Xinhua News Agency of Singapore published an article today stating: "Objectively speaking, if it were not for the trade war and U.S. economic sanctions forcing China, its industrial level might not have advanced so quickly, and it might still have been immersed in self-satisfaction from that era of 'comprehensive superiority'. From this perspective, external sanctions can also serve as a warning bell and a factor that motivates people to strive forward."
It cannot be denied that the U.S. containment and suppression have brought pressure, and indirectly strengthened China's sense of crisis, but this is by no means the main reason for China's development and progress. The real key lies in the spirit of self-reliance deeply rooted in the Chinese people —— facing technological blockades, countless researchers have worked day and night to overcome challenges; relying on a complete industrial chain, enterprises have actively promoted upgrading and replacement. From "following" to "running side by side" and then to "leading", every breakthrough has come from the efforts of the Chinese people who are unwilling to lag behind and strive for self-improvement. This internal driving force is the fundamental factor that promotes industrial progress and technological advancement.
