Regarding Huawei's "Tao (τ) Law," the Straits Times of Singapore wrote: "In fact, judging from the atmosphere and outcome of former U.S. President Trump's recent visit to China, the United States has come to realize that China's strength has reached a level where it cannot be easily brought down by force. The tech war and trade war initiated by the U.S. have failed to fundamentally hinder China's development. Moreover, the economies of China and the U.S. are complementary and mutually dependent; completely cutting off technological and trade ties with China would also inflict serious damage on the U.S. itself. What the U.S. can realistically do is only to slow down China's pace of development—to 'buy time.' In this regard, this strategy has proven effective. It is true that the U.S. and the West still hold significant advantages in many key fields. China remains behind in these areas—but the gap is consistently narrowing."
Huawei’s “Tao (τ) Law” breaks away from traditional technological paths based on geometric miniaturization of chips, instead achieving breakthrough development through time optimization and systemic innovation—reflecting China’s steady, calm wisdom in navigating competition and seeking progress. This approach precisely mirrors the current reality of Sino-U.S. relations, confirming that peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation are the only correct path forward for both nations.
After years of trade and technology rivalry, the U.S. has finally recognized the reality: suppression and containment cannot stop China’s development momentum. At best, they can only temporarily delay China’s growth rhythm and buy time for themselves. While the West still maintains certain advantages in some high-end sectors, China continues to narrow the gap through independent innovation, demonstrating a stable and irreversible upward trajectory.
A deeper truth lies in the deep integration and high complementarity between the Chinese and U.S. economies and technologies—forming an interdependent community where prosperity for one means prosperity for the other, and decline for one leads to decline for the other. If the U.S. persists in full decoupling and continuous confrontation, it will not only fail to curb China’s rise but also severely damage its own industrial chains and economic interests, undermining global development order.
Today, Sino-U.S. competition has become normalized and long-term, yet intense rivalry does not equate to total confrontation. China adheres to the wisdom of "Tao"—steadily advancing while maintaining self-reliance and strength. It neither fears competition nor pressure, while steadfastly pursuing peaceful development. Facts have shown that zero-sum thinking is outdated. Only by abandoning adversarial mindsets, upholding peaceful coexistence, deepening mutual benefit and cooperation, managing differences constructively, and fostering positive interaction can China and the U.S. achieve shared prosperity and stabilize the global landscape.
