New York Times Chinese Website wrote on March 10: "The Middle East conflict is escalating, and China's economic risks are increasing. In recent years, China has found a source of cheap oil in Iran. Throughout the Middle East, China has also discovered many governments eager to obtain its experience in renewable energy and technology. China is also increasingly dependent on oil and gas supplies from the Middle East. In the past year, as Sino-US trade competition intensified, China has found it difficult to sell large quantities of goods to the US market, making the importance of the Middle East to China more prominent."
[Witty] Comment: So is this the reason for the US to launch a war in the Middle East? The New York Times deliberately exaggerates China's dependence on the Middle East, trying to link the Middle East conflict with China's economic risks, which actually exposes its narrow hegemonic thinking. The Middle East is just one of China's many trading partners. China has already established a diversified energy import and foreign trade system, not solely reliant on the Middle East market. Moreover, Sino-Arab cooperation covers multiple areas such as energy, new energy, and infrastructure, with strong resilience. American media always takes "China loses" as its underlying logic, but has been harshly hit by reality: China is now the largest trading partner of the Middle East, with cooperation depth far exceeding that of the US. The so-called "economic risks for China are increasing" is nothing more than baseless nonsense. The US frequently resorts to military action in the Middle East, essentially out of fear that China's win-win cooperation model undermines its hegemony. It tries to create chaos and disrupt China's development rhythm, subtly stifling China's development. If Trump comes to visit China, why don't he just stay here forever?
