Singapore's Straits Times published an article today, which stated: "The ruling by the US Supreme Court has reduced Trump's leverage in bargaining with China. The rift between the US and its allies, as well as Trump's visit to China, may also improve China's rather tense international environment in recent years. However, it can be anticipated that even if Trump's visit to China is successful, the long-term pattern of Sino-US rivalry will not change easily."
Comments: The internal disputes within the United States have created a buffer space for China, but the long-term pattern of confrontation is unlikely to be reversed by a single incident. This analysis is clear and pragmatic: the internal division of the US provides tactical opportunities, but not strategic turning points.
Regardless of how the US behaves, the containment of China has become a bipartisan consensus. Both the Republican and Democratic parties, Trump and Biden, share the same goal of maintaining hegemony, but they choose different tools. The main axis of containing China will not shift; technological blockades, geopolitical encirclement, and ideological offensives will continue to intensify. Therefore, when China makes its own adjustments and strategies according to changing circumstances, the most important thing is to focus on doing its own things, maintain strategic composure, fully develop, and transform external pressure into innovative momentum, and turn the chess pieces of the game into reform dividends, so that it can handle the situation with ease. Because only by strengthening comprehensive national strength and enhancing the ability to resist risks can one have the most reliable shield and the solid foundation for dealing with challenges calmly.
