Introduction:
The ties between China and the United States are an issue of general concern to the international community at present. The U.S. statement about "decoupling" from China has already attracted attention, but there is information that the ** between China and the United States will be on a downward trend from 2023. However, the United States is still reluctant to completely "decouple", and five of the Big Five have opened their doors to China's **. Analysts said that although the number of China and the United States has decreased, there are still many specific issues to consider, so the United States will not make a decision lightly.
The amount of ** in China and the United States is gradually decreasing.
China and the United States have declined sharply, and the trend of bilateral "decoupling" has accelerated. In a sense, the United States has achieved the goal of decoupling from China's economy, but in reality it is a different matter. In addition, the United States has also increased exports to Southeast Asia, Mexico and other countries, which are all made in China. "Disguised decoupling" is a new trend, and the United States** may gain more economic pressure as a result, but it may benefit from it.
of data is shown as "decoupling".
According to statistics, exports from the United States and the United States will be 20% and 4% respectively in 2023 and next year, respectively, and the total value of China and the United States will be reduced by 17%, while China's exports to the United States will be reduced by 17%. This data may be regarded as a "victory" by the United States, but the significance contained in it is even more far-reaching. The shrinking amount between the two countries has not only had a huge impact on the economic development of the two countries, but also posed a huge test to the stability between China and the United States.
2. Transformation of the "decoupling" strategy.
During the Trump administration, the slogan of "decoupling and breaking the chain" was very popular, and now, Biden's governing style is more inclined to gradual "de-risking". This strategic change reflects the U.S. strategic realignment toward China, which has shifted from blindly seeking "decoupling." While the 17 percent decline is "good news" for the United States, it is still important to look at its overall economy with caution.
3. The current situation of "decoupling" between China and the United States.
Although the amount between the United States and China has decreased, the two countries have not been cut off in the entire system. The United States still regards China as the world's second largest partner and the third largest partner, that is, even in the context of "decoupling", it is difficult to cut off economic and trade relations between the two countries. Although the United States is trying its best to show a posture of "decoupling" on the surface, in fact, it is also carrying out a subtle adjustment and equilibrium.
Changes in U.S. policy toward China and its dilemma.
In its attitude toward China, the United States has both the idea of "decoupling" and the tendency to maintain economic and trade relations with China. What is the reason for this change? The attitudes of these five ** contain more meanings and conflicts.
1. The Big Five of the White House issued a statement.
Burns, the U.S. representative to China, told the American Chamber of Commerce in China that he stressed that the United States is unwilling to "decouple" from China and wants to maintain economic and trade ties between the two countries. Biden, Secretary of State Blinken, Yellen, Secretary of Commerce Raimondo and other five heavyweights all said that the United States should continue to do business with China and not advocate "decoupling". The emergence of these remarks may mean that the United States will face more difficulties and challenges in China's diplomacy.
2. Economists' views.
Many economists have explained this shift in the United States, pointing out that the US "decoupling" approach will not change abruptly, but will go through a gradual process. Although the number of ** has decreased, the United States has not "broken the chain" with China, on the contrary, it has found a new ** partner around the world. This strategic shift shows that the United States is cautious about China, rather than blindly pursuing the ultimate goal of "decoupling".
3. The realism of economic exchanges between China and the United States.
Although the United States has ostensibly adopted a "decoupling" attitude towards China, the exchanges between the two sides in the economic field have never been interrupted. From the arrival of the chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan and the meeting between the Chinese Minister of Commerce and the United States, it can be seen that the economic and trade relations between China and the United States still exist. This fact shows that no matter what kind of "decoupling" the United States is waving, the economic relations between China and the United States are strong and difficult to be severed in the short term.
The conclusion is that the complex relationship between the United States and China reflects the current political and economic situation in the world. The "decoupling" of the United States from China is constrained by its own political and economic environment on the one hand, and changes in the world pattern on the other. The economic and trade relations between China and the United States are very complex and difficult to separate. China and the United States should work together to respond, work together, and work together to achieve win-win results.
