American media is angry. American media claims that China has an intention to target the United States and Europe. After our countermeasures, on October 13, the New York Times published an article stating that China's new export restrictions, ranging from cars and computer chips to tanks and fighter jets, mark its attempt to comprehensively control global trade and reignite the trade war. The new regulations will be implemented in phases on November 8 and December 1. They apply globally. At a time when global trade is becoming more fragmented, China's control over key manufacturing industries has significantly increased.
This time, Beijing not only faces the United States but also puts Europe on the opposite side. China's regulations have caused geopolitical shocks in Europe. In addition to military companies, the global automotive industry is the second most severely affected sector. Manufacturers in the United States and Europe may have to experience months of delays to obtain rare earths from China. Obviously, according to the U.S. media's report, the U.S. media is clearly dissatisfied with our actions, believing that we have ignited a new round of trade war and that we have targeted Europe and the United States.
What is our view on this argument by the U.S. media? Obviously, it only shows one thing: that the U.S. media has no awareness of its own bullying behavior, and is used to bullying other countries. Once we start retaliating, the United States feels extremely wronged, as if other countries have no right to retaliate against the United States. It is clear that this lofty and erroneous perception is itself a big problem for the United States.
It is clearly the United States that launched a trade war around the world. We have only conducted a proactive defensive retaliation. However, the United States claims that we are trying to comprehensively control global trade. This is a typical case of turning the accusation back on the accuser. Nevertheless, regardless of how angry the United States is, the fact is that we have cards to play against the United States. The more angry the United States is, the more it proves that our cards are playing very effectively. If the United States does not want us to tighten our regulatory measures, then the United States must withdraw its existing small moves and return to the consensus already reached.
