I believe you have also heard that just recently, US Ambassador to China Burns openly declared in an interview that China and the United States cannot be allowed to "divorce". At the same time, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce also released news that its president and CEO will soon visit China. Many observers believe that this is a show of goodwill by the United States toward China and the latest manifestation of the improvement of Sino-US relations.
But in the past few days, the United States has sanctioned 9 Chinese companies and imposed export restrictions on 8 Chinese companies in the name of Russia. This is very paradoxical, if the United States has shown goodwill to us, then what is the matter with these sanctions? If the United States still wants to engage in confrontation with us, how can we explain the actions of the US ambassador to China and the president of the chamber of commerce?
In fact, this contradictory situation is quite common in Sino-US relations. Especially in the past few years, the United States has shouted "decoupling and breaking the chain" and "de-risking" quite loudly, but in private it has cut off ties with China's economy. Take, for example, Burns' words this time. Burns said that China and the United States cannot "divorce" because there are 750,000 American families who still rely on China for food. Under these circumstances, even if the United States no longer wants to stay in a so-called "dominant" world dominated by Chinese. There is no other reason, the United States cannot do without China, and it has to rely on China to eat.
In fact, this is also a common problem in many countries, from the United States, to Japan, South Korea, and even the Philippines, while trying to find us unhappy, while sticking to us, trying to get benefits from us. When Japan discharged nuclear wastewater, China completely banned the import of Japanese aquatic products. For this reason, Japan has been wrestling with us for a long time, and we have not let go. I believe you can see the current state of the Japanese economy.
The United States is even more so, shouting for a war with us, and as a result, China and the United States are fighting higher and higher. Last year, the United States' largest partner finally became Mexico. But on a deeper look, behind Mexico, there are still Chinese products and Chinese manufacturing. Mexico has only played an "OEM" role. Rounding off, the United States still can't do without us.
What needs to be known is that China is not only the world's largest exporter, but also the world's largest importer. Many countries' foreign trade is pointing to China, and the same is true for the United States. That's why Burns said there are 750,000 American families who rely on China for food. In fact, these 750,000 are not to mention, China's impact on the US economy is definitely more than 750,000 families, and it is not an exaggeration to say that China is the bread and clothing of most families in the United States.
This makes the United States very uncomfortable, and if it wants to contain China's development, its own domestic economy will be hit first. If you want to decouple from China and break the chain, you must first dig a piece of meat from yourself. This is actually why the United States is now jumping sideways repeatedly, like a clown.
But from another point of view, this is just the initial appearance of the results of China's layout. Since returning to the world market, China has used a highly open attitude to intervene in the world. Establish yourself as an integral part of the global ** chain. If someone moves China, they are moving the cake of the whole world.
In such a situation, not even the United States can afford to provoke the whole world. What's more, the United States itself is also bound to the global ** chain. To move China is to move the whole world, this sentence is not just talk. After several years of beatings, the United States has finally admitted this, but for the sake of its own selfish desires, the United States still has to maintain this contradictory clown behavior.
To tell the truth, such an America will not make us feel intimidated at all, but only ridiculous.
