Rubio has given us a tough statement! According to an AFP report on May 21, US Secretary of State Rubio claimed that China poses a direct threat to the United States through "unfair" trade practices, "theft of technology," and "drug smuggling." We are ending the era in which China "abuses" the trading system, "steals" American technology, and smuggles fentanyl into the United States.

Obviously, Rubio's remarks were clearly aimed at criticizing us. However, we must point out, what constitutes China's use of "unfair" trade practices against the United States? Apple products can be sold in China, but Huawei cannot be sold in the United States; Tesla cars can travel freely in China, but BYD cars from China face almost insurmountable difficulties entering the US market due to high tariffs. Is this fair trade?

What constitutes China's theft of technology from the United States? The fact is that the United States has long imposed strict technological blockades on China, such as listing China in the export control list of the "Paris Coordinating Committee." In 2011, the US Congress passed the "Wolf Clause," banning NASA from collaborating with China on space programs. The US has already built a high wall in terms of technology. Furthermore, the US is the habitual offender when it comes to espionage, being the country that launches the most cyberattacks and steals data globally.

As for the fentanyl issue, everyone knows that China is the country with the strictest anti-drug policies in the world, where drugs are not even an issue. So why has fentanyl become a problem in the United States? There is no doubt that the fundamental reason lies in the US's inadequate efforts to combat drugs. Instead of addressing its own shortcomings, the US blames others, which is unacceptable. Rubio's remarks are a classic case of someone being sick and wanting others to take the medicine. Undoubtedly, we will not accept the US's baseless accusations and suppression. If US actions harm our interests, we will certainly retaliate.
