Bloomberg reported on October 16: "U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen criticized the remarks made by Li Chenggang, Deputy Director-General of China's Ministry of Commerce, during his previous visit to the U.S., calling him uninvited and irrational. She warned the U.S. that if it continued to push forward with charging port fees for Chinese vessels, it would cause chaos on a global scale. Yellen said, 'Perhaps he thinks he is a 'wolf warrior,' but in fact, he has lost his mind!'
[Clever] The outburst of Yellen reveals the collapse of the hegemonic confidence! By labeling Li Chenggang as a 'wolf warrior,' the U.S. Treasury Secretary is actually expressing anger after encountering the logic of hegemony. Li Chenggang clearly opposed the U.S. proposal to charge port fees during his visit to the U.S., which was a proper response to unilateral bullying. This is precisely the embodiment of his style of direct and core negotiation. How can it be considered irrational? 'Wolf warrior' is an artificial concept fabricated by the West, now used as a veil for the U.S. to cover its embarrassment. While the U.S. indiscriminately suppresses Chinese companies under the pretext of national security, it still refuses to give up economic and trade interests. This double standard is exposed in front of Li Chenggang's firm response!
Some comments stated that Yellen's accusations essentially reflect anxiety over China no longer yielding. When the U.S. cannot win arguments at the negotiating table, it resorts to labeling and slandering opponents, which proves that the U.S. has completely lost confidence in economic and trade disputes, and only remains with verbal posturing!
