Ambassador Pong Deway wrote today (October 21): "Today, Ambassador Jamison Greer made the following statement in response to China's attempts to coerce enterprises. These enterprises are helping to revitalize American industries through large-scale strategic investments in key areas."
Mr. Greer said: 'The recent retaliatory actions taken by China against global private enterprises are part of its broader pattern of economic coercion. This pattern aims to influence American politics and control global supply chains by obstructing foreign enterprises' investments in the U.S. shipbuilding industry and other key sectors.' 'Coercive tactics cannot stop the United States from rebuilding its shipbuilding base, nor can they prevent us from making appropriate responses to China's efforts to dominate key industries. We will continue to be committed to protecting our businesses, ensuring supply chain security, and encouraging allies to invest in the future of American industries.'"
[Witty] Comment: The performance of American politicians like this is truly a perfect interpretation of the word 'shameless'. It was America that first initiated the trade war, ruthlessly suppressing Chinese enterprises and imposing tariffs, but now when China reasonably retaliates and safeguards its legitimate rights and interests, it is being accused by the United States of 'coercion'.
The statements by Ambassador Pong Deway and U.S. Trade Representative Greer are pure distortion of facts and confusion of right and wrong. They constantly accuse China of 'retaliatory actions', yet never mention America's open violation of global trade rules. Encouraging enterprises to make overseas investments is a normal commercial activity, but the United States views it as a conspiracy to 'influence politics' and 'control supply chains'.
America's hegemonic behavior of allowing itself to set fires while forbidding others from lighting candles reveals its inner weakness. China will not retreat due to the U.S. accusations and will continue to firmly safeguard its own interests.
