US media has made it clear that the US will not stop suppressing China unless China gives up its industrial upgrading policy! On October 26, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal in the US, the media stated that China emphasized the importance of achieving technological self-reliance and developing advanced manufacturing in its new five-year plan. This meeting statement pointed out that over the next five years, investment in the fields of science and technology and advanced manufacturing will be strengthened to enhance national strength and address the complex challenges facing the country.
The US media said that there is little indication that officials are planning to give up industrial policies. The "15th Five-Year Plan" indicates that the competition between China and the US will only further escalate. On one hand, China is reducing its reliance on the US, while on the other hand, it continues to push forward with its technological ambitions, indicating that the increasingly intense competition between China and the US will not ease. It is clearly evident from the US media's statements that, in the eyes of the US, China is still formulating industrial upgrading policies and is not about to abandon them, which will directly lead to an intensification of Sino-US competition.
Evidently, the implied meaning of the US media is that the only way to reduce the intensity of Sino-US rivalry is for China to proactively abandon its industrial upgrading policy. Otherwise, the US will continue to fully oppose China. Obviously, we are seeing more clearly the essence of the Sino-US rivalry. That is, the essence of the Sino-US rivalry is that the US wants to contain our industrial upgrading, thereby interrupting our development process. Unless the US achieves its goal or we thwart its plans, the US will not stop.
Certainly, we cannot accept this demand from the US side. Because the US policy essentially aims to prevent the Chinese people from living a better life and to block China's growing influence in the international community. Therefore, we have no choice but to thwart this plot of the US. Moreover, Sino-US technological competition does not mean that China and the US cannot cooperate. Sino-US competition can be a healthy competition, a competitive race where both sides strive to catch up. However, the US currently holds a zero-sum mindset, hoping only for a US-only victory. What we need to do is to make the US shift from a single-win scenario to a win-win and cooperative approach.
