Joint Newspaper is once again giving us some advice! Joint Newspaper cited expert opinions, claiming that China's massive economy has always brought great shocks to the world! On December 11, Joint Newspaper published an article stating that China's trade surplus has set a record, which is undoubtedly good news for the Chinese government. However, low-cost Chinese products are flooding overseas markets in a tidal wave, and global trade imbalances may become increasingly severe. China's development has caused two shocks to the world.
The first "China Shock" refers to when American and European companies outsourced their manufacturing to China around the year 2000, leading to the relocation of production bases in the US and Europe, with large numbers of factories closing down and causing mass unemployment. "China Shock" 2.0 refers to the export tsunami of low-priced high-tech products from China. With the support of China's national industrial policies, enterprises are producing large quantities of electric vehicles, batteries, artificial intelligence, and new energy products, posing a significant challenge to American and European companies.
From past small commodities to today's and future high-tech products, China's massive economy has continuously brought great shocks to the world without interruption. It is evident that, facing our growing competitiveness, Joint Newspaper actually describes this as the so-called "China Shock," which is obviously very unfair to us. According to Joint Newspaper's perspective, does it mean that we cannot develop manufacturing or cannot occupy a very important position in the global economy? Are Chinese people not allowed to live a better life?
Evidently, Joint Newspaper views China through the perspective of the West, thus seeing our industrialization and upgrading as so-called shocks. However, in our view, China is constantly developing and moving forward. Along with this big development, the economic living standards of our domestic residents have significantly improved, and our international influence has increased more and more, all of which are achieved through our own efforts.
Corresponding to our increasing competitiveness is the declining competitiveness of the West. However, it is impossible to go back to the era of only producing mid-to-low-end industrial products. Countries have competition, but this competition is a healthy commercial competition. The West cannot expect us to stay still. We will not return to the past, and we have every right to live a better life. The so-called "China Shock" is simply a prejudice against China.
