American officials, embarrassed and angry, criticized China as "extreme", while global netizens mocked: "This is just learning from the US"
With Trump setting the tone, American officials have started to attack China. On October 10th local time, U.S. Trade Representative Griles, in an interview, angrily and openly accused China's rare earth export control measures of "long-arm jurisdiction" and being "too extreme".
However, the atmosphere in the news comment section seemed to deviate from his expectations. Netizens around the world sarcastically ridiculed Americans' "accusing the thief of theft" rhetoric, mocking that "the US has been doing this for decades, and China is just imitating, and Americans should be grateful they are good teachers." Others further pointed out that China is not as extreme as the US, because China has the right to regulate its own country's mineral exports, and the US should not expect that others will not retaliate after being hit.
Some netizens from third-world countries were even very excited. They happily said that finally there was a country standing up to confront America's bullying, and the US government should continue to close down and not come out to cause trouble globally.
This is what it means when "the world has suffered from the US for a long time"!
