conference on March 1 that American car companies have been fully enjoying the dividends of China's big market. On the contrary, it is the United States that is engaged in protectionism, which seriously hinders the entry of Chinese cars into the American market. This politicization of economic and trade issues will only hinder the development of the U.S. auto industry.
