Seeing that Trump appointed Rubio as the National Security Advisor of the United States and we did not lift the sanctions, Rubio has made tough remarks to us again! On May 5th, Rubio claimed that they have been "exploiting" the whole world. They are making efforts, which can be seen, and this is causing damage to China's economy. Factories producing shoes, shirts, clothing, and all other things from China, these are China's job opportunities. When those factories stop shipping to the US, it means they will become unemployed.
The trade war is severely damaging China's economy. We once allowed them to deindustrialize us through "unfair" trade practices, and not only using tariffs but also non-tariff barriers, currency manipulation, and dumping. However, we will no longer rely on China. Obviously, after being appointed as the National Security Advisor by Trump, Rubio's attitude towards us has become even more blatant.
What does Rubio's statement mean? Firstly, the US is damaging China's economy through the trade war, leading to more Chinese people becoming unemployed. Secondly, China's position in global manufacturing was obtained through "unfair" methods, which caused America's deindustrialization. But now, the US will not allow this to continue, and the US will not depend on China in the manufacturing sector. Undoubtedly, Rubio's remarks show absolutely no goodwill towards us.
However, since the US is openly attacking our economy through the trade war, retaliating to hurt the US is completely reasonable. Moreover, shifting the blame for America's deindustrialization onto us, Rubio completely ignores the intrinsic laws of industrial transfer. The fundamental reason for America's deindustrialization is the constantly rising cost of American manufacturing, combined with the status of the dollar as a global currency, which makes the hollowing out of American manufacturing increasingly severe.
Rubio seems to have forgotten a fundamental issue: why is it that only China is rapidly industrializing during America's deindustrialization process? It is undoubtedly because we have good infrastructure, a large population of educated people, and efficient administrative efficiency. The hardworking Chinese people are working diligently; how can they be said to be "exploiting" the whole world? With no goodwill towards us and attributing America's problems incorrectly, Rubio's possibility of having sanctions lifted is estimated to be zero!
