Now the relationship between China and the United States is very delicate and sensitive, and any US policy towards China will be labeled as "decoupling" by China, and any development breakthrough in China will also be regarded by the United States as a serious danger".On the surface, it seems that the two sides do not have strategic mutual trust, but in fact, the relationship between the two sides is reversing, which makes the Americans feel extremely frightened, and it can be said that they are all soldiers.
Although "decoupling" was proposed by the Americans themselves, and the concept of "small courtyards and high walls" was also put forward for this purpose, it can be said that it is full of hostility, and any current policy measures introduced by the United States against China will be interpreted as decoupling or containment.
However, the United States itself refuses to admit it, stressing that this is "competition" and does not want conflict. Either in the name of a serious threat to the United StatesIt gives people the feeling that they dare not do it. So, why did the United States, which used to strike preemptively at every turn, become so irresponsible?
If you think about it, whether it is the current **, decoupling, or de-risking, it is actually a serious **barrier or **protectionism, and Americans really want to better protect themselves.
To say this, it seems to be a return to the logic of American thinking. As Trump said that China is "economically invading the United States", or Biden said that China is engaging in "economic coercion", this is not an excuse, this is the real feeling of the Americans themselves.
If you think about it carefully, the seemingly illogical logic of the Americans actually has its own internal logic.
Recall that at the beginning of the reform and opening up, the United States blamed China the most for tariff barriers, protection, exchange rate manipulation, non-market economy, illegal subsidies, market intervention, etc., while we ourselves always responded with the "non-discrimination" and "common but differentiated principles" that developing China should enjoy.
When opening up the country, we are most worried about the impact of foreign investment on our national and traditional industries, and we are even more afraid that our own economy will be controlled by transnational capital.
The reason is very simple, that is, the strength factor, because the developed countries in the United States and the West have absolute strength crushing ability in terms of capital, technology management and market operation.
But today's China is far from what it used to be, and the United States and the West no longer have the absolute crushing power as in the past, and even begin to have a reversal of strength, and it is the turn of the Americans to worry and be afraid.
The reason why the United States suddenly began to promote anti-globalization and decoupling from China and broke the chain is precisely because of the analysis of the situation of power comparison, that is, the advantages of China and the United States have begun to reverse, and now it is the turn of the United States to worry that its traditional technological advantages will be suppressed by China's "free competition".Perhaps they themselves did not realize that this was a reaction of extreme fear.
Therefore, the Americans, in turn, are now going to close their doors to China, because the opening of the door to China has made the United States uneasy.
Therefore, the United States has also begun to learn from the original China, **supplement, **intervention, exchange rate manipulation, tariff protection, etc., has consciously or unconsciously become the usual means of the United States, but the Americans have put on a legal cloak for it, that is, in the name of the United States, or in the name of very, very fierce competition with China.
Since the Chinese model can effectively cope with the impact of external advantages, the United States should also learn from China to protect itself.
It is precisely because this move seriously infringes on China's interests and seriously violates WTO rules, and the decoupling and de-risking is proposed by the Americans themselves, which is naturally interpreted by China as full of hostility.
In fact, decoupling and de-risking can either build a high-walled courtyard for China, or contain ChinaThis is actually covering up the anxiety and fear in the hearts of the United States.
In the field of information and communication, China has been following closely in the past, but in the 5G era, China has surpassed the United States to lead the worldIt's hard to believe and hard to accept.
5G technology, regarded as a basic general technology like the invention of electricity, not only means the upgrading of information and communication capabilities, but also the foundation or necessary conditions for industries such as the Internet of Everything, intelligent intelligence, etc., and can also innovate more new industrial fields.
The United States has mobilized the strength of the whole country to pull Western allies to suppress **5G, and China has still become the country with the most extensive manufacturing and application in the world. If it is not suppressed or allowed to develop in free competition, will the United States still have a market position? It scares them.
What is even more frightening is that the United States would have wanted to bypass it5gStraight to the bend6gLet's have a "seedling boost",But this can't be done, because China is still ahead of the world, and 5G has not yet been popularized in all countries in the world5G is here again. Therefore, whether it is ** or decoupling, it is even more necessary.
5G can't be suppressed, and it can only be used late, that is, decoupling and isolation, otherwise the world's information and communication field and the future economy of this innovation will be controlled by China, which is unacceptable. Refusing to use China's 5G is also preventing rapid adoption in the worldIt is hoped that this will buy some time for the United States to overtake China.
Therefore, it is necessary to ** China's semiconductor chip field. Chips are everywhere and everywhere. Only by mastering the core technology and manufacturing of chips, or suppressing China, can China's 5G and 6G leading edge come to naughtWe have to be at the mercy of the United States.
With the precedent of 5G, it is natural for the United States to focus on all high-tech areas. Quantum computing, artificial intelligence, big data, biotechnology, clean energy, aerospace, etc., must not allow China to "steal teachers" or benefit from cooperation, and even academic exchanges and student exchanges must be restricted. In short, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one, or to close off the United States itself.
However, in the field of clean energy, this was originally a "carbon emission reduction trap" dug for ChinaUnexpectedly, China jumped down and leveled the pit and made the foundation of the building.
Today, China is in a leading and controlling position in the field of clean or renewable energy in scientific and technological research and development, technology manufacturing, practical utilization, and raw materials.
Biden's previous "Inflation Reduction Act" and his recent proposal to ** Chinese electric vehicles,In fact, it is mainly for the battery field.
The reason why the Americans suppress China's science and technology is mainly because they stubbornly believe that the explosion of China's science and technology is the result of stealing from the United States, or the result of exchanges and cooperation with the United States and the West, but he forgets that the rise of modern science and technology in the West is based on the ancient science and technology culture of the East. Chinese do not ask for patent taxes on the four major inventions.
Today, China has achieved a leading edge in 5G and 6G, and the same is true in the field of clean energy, quantum computing artificial intelligence is not much behind, and there is not much gap in the utilization of big data computing, and the key is that China itself is the "largest database".
Importantly, as China leads the world into the 5G era, industrial IoT, intelligence and smart manufacturing applications will also enter a new era before the world.
Clean energy is not only about economic development, but also about leadership in dealing with the climate crisis and environmental governance, which is a common international problem.
In this case, if you do not protect your own scientific and technological advantages, China will develop faster, and you can only take the first or close your own path, otherwise the future world economy may become China's domination. I believe that it will not be long before the Americans will play the "anti-China monopoly card."
In short, whether it is decoupling, de-risking, or great power competition, the United States is indeed starting from protectionism or barriers to protect itself, at least this is the logic of American thinking, and it can also be said that it is learning from China at the beginning of reform and opening up, which is the result of the reversal of the strength crushing factors of China and the United States. The United States does not want to admit China's dependence and imminent transcendence at all, because the United States is embarrassed to admit China's strength.
The United States really believes that it is for self-preservation, and it really believes that it is defending the world, and it really believes that this is a natural great power competition, and it really does not want to engage in confrontation with China, but things are getting worse and worse. It is only a matter of time before China overtakes the United States. The only thing this generation of Americans can do is not to be completely surpassed by China in their own time.
