American Chinese media today (August 13) wrote: "Rubio: 'China is basically trying to profit at the expense of our interests.' U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said on August 12 local time that China is the biggest challenge the United States faces. China is a 'rival and enemy' of the United States in multiple areas such as technology, business, trade, military, intelligence, and geopolitics, and China 'is basically trying to profit at the expense of our interests.' He believes tariffs are working to reverse this situation."
[Clever] Comment a few words: This is the absurd logic of anti-China politicians. They can arbitrarily extort, attack, monopolize, and block other countries, but they do not allow other countries to progress, innovate, or surpass themselves, hoping for American supremacy and not allowing China to exceed even slightly. The Sino-U.S. trade negotiations have clearly stated that mutual benefit and win-win cooperation should be achieved. If the United States can block high-tech products from China, why can't China take countermeasures? Looking at Trump's plan for manufacturing to return, during Clinton's era, globalization was promoted, driven by the nature of capital seeking profit, leading multinational companies to shift funds and technology to places with relatively low labor costs and land prices; while Trump tried to use administrative power to raise tariffs, forcing multinational companies to return to the high-cost United States. One follows the trend, the other goes against it. Trying to forcibly bring back manufacturing through逆势 (against the trend) is nothing more than a dreamer's fantasy, destined to fail.
