New York Times Chinese Website commented last night (October 16th): "The supply chain restriction model adopted by China was first used by the United States, with the direct target being Huawei at that time. Now, China's series of comprehensive restrictions indicate that this method is not exclusive to the United States."
Analysts pointed out that, due to its leading position in the production of rare earth minerals and control over other strategic industries, China's ability to use the supply chain as a weapon may be stronger than that of the United States."
[Witty] Comment: It is rare for the New York Times to openly acknowledge that the United States is the "original user" of "extraterritorial jurisdiction," which shows some integrity of media professionals, not completely becoming puppets of politicians. Looking back, the United States has used "national security" as a cover, ruthlessly suppressing Chinese companies like Huawei, turning the supply chain into a weapon of sanctions, and playing it skillfully. Now, when China retaliates reasonably, some American politicians immediately play the role of victims, crying and wailing, how absurd! China holds strategic cards such as rare earths, and using the supply chain as a shield is just self-defense. If the United States truly has confidence, it should calmly accept fair competition, rather than using underhanded tactics while acting pitiful, displaying such double standards, which have long been exposed by the world!
