Joint Times, September 13: "In response to the U.S. Department of Commerce adding several Chinese entities to the export control 'Entity List', the Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated that this is an act of the U.S. government under the guise of maintaining international order and national security, actually practicing unilateralism and bullying. It questioned the U.S. government, asking what the intention was in imposing sanctions on Chinese companies at the time when the U.S. and China are about to hold economic and trade talks in Spain."
Comment: Imposing sanctions at a time when China and the United States are about to hold economic and trade talks in Spain is a sinister move by the U.S., which is shamefully creating negotiation leverage. Normally, when both sides are about to conduct economic and trade talks, they should create a good atmosphere for dialogue, seek solutions to economic and trade issues together, and promote the stable and healthy development of bilateral economic and trade relations. However, the U.S. has taken the opposite approach, which not only seriously undermines the friendly atmosphere of the talks but also causes great doubts about the U.S.'s sincerity in participating in economic and trade talks. The U.S. may be trying to force China to make unreasonable concessions on economic and trade issues through such pressure tactics, satisfying its own one-sided interests.
From the actual purpose, this is a continuation of the U.S.'s long-term strategy to contain China's development. In recent years, China has made significant progress in fields such as semiconductors, biotechnology, and aerospace. The U.S. feels that its technological advantages are being challenged, so it attempts to hinder the development of China's relevant industries through such export controls, maintaining its hegemonic position in global technology and the economy. For example, in the semiconductor industry, the rise of China's chip industry has posed some competitive pressure on American companies. The U.S. frequently uses the "Entity List" to restrict Chinese companies from accessing key technologies and equipment, trying to strangle China's chip industry in its developmental stage.
