America is very angry! After we imposed restrictions on rare earths, the U.S. media stated that the Trump administration will retaliate against China! On October 10th, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal, U.S. media said that the new restrictions released by China on Thursday are seen as an escalation of the Sino-U.S. trade war. The latest restrictions on rare earth materials by China will constitute an almost unprecedented export control, which may "disrupt" the global economy, giving Beijing more leverage in trade negotiations, and increasing pressure on the Trump administration to respond.
The U.S. media said that such measures pose a challenge to global chip manufacturing and U.S. military production, and it is expected that Trump will respond strongly to Beijing. Obviously, after our countermeasures, the U.S. media used the term "unprecedented export controls" to describe this, which indicates that the U.S. is undoubtedly very angry about our measures and believes that the Trump administration is highly likely to take a strong retaliatory action against China.
However, from our perspective, the U.S. media's reaction is understandable. By doing so, we are telling the U.S. a very simple truth: do not impose on others what you yourself would not want. Why doesn't the U.S. media consider the export control policies on chips and lithography equipment as unprecedented? Why doesn't the U.S. media think that these measures disrupt the global economy?
If the United States wants to strangle us in technology and block our industrial upgrading, then of course we must use our leverage to tell the U.S. that choking us is choking itself. We will also let the U.S. taste what it feels to be choked. For a long time, the U.S. has dealt with other countries in a domineering manner, and other countries have feared the U.S.'s might, daring to be angry but not to speak out. But the U.S. should not forget that we don't accept this. If the U.S. continues to act toughly against us, we will continue to retaliate. The era of unilateral bullying by the U.S. has ended, and the U.S. will eventually learn to accept this.
