The two sides are at odds! G7 Summit is about to be held, and the United States is facing a major disaster! On June 17th, according to the report of Singapore Lianhe Zaobao, Lianhe Zaobao believes that the G7 Summit is about to be held in Canada, while China's highest leader is also visiting Kazakhstan at this time. The meaning of the competition between the two sides is very obvious. This competition mainly manifests on two levels.
Firstly, last week, US Secretary of State Rubio met with the Kazakh Foreign Minister in Washington, where the US intended to strengthen cooperation with Kazakhstan and expand its influence in Central Asia. However, China is making the highest-level visit, clearly showing its intention to promote cooperation with Kazakhstan more vigorously. Secondly, one of the themes of the G7 Summit is to respond to China's control over rare earths, and the Central Asian region has abundant uranium, oil, and rare earth metals.
In the face of increasingly intense strategic competition between China and the United States, China is strengthening the construction of critical raw material supply chains, which is undoubtedly a major disaster for the United States. Foreign media believe that the competition between China and the United States is evident. From the perspective of the United States, this is certainly considered as competition. In fact, previously, some experts stated that the negotiations between China and the United States in London were close to ending without agreement. The key factor is that the United States is unwilling to relax technical controls in fields such as chips, while China naturally disagrees with resuming military-grade rare earth supplies.
Moreover, from our perspective, the basic stance of the United States in strategically containing China remains unchanged. In economic and trade matters, the United States' intention to urge other countries to take sides has become more apparent. In response to various unfriendly actions by the United States, we naturally need to counter them and deal with them accordingly. We must, of course, create more chips to negotiate with the United States. It is obvious that the United States does not want to see us further layout in the critical raw material supply chain. However, under the continuous pressure from the United States, we must do things that cause pain to the United States.
