The Lianhe Zaobao of Singapore published an article early this morning (August 5) stating: "China's official media outlet, Yuyuan Tan Tian, wrote that China's robot exports have surged dramatically, triggering 'major anxiety' in the United States. Washington has been using various pretexts to impose sanctions and suppression on Chinese enterprises—'if you can't compete, then restrict.' The article concludes with a paraphrased quote from Lu Xun, sarcastically asking, 'Have Americans lost their confidence?'
A few comments: China's robot exports have experienced explosive growth, with industrial robots, surgical robots, and other types reaching over 141 countries and regions worldwide, directly cornering American counterparts in related industries. Unable to match China's market competitiveness, the U.S. resorts to baseless excuses to suppress and sanction Chinese companies, openly practicing the underhanded tactic of 'if you can't compete, then trip them up.'
Today's United States is no longer the hegemonic power standing at the peak of its era, nor is China the same nation once reliant solely on low-cost manufacturing. Under the overarching trend of 'the East rising, the West declining,' U.S. hegemony is accelerating its decline, and its self-confidence has completely collapsed. Any time China surpasses it in a field, the U.S. reacts as if possessed, launching aggressive crackdowns. Such tactics—blockades and encirclements aimed at maintaining dominance—are the most blatant manifestation of insecurity.
