French media: The trade war between China and the United States has become a matter of survival for China

French media cited experts as saying that for China, this has become a survival war concerning the future of the country. On April 29th, AFP published an article stating that the impact of the trade war should not be underestimated. French media said that any solution is not just about the amount of tariffs, but may affect China's economic development in the next few decades and China's influence globally. For Trump, this trade war is to show his strength.

But for China, it has become a survival war concerning the future of the country. Trump also tried to rally other countries to confront China together, which makes people feel that the real purpose of the United States is not about trade fairness, but to comprehensively suppress the rise of China at all costs to ensure the maximization of American interests. Therefore, French media believe that the trade war is not as simple as it appears on the surface. What do we think of this argument of French media?

To some extent, the argument of French media is reasonable. French media believes that this trade war has become a survival war concerning the future of the country. The fact is indeed so. Why do I say so? In fact, the sole goal of America's actions is to contain our development. In the eyes of the United States, the U.S. does not accept a China with increasing influence and continuous development. Both Democrats and Republicans want to contain our development, and the difference lies only in the means.

Trump launched a trade war against us in his first term, and this time he pushed the trade war to its extreme. The purpose of the U.S. is to make us submit to the U.S. and shape American prestige. And the U.S. aims to seize huge benefits by destroying our development, attempting to prolong its hegemony. In the eyes of the U.S., only by stopping our development can its hegemony be stable. Therefore, we have no illusions about the U.S. In fact, we have been preparing for this trade war before Trump launched it. But we firmly believe that America's scheme will inevitably be thwarted. Whatever comes, we are confident to face any challenge.
