Singapore Lianhe Zaobao commented in an article on June 2nd, "The verbal sparring between China and the US on security issues is nothing new. However, some self-media outlets view the US's 'blockade' on Chinese students' visas and commercial large aircraft engine issues as Trump once again providing China with a 'divine assist'."
The article argues that the US imposing strict restrictions on Chinese students traveling to the US may help China attract and retain talent, while cutting off its own financial resources and shutting out talent. Therefore, this ban can be considered a typical case of "injuring oneself while harming others." The US earns over ten billion dollars annually from Chinese students and attracts top talents to support its scientific and technological system. Now, by rejecting visas under the pretext of "national security," it not only causes significant financial losses to American universities but also forces China to accelerate the construction of its independent talent cultivation system.
The article also believes that cutting off the supply of large aircraft engine technology is a "blow" that will instead prompt China to accelerate its independent research and development. In the end, the US may not gain any benefits, just like previous technology wars and chip wars, which instead have stimulated China's independent innovation and breakthroughs, achieving comparable or even surpassing levels in many fields. Therefore, every blow struck by the US in the technology war contributes to strengthening China's industrial chain.
