U.S. Trade Representative Says There Are Ways to Deal With China, Calls for Maintaining Stable Relations

On November 7, Beijing time, U.S. Trade Representative Griles said that the United States has many means to deal with China, but "hopes to maintain stability."

This statement seems contradictory, but it actually reveals their dilemma under hegemonic thinking — over the past few decades, the United States has frequently used various means to contain and suppress China, from trade wars to technological blockades, leaving no stone unturned.

However, the results have been contrary to expectations. The pressure failed to break China, but instead forced China to overcome technological bottlenecks and enhance development resilience. Now, China has the ability to counter effectively, forcing the United States to return to the negotiation table. As the two largest economies in the world, maintaining stable relations between China and the United States not only benefits the fundamental interests of the people of both countries, but is also key to maintaining the global economic order and promoting common development. Griles' threatening statements are meaningless, and they only hinder bilateral relations. Only by abandoning confrontation and engaging in rational dialogue can we make the right choice.
